No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Looks like America (and the rest of the world) has to suffer him at this stage, unless they go full coup de tar mode.

I wonder what the future leaders will look like for Russia, USA and China...

We thought we couldn't do worse than Bush, but here we are. I'm not holding my breath for the future. I'm expecting 4 years of someone not a total asswipe and then we elect mecha hitler or someone somehow worse.

Oof i was watching old Bush speeches about trading with other countries on youtube and felt weird when he sounded smarter than Trump.

Hopefully the next person can even undo some of the cords Trump has managed to tangle, if not cut completely

Fixing what trump has broken will be a generational project, and nobody will be given the time required.

China is the interesting one. Since Deng , it's been an interesting and varied toss up of goals and actions mixed with pragmatism and technological improvements.

I wish Hu's reforms went further, the oppression of minorities halted and Xi wasn't in charge

Mmmm a very interesting one. I guess growing up during the Cultural Revolution after having your high-ranking dad purged makes you hungry lol

Lol sorry I got Xiaoping confused with Xi Jinping (im sick and my head is blurgh).

I was commenting on Jinping's focus on power consolidation and breaking the term limit.

But watching China has been very interesting, especially their grip over global critical minerals and how the rest of the world is reacting. It's been a wild ride for lithium stocks on the ASX lol

Good thing no one has set a precedent for kidnapping or blowing up leaders.
