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.

I'm mostly talking about camera drones rather than FPV ones.

Every time I take mine out of the bag, people gather around with the same questions: how high does it go, how far does it go, was it expensive, have you ever crashed, etc. - as if they've never seen a drone before.

It seems like every single YouTuber and amateur photographer has one these days. They're easy to fly and relatively cheap too. You'd think they'd be everywhere, but I can count on one hand the number of times I've actually seen someone flying one. Granted, I don't leave the house much and when I do I usually head into the woods, so that probably plays a role. Still, I'm curious if this is just me or if other people have had the same experience.

Lots of people enjoy 'hobbies' that are noisy, obnoxious and dangerous. And straight up illegal

Like illegal street racing. I'm sure all the illegal street racers think people are assholes for calling the cops on them, and that when they crash into someone's house or block traffic that the other people are the assholes...

A few towns around me have dedicated drone zones, as in here is a specific place you can go fly your dangerous and loud drone. Thankfully once they happened, most people started doing that. And they are no long flying them around in general public areas with people and cars and freaking people out. Similar to how people with RC planes... don't fly them in busy areas or in cities... but drone operators tend to be more reckless, or were, until my state/city started banning drone flights in most public areas.

You can fly a drone with a special permit for a special event, but you have to get all of that approved beforehand. Just like if you want to go race your car... you go to a race track.

Or another issue I regular encounter... stupid people taking motos and ATVs on non-motorized trails, acting like they are 'victims' when the park rangers or cops are called to kick them out. Or acting like someone walking their dog on that same trail is an asshole for 'getting in their way' even though they are the one being a twat.
