No Stupid Questions
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.

8-5?
You work 9 hrs?
That is the standard workday in the US. 8 AM to 5 PM with a one-hour unpaid lunch at noon because they want to get eight hours of work out of you. It used to be 9-5 with a paid lunch but that got gutted decades ago.
I didn't realize it was gutted. We're 7.5 here with 2 15 minute breaks.
Unpaid 1hr lunchbreak. Pretty common today to work 8-5 in a 4:4
Does "in a 4:4" mean 4 days on, 4 days off? That's only about 16 workdays a month.
4 hours paid work, 1hr unpaid lunch, four hours paid work, home. Paid for 8hr, but on site for 9hr.
Oh yeah, that's been a common pattern for years and years. I think "9 to 5" refers more to higher-ranking people who get a paid lunch hour out of their 8 as a perk.
Yea, cool.
Lots of people have 8 hrs paid work time + an actual lunch hour. In my experience 8.5 total is more common.
Lol
Not everyone gets to only work 8, lol
Should they
Shouldn't people have a life outside work? The system is coercive enough as it is, and certainly not to our benefit. Basically, ALL your living time is occupied, preventing you from living a simple life.
I mean it should be their choice to work more or not. So yes and no.
It's not their choice if they're then coming here to complain they don't have time for their own life.
Obviously the fuck not lol. Are you trying to build of a strawman about my views to make yourself feel better?
How so
Bruv you mind stop asking leading questions that you know the answers to?
I'm asking because I don't know the answer. That's the point of asking you to explain so I can actually answer you.
Your first comment, "should they", is a blatant leading question, and in my opinion, easily takeable as accusatory.
My first comment was about working 8hrs for 9hrs. You came here being smug about 9hrs being acceptable. It isn't and shouldn't be. You can't even engage honestly and never intended to. You are who you are
I never said that, which is exactly why I commented on you trying to make up a strawman for me, which you've proved you were. I did not come in here saying it was acceptable. I came in here saying it was an unfortunate reality as some, which you somehow took as me saying it was acceptable.
You have to physically get to work don't you?
No
Most people with jobs do though.
Depends on the job.
