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.

Does most of the US blame Saudi Arabia for the attack? I've never heard anyone make that claim, let alone MOST people.
Right wingers do, everyone else blames Bush lol
A good part of the right-wing anti-muslim bigots in our country blame the kingdom of Saudi Arabia for what a criminal group led by a (distant) cousin of the king did.
Most Americans were 13 or younger when 9/11 happened, and only know what their parents, schools, and friends said.
And this is the most painful thing I've read today.
Little while ago Saudi Arabia invited a bunch of comics over and alot of people were calling them sellouts and why would they do that for a country that trained people who commited 9/11. I can get a list if you want?
That was more about Mohammad "Bone Saw" Bin Salman's attacks on the free press, although given the fact that Saudi terrorists, commissioned by a Saudi leader (Bin Laden) trained in Saudi Arabia were the actual culprits of 9/11, it's really hard to not consider the Saudi people at least somewhat culpable for fomenting extremism.
Not picking a fight but if that's true then shouldn't the equivalent be given to the US? Or other countries?
To the rest of the world, it is looked at that way. The only reason the US doesn't consider their crimes "Their Fault" is the general sense of "American Exceptionalism" that saturates their cultural perception. You think the rest of the world doesn't remember Haiti? Or Guatemala? Or the Philippines? Or the Alaskan Panhandle Incident? Do you think we've forgiven China for Tibet or the Uyghur genocide in Turkmenistan? Or Canada and Australia for their Genocides? The Germans still walk around starting every conversation with outsiders saying "Hi, yes I'm German, and we're very sorry." or something equivalent.
I have no doubt that there are ignorant assholes out there, and the reason they believe that is because racism. But I don't think they are anywhere close to being the majority.
What about Marc Maron, Pete Davidson (he gets an asterick) , Shane Gillis I can go on. Alot of people spoke out against them after the 911 Report came out. And going out on a limb here probably all of the south who are somewhat educated.
That IS going out on a limb.
Oh, and this? This would absolutely an American attack on an ally. The fact it's not officially commissioned by the DoD does not in any way absolve America more broadly of the crimes of the terrorists they produce.
