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.

The prophecy of "one who will bring balance to The Force" wasn't inserted into the franchise canon until 1999's "The Phantom Menace". Nothing in the original trilogy, nor any comic books or other lesser canon, points to this "bringing balance" notion before then.
According to actor Ahmed Best (Jar-Jar Binks, et al.), George Lucas explained "bringing balance to the Force" as purging all Sith / Dark Side influence. The Light Side is balanced-ness; the Dark Side is unbalance.
Knowing that, the prophecy is obviously a callback to the climax of Episode 6... But then in 2012, Lucas sold out creative control, so we started seeing post-Empire Dark Side masters anyway (Moff Gideon, Kylo Ren, Snoke etc.) So I think we have to downgrade expectations of the prophecy: it was important within its own stretch of the Star Wars tapestry, but its Balance was merely for a time, not all time.
Ok, but what about when Spock says "Nanu Nanu"? Is that Spock's mating call?
It's a joke in Sindarin, it means "your towel is in another castle"
Not to be confused with "Shazbot" which is Melmakian for "Frak the positronic Trans Am."
