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.

Call it a tinfoil hat, but there have been a dozen posts centring around close parent offspring relationships, sharing a bed in a new flat with dad, dad buying an expensive edible flower bouquet for daughter, and many others. All of which seem to garner a lot of attention, then get deleted. These posts have been popping up over the year. Also worth mentioning, these post have soon been deleted when questioned on validity or its romantic connotations.
I had been collecting screenshots but the phone I was using is broken.
Anyway, with the deleted post in question, the response style of op seemed similar to other now deleted posts and I believe these posts are fake and are coming from one person/ai/org.
There are a lot of people and bots alike who use forums like this, Reddit mostly, but also smaller ones, to push narratives, to experiment in pushing narratives, to probe how easy it is to change perceptions among a select group of people about a topic.
It may not even be apparent what the goal is or why people or agencies are going through this much trouble, but there are complicated interconnections that a lot of people are trying to explore every day and set up intersecting narratives for tomorrow.
Not all of them are going to be at all successful, meaningful or even make sense. That's part of it too, to see how people respond to almost random new narratives and topics becoming more prevalent.
Basically, trust no one, believe nothing. Go outside, make friends, kill your social media, be social in real life, exercise and stop spending money. If we all did this the bot-farms and corruption would dry out overnight.
the intersecting narratives I had pick up on is 'too close for comfort' parenting eg helicopter parenting. infantilizing ones own parent and cloaked romantic jestures (akin to kissing a parent on the lips, something that is odd but can pass by as normal in some family structures). these narratives seem to be pushed with stories to paraphrase (badly) "I am my mothers IT guy also her carer, also I am trapped" this was to a holy incapable mother who would loose passwords and act with aggression and guilt. now this one i am somewhat hesitant to call out but it did fit the mo.
(gender indeterminate) "me and my dad have a new flat that he bought, we are sharing a bed" followed with a picture of a very modern but empty living space with a double bed. I believe this had been the first of the kind of post I seen, this one garnered alot of reaction comments and likes respectively and in the affirmative. i truly believe this one to be fake but for what reason someone would craft this post isn't apparent.
A photo of a large and what one would assume, very expensive edible bouquet with a title and short comment from OP again to butcher the quite) "my dad bout me this edible bouquet" and the comment I can't remember but the vibe was one of appreciation and gratitude.
most of the posts I had seen used a photo of an object or place but not all.
Sounds to me like just basic incest kinkposting.
The bottom-tier of all online psyops is just kink-posting by teenage guys who want to try to normalize whatever weird shit they're getting off on. "My 18 year old sister is staying with me for a family gathering and we have to share a bed, is this normal?" "People say I'm way too close to my Llama because we tongue kiss and share a bedroom, but I think it's cute and innocent!" "My wife's best friend wants to sleep between us because convoluted and completely unrealistic reasons I'm going to gloss over, Am I overreacting?"
