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 was just hoping for a restful nights sleep, thank you but no thanks.

pretty short.

Are you referring to the movie?

[–] Patnou@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

no. Did know there was a movie about life in an iron long for a person with polio?

[–] imeansurewhynot@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sure, half the movies with iron lungs have to do with polio. Are you talking about the recent documentary?

I heard there were some insane movie about an escaped Nazi war criminal trapped in an iron lung in his mansion, and there is! It's a reeeral mindfuck.

I'm talking about Martha Lillard. The last known US Polio Survivor using an Iron Lung died at 78

You were talking about a movie earlier. So you just found out why iron lungs were developed?

rough story.

[–] Patnou@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

No..I was talking about Iron Lungs a movie I had to look up. But meant life in an iron lung for that amount of time. God rest her soul but I would bet she had problems acclimating to society and stuff.

[–] ekZepp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

The movie doesn't talk about that at all. But at the very least, put things in prospective. Like: "Hell, at the very least, I'm not the guy in this movie."

Are you referring to the off Broadway musical?

[–] Patnou@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

What? Jesus people I only knew about the device not a movie or broadway show.
