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.

No body hates veganism as a concept in and of itself. People dislike vegans that think they're better than everyone else because they eat no animal product.
There's definitely animosity toward veganism as a concept itself. The types who use the term "soyboy" and boomers who consider eating lots of red meat some kind of manly recreational pastime.
Yea, those guys are just assholes though - even friends I have that love steaks are aware it's a luxury that shouldn't be expected everyday.
They are used to there being teams in everything. If you are not like me, you are with the enemy team.
That’s definitely not true. Just yesterday I was eating a salad (with chicken and bacon and cheese even) and I had an older coworker pass by and grumpily tell me he didn’t eat rabbit food.
I do.
because vegans hate honey. And we need more honey because we need more bees. (Yes, this topic is more nuanced than that, and is species and geographically limited, but it stands.)
If you have the ability to hate an entire demographic of people based on the actions of a few in that demographic you really need to take a moment for some self-reflection.
the topic was "hating the concept of veganism", not "demographic of people". if you can't separate people from concepts, there's something wrong with you.
and if you don't think that the planet needs more bees, there is something seriously ignorant with you.
How can you hate a concept that doesn't even make any sense.
It's like saying I hate the idea of the color red.
Also, I'm perfectly fine with bees. We need more bees.
we do need more bees. But the concept of veganism means we can't keep bees, so we don't have a direct financial reason to support their numbers (just indirect).
So fuck veganism.
I hate lots of concepts. Nazism, for example. You could call it a concept or an ideology, but I hate it all the same. I don't just hate the people who practice it; I hate the concept in and of itself.
