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.

For those who are unaware: A couple billionaires, a pilot, and one of the billionaires' son are currently stuck inside an extremely tiny sub a couple thousand meters under the sea (inside of the sub with the guys above).

They were supposed to dive down to the titanic, but lost connection about halfway down. They've been missing for the past 48 hours, and have 2 days until the oxygen in the sub runs out. Do you think they'll make it?

My guess is money will save them. I'm only slightly joking

Well, they've got 9 hours and 20 minutes of oxygen supply left as of this post.

Is this the actual sub? It's just a tube, this looks awful.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm not sure that they have a 5 star restaurant built in... but obviously, deep sea subs need to be smaller in size or they just won't work.

I have no idea, but saw someone on the news saying that the chance is not high that they recover it in time

I had hope this morning. It's gone now. If they didn't have a "holy shit we've spotted them!" moment really soon after that, there was no chance of rescue in time before the oxygen was certainly gone.

A bunch of billionaires bite the bullet on a dumb, rich tourist expedition? Lol why should anyone care?

At this point, no. As I'm writing this comment, they barely have an hour of oxygen left. Yeah, they're dead for sure.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I just checked the BBC news website. The sub wreckage has been found. They are confirmed deceased.

"currently stuck" is a euphemism - they are dead. They are gone.

If you're dumb enough to wedge yourself into a sardine can then you may as well sleep with the fishes
