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.

Because democracy and the basic rule of law will be fine.
America just elected a convicted felon. The shit you just wrote is demonstrably a fucking lie.
That reminds me, isn't his sentencing coming up in a couple of weeks?
Not anymore, it isn't.
(I'd love to be proven wrong.)
He can pardon himself now lol
The sentencing happens before he has any power.
Plus, any state charges can't be pardoned by a president.
Regardless hes gonna get off scott free
If u think democracy is in such threat how much u willing to bet trump wont step down in 4 years?
Trump won't even be alive in 4 years. He looks like he's knocking on heaven's door right now. We're going to have Vance the Couch Fucker as president.
Heavens door thats pushing it?
I think vance is just playing an excellent political game. If u read his wikepedia he is actually quite progressive on many things.
I didn't say they'd let him in.
That is the most extraordinary bit of copium I've ever read in my life.
I dont need ur copium. Im half way around the globe enjoying my socialised healthcare and bullet free schools.
The fuck are you talking about? You're the one who said it, not me.
Said what? Have u tried speaking ur mind it tends to help people understand what ur trying to say.
He's literally said that people "won't have to worry about voting" once he's in power. Sounds like a direct threat to democracy, no?
At some point it becomes impossible to tell what is something Trump really believes and might actually do versus what is just blowing smoke, blatant lying, a thing that contradicts another thing he said, or something he forgot he said.
I doubt that. Source?
At 24 seconds
My understanding of the context of that was he is talking about was getting the Christians out to vote "just this time" then they wont have to do it again. Doesnt sounds like authoritarian rule sounds like asking a group of people to make the effort just this once.
And why wouldn't they have to vote again in 4 years, as outlined in the Constitution of the United States of America? Put your thinking cap on, and think really hard about it before you answer.
Edit: you just let me know in another comment that you're Australian, not American, so I apologize for coming across so harshly.
ah, the old "that's not what he meant" schtick.
U can make anyone sound like a nazi by taking 4 words they said out of context.
been the default response from all maga supporters since the beginning.
The maga supporters also said sleepy joe and everyone else claimed it was bullshit. Whats ur point?
Seriously? Where the fuck have you been? Let me guess, you just voted for trumpler.
Im an aussie mate. Im here to ask questions and whatch the worlds greatest reality tv show. Ohh and apply critical thinking from an outside perspective.
Okay, I apologize. We're all a little emotional over here right now.
Yeah i can see that. We where sitting at the pub taking bets on electoral college for who had to buy next round of drinks.
