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.

There are some very militant vegans out here on Lemmy, equating eating meat with rape and murder and generally being annoying without actually contributing to the discussions.
They are actively harming their cause. So much so, I suspect them of actually being trolls trying to make vegans look bad.
Or they are just dumb as a brick and don't understand common discourse. That's possible too.
While eating meat is neither murder nor rape, for meat to be produced, exactly that needs to happen.
Or how would you call it?
Animals are born and die, it is the natural circle of life.
You can blame the meat industry for horrific practices to satiate the market with cheap meat.
But it is definitely possible to have ethical meat consumption that doesn't involve murdering or raping the animals.
How?
Well if you support the rape and murder of animals (both common in animal agriculture) don't be surprised when people get upset
Thank you for proving everyone’s point. This is the .01% I was talking about @[email protected]
Eh, sometimes it makes sense to just call things as they are instead of trying to tiptoe around peoples feelings.
If you don't think artificial insemination is a form of rape/sexual violation, then idk what kind of meaningful discussion we can have. If you don't think unnecessary killing is murder, then again idk what kind of meaningful discussion we can have. (Note that there's not really any good reason for the term "murder" to only apply to humans. If someone kills your dog would you be opposed to the use of the word "murder" then?)
Do you refer to animals predating other animals as murder too?
Do those other animals have the biology that allows them to subsist on other foods and the higher thinking required to question the morality of their actions?
Arguably, yes to both of those things.
Vegan cat food exists for example and animals have exhibited morals.
Cool you should just block me, we won’t get along and I won’t be able to respond, since I’m blocking you right after this.
Your parameters for conversation aren’t conducive for polite conversation.
Feel free to say whatever you like back, I won’t see it and maybe you can feel better pretending like you won.
Have the life you deserve.
