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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

They likely either get pawned, repaired, or shredded/smashed.
Who shreds/smashes them? Is there a service for that?
pretty much any police department will accept firearms you want to get rid of them (and they're legal.) Many will do a gun buy back program with "no questions asked".
They then either destroy them or sell them off at an auction. Usually, they destroy them.
My gf once was at a police office in Sweden for filing a report. Near the entrance, there was a big solid metal container and the sign "no grenades" on it. It was to deposit guns without any questions asked.
I want to know the story behind the “no grenades” sign. Kind of. It could be hilarious or … very much not.
I don't think someone blew up a container, but, as there are (illegal) hand grenades circulating in Sweden, maybe somebody deposited some in such a container. When it was emptied, all participants got into a hurry as they weren't qualified for handling explosive devices.
Alternatively, they've thought beforehand and placed the sign knowing that some may also want to get rid of their grenades. But as they require extra care, it's probably a bad idea to store them in a container in the foyer of the police station.
I assume the container is regularly checked. probably daily.
Also. There's always a story behind every warning sign like that. One might have just showed up. one might have gone off. but something happened to make someone go, "maybe we should get a sign."
