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.

I was curious about domains and looked for something. The domain was available, but it cost over $1,000,000

What would happen if I clicked "add to cart" and tried to buy it if...

  • I couldn't afford it
  • I could afford it

Does someone reach out since it's a big sale? How do they confirm I have the money? Who does the money go to?

Assuming I don't have the money, at what point would I get blocked? I assume they don't just process giant purchases the same way as $10 ones

So, you're telling me in the US you can move a million dollars in a transaction and no one will bat an eye? Holy money laundering, Batman! :O

Edit: Btw, this reminds me of a guy that was doing crypto transactions from unknown origin (and not huge quantities, in the thousands) and had his accounts frozen by the bank because authorities wanted to investigate where the money was coming from. But I think he was in the UK. I'm amazed that you can move money that easily in the US...

I moved 12,000,000 million last year and no one batted an eye. Other then the lawyers involved, no one really cares. I am sure the banks double checked any large transactions but if they do, I am not aware of it.

As for taxes, they were made aware of it when I filled my financials at the end of the year. Taxes paid then.

The person you’re replying too doesn’t know what they are talking about. Once you start moving around several thousands of dollars (10k?) they will always ask you so they can document it and report it to the IRS/FBI if necessary. In my experience, once you move around enough money to have to go to a banker’s desk verses a teller window they will want to know what’s going on.

If I deposit 10,000 in cash I have to make a declaration where it came from. Cash. If I take out 30,000 in cash there is nothing they ask other then they have me sign a waiver that states they are not liable it I get mugged or spend it on some scam. This is it into or out of my personal account. If it is cash into my business accounts, they never care.

If it is transfers between accounts, I can send millions. There is no light that goes off unless it is out of country or into the country. Domestically they are not following this.
