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.

These are propaganda coups for the Russians. They're dragging anchors and getting away with it.

Can't EU countries block Russian vessels navigating the Baltic sea?

To access the Baltic sea from the North sea any ship must cross the Danish straits. Same question.

It gives the impression they're winning and makes the EU and NATO look weak.

Eagle S is still being held by the Finnish police.

We should just track all the boats! Easy!

Russian vessels could accidentally sink. I heard these are not in a very good condition.

The only country sinking russian war ships is Ukraine. US betrayed and EU won't do much of anything to really help beyond bare min required to save face.

However, that wouldn't be good for the fragile ecosystem in the Baltic sea.

What about they sink in the port, in Mediterranean, and other places? Only by accident of course.

In Petersburg, blocking the entire access, ideally.

In Ust-Luga...

The EU doesn't want to be at war with Russia.

Russia also should really not want to be at war with the EU, but as you noticed, they don't seem to care much about what they should do. If they fuck around enough, they may find out, but they are betting they won't.

For balance, the last time this happened, when people were calling for nukes on Moscow, Sweden investigated, decided it was not deliberate, and released the ship

Russia shot down a plane with EU citizens on board who died...

EU and NATO tucked their dicks and went back to jerking off in the corner while Russia proceeded with its Ukraine incursions.

EU are pathetic cucks and NATO lost its leader.

Weren't the last few culprits Chinese ships?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 19 hours ago

I hope the ships will be inspected around denmark-sweden and rejected if deemed unseaworthy.

Place sea mines defending the cables. Post maps for civilian ships to keep out of the mine zones. Anyone goes near the cables anyway? Well, you were warned.
