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 own a long dagger/short sword. The hilt is in the design of the German eagle with its wings spread out as the hand guard and in the middle of the hand guard is a swastika. The scabbard is also adorned with swastikas on the top, mid section, and bottom.

I don't want to own this piece as I don't want to be seen as a Nazi sympathizer or anything of the sort, but I don't want to sell it to someone who actually is a Nazi sympathizer or something like that.

What do I do with it besides trash it? I don't want to trash it because it's decent quality. It's not historic in any way (which disturbs me to think about) but it's well made.

What can I do with it?

It's not historic, though. If that were the case, I would've 100 % agreed.

All war used uniforms/weapons/equipment I'd say is historic. Even if it was just a helmet used in the civil war, or a soldiers flask in WWI.

It may not be individually a talking point for something historic, but it shows what they used at the time. Especially if you have multiple pieces from the same time period.

And as time goes on, it gets more important. Because as time moves forward, and we have so many advancements in our world, this piece will not advance. Always a visualisation of its time.

Right now I don't think anyone would consider pieces from the afghanistan war to be "historic", but the things we currently see as modern, will be relics in 100 years.

We're barely and I mean BARELY getting to that point of the Viet Nam war pieces seeming as relics.

I think a good rule of thumb is "if the soldiers who would have used the item would have died of old age by now, THEN it's a relic."

Which this certainly is. Which is why I think it should be in a glass case, with a little description on its history.

You misunderstand. OP mentioned in a reply that it's a replica made post Y2K.

So, no, it's not historic. It's neo nazi shit.

[–] Lost_My_Mind 1 points 5 months ago

Oh. Ok, no. I take back everything then. I thought is was war used.

Thats my mistake.
