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.

....with the James Web Telescope looking for sources of artificial light to identify potential intelligent life, and the news this week of Perseverance searching for microbial life on Mars it feels like we are getting closer to a major discovery. But what - if anything - would it mean for the religions on Earth if life is proven to exist out there?

Probably not.

By the way, to all who are ridiculing religious folk: the big bang theory was theorised by a Catholic priest, and it only strengthened his faith.

How does that make religion less dumb?

Such a nice man as well. Always surrounded by the altarboys. He would give extra attention to the ones that didn't have stable home lives and no adult in their life to report to the---i mean look after the kid.

Hey remember two years ago when the vaccine came out and Christians said it was satanic and had aborted baby parts floating in it? Good times.

Your first claim is false. Also, teachers are molesting kida disproportionately more than the priests. Should we shut down schools then?

I don't remember any Christian said that. Probably because it happened once in some obscure town in southern US. It was also proven that the vaccine came out without proper testing done and had many side effects that was covered up.

Please remember that everything is not black and white. Try to come to your own conclusions instead of adopting whatever mainstream media tells you to believe.

What that he took care of altarboys? I am sorry would you rather that he didn't take care of them?

Also, teachers are molesting kida disproportionately more than the priests.

You get one lie and have now used it up.

A. You have no idea what the real rate is because schools report while your buddies the RCC conceal.

B. Even if it were true it wouldn't matter. It isnt the crime it is the coverup.

C. Is this really all you got? Like you won't even own up to the criminal acts of your friends and instead try to justify raping children with whataboutism? The standard is good behavior, not other people.

I don’t remember any Christian said that

And if you didn't see it, it didn't happen.

Probably because it happened once in some obscure town in southern US.

Oh now we are speculating. Internet searching broken for you?

It was also proven that the vaccine came out without proper testing done and had many side effects that was covered up.

Yeah you are a Christian. I believe it. Don't worry, I am sure heaven (if it existed which it doesn't) has all the horse dewormer you can ever want. Certified fetus-free.

Please remember that everything is not black and white. Try to come to your own conclusions instead of adopting whatever mainstream media tells you to believe.

Instead I should listen to a shaman in a mandress telling me how crackers are magically turned into his imaginary friend while he collects money used to coverup child rape.

Conspiracy thinking is heavily associated with being untrustworthy, just a fyi.

Jesus, the mental gymnastics here... Fine man, you're right. Have a great day.

[–] afraid_of_zombies 1 points 1 year ago

All facts which don't care about your feelings or magical Jesus crackers.
