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.

We already implant subdermal RFID chips in animals and people. You just put the chip inside a non-biologically reactive substance and it's fine.
The bigger problem is scanning distance. You're limited to only a dozen meters or so if you're not using an active RFID with battery. ~100 meters with a battery but then you have to change the battery every now and then.
I’ve had a toll pass device for 10 years. It gets scanned at 80mph or more and hasn’t needed a new battery yet. The newest models are the size of a credit card.
Yeah but radio doesn't like meat shields being in the way. The frequencies normally used in RFID only penetrate a few cm into people.
I guess we could always advocate for RFID tattoos if we really wanted to get this going.
They're also probably broadcasting at powers not safe for humans to constantly be around, only for the 1/10th of a second you pass under.
Yeah, it goes through just about any material. I used to keep one under my seat on my motorcycle. So it would scan through me, the rubber/foam/whatever seat and into the metal box under my ass. That was 10+ years ago in the Orlando area, I can't imagine they have gotten less accurate
I just got one that's literally a sticker stuck to the inside of my windshield
