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.

Is it an isolated event or does it have any correlation with anything else?

Because none of you fuckers can drive a sharp stick up a duck's ass.

Really?

I always think the road ragers are the ones that can’t actually drive. They drive like idiots then lose their shit when called out on it or if they put themselves in a bad situation.

They always seem to think they’re the best drivers on the road though 🤔

I dunno. I lost my shit on someone just today who literally pulled into my lane (coming toward me) to skip the line to turn. Literally just pulled out in front of me from an oncoming lane and kept coming until I stopped and leaned on the horn flashing my lights. There was nowhere for me to go. This type of thing has killed people in the past. Especially in poor visibility. There was literally no reason to do what this person did and I hadn't done anything wrong. There was no where for me to pull off to even avoid the collision if this person kept coming.

Perhaps you're correct about some road ragers, but generally I don't get angry until something gets dangerous for me because someone else is being unreasonable and potentially harmful.

Everyone thinks they're the best driver on the road. That's statistically proven. But generally people who drive more often or are seasoned drivers become complacent over time. Meaning almost no one is as good a driver as they think. Entitlement/ego, and distracted driving also play a big role and I'm way more likely to believe most road rage incidents are actually two egos coming to a head after both people are at fault than just one reckless driver vs someone else who wasn't in any way in the wrong.
