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.

office space

[–] EndOfLine 108 points 4 days ago (1 children)
  • Office Space
  • Clerks
  • 9 to 5

More anti establishment than anti-work, but still worth mentioning:

  • Ferris Bueller's Day Off
  • Fight Club
  • Falling Down
  • They Live

To list one no one else has mentioned yet: Sorry To Bother You

I’ll give you three guesses why Disney has never greenlit a sequel to A BUG’S LIFE, and the first two guesses don’t count.

That's more anti-finance than anti-work.

They run a business making soap, after all.

[–] FourPacketsOfPeanuts 33 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

They work only to bring chaos.. "it was beautiful, we were selling rich women their own fat asses back to them". Tyler works in a restaurant to piss in the soup. Works in a cinema so that kids see single slices of hardcore porn. The narrator bleeds all over himself to blackmail his boss into paying him to 'work' from home and do nothing.

They didn't just shun work they were actively trying to destroy it.

Falling down, since office space has been mentioned already.

Edit: nvm falling down was already mentioned.

Metropolis (1927)

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod 26 points 4 days ago (2 children)

This thread doesn't have enough Office Space so I'm gonna say Office Space

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 days ago (2 children)

You know what I'd do if I was rich? Two "Office Space" comments at the same time, man

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod 14 points 4 days ago

One of the coolest things I’ve ever heard about Office Space is that Mike Judge had a alternate ending where when we check in at Peter at the end of the movie and his new construction boss is just another Lumburg. Which really hit home with the fact that it’s not the office jobs that sucks, all jobs suck.

These are a bit of a stretch...

Joe Vs. the Volcano

Brazil

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Joe Vs. The Volcano is among my favorite movies ever made.

“I know he can GET the job, but can he DO the job! … I’m not arguing that with you!”

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Mr Waturi is the unsung hero of that film. As a supporting actor, he nailed the tone of the film by personifying the rank stupidity of corporate thinking.

He can definitely do the job.

[–] NeoNachtwaechter 21 points 4 days ago

Modern Times (with Charlie Chaplin)

Soylent Green

Matrix

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 days ago
  • Ferris Bueller's Day Off
  • Hackers
[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Well, since nobody has mentioned office space yet..

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

But not enough.

Also, I suggest Office Space.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Anything you watch instead of doing you job.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Go to work? Fuck that, I'm watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy instead.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

You mean I'm watching the 12 hours of BTS (again).

They Live, Office Space, Fight Club, maybe big Lebowski

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, well, you know... That's just, like, your opinion, man.

Office space

[–] Thwompthwomp 5 points 4 days ago

Salt of the Earth

It’s more pro-labor and unions than anti-work, but is absolutely amazing, and there’s a cool story about production getting banned and the actors in the movie are the actual people from the incident. Totally worth watching.

[–] masquenox 4 points 3 days ago

Sorry To bother You is probably the best one I've ever seen - definitely the best one made this centiry.

I don't know why so many people are mentioning Fight Club. It's a pretty silly movie.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)
[–] Tyfud 2 points 3 days ago

Glad someone mentioned this gem

[–] IMNOTCRAZYINSTITUTION 5 points 4 days ago

the first spongebob movie

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Anything in the Alien universe. Weyland-yutami do not take proper care of their employees.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

I'm not going to single out a movie, but 1999 had the best slate of "fuck you, cubicle" movies ever.

Bartleby for sure
