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 remember this site years ago - maybe in 2018 or so. It had like 50 or so references to scriptures and how they could be interpreted to Trump being the Antichrist.

Now if I’m searching for “Donald trump Antichrist” I just get pages and pages of news articles.

Does anyone remember that site and if so could you share the url?

I think this is the one you were looking for. At least, this is the one I recall based on your description and rough publish date.

[–] Lifecoach5000 15 points 1 year ago

Yes that was it. Thank you!

[–] robocall 6 points 1 year ago (4 children)

There are so many adds on that website, I struggle to read it

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What's an ad? lol

If I see an ad on any device on my network, I treat it as a security breach.

[–] Cruxifux 5 points 1 year ago

Hah same. I get unreasonably ragey now if I see or hear an ad anywhere. I internalize it because making a scene at the mall because I heard an ad jingle on the radio is something only crazy people do, but it’s there.

I have google ads blocked, but that doesn't stop them from appearing in search results. If you click on one, you get an error.

My wife got mad at me, because she was saying how she just wants to click on the first result. She's like "I basically have to ignore the first page of google search results." Yes, that is the point. "I don't care if I'm clicking on the thing that Google wants me to click on." Yes, that is the point. "Why even use Google if the results are just ads?" Yes, that is the point.

[–] BallsInTheShredder 4 points 1 year ago

I hate when our wife says things like that

[–] Smokeydope 1 points 1 year ago

Try out a searxng instance like https://paulgo.io its a meta search engine that acts as a middle man between you and google (and others) that queries the results and scrapes off all the ads and tracking crap without google ever touching your connection.

Shout out to adguard's DNS, I don't get ads even on ~~Jerboa~~ Connect, which unlike Jerboa uses its own web browser instead of hitching a ride on my default (Firefox)

I thought I put ublock origin on my Firefox. I listened to the lemmards and switched from Chrome recently. Still learning.

[–] QuarterSwede 1 points 1 year ago

Well that was an interesting read.

So I wasn’t the only one who suspects trump being the Antichrist?

I was convinced when I saw that massive golden Statue the evangelicals created of him…

[–] MudMan@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can't imagine a bigger repudiation of Christianity than thinking that idiot is somehow the final boss.

I mean, sure, if he gets elected again he could very well end the world, or at least democracy, but it'd be in a Homer Simpson "D'oh" kinda way, not in an evil, cosmic plan kind of way.

[–] Narrrz@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

"never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by stupidity"

he might not be the antichrist we expect, but he's certainly the one we deserve.

Stop googling! Try your search 'Donald trump Antichrist' at duckduckgo. The link at my first DDG result pointed out this article: https://hartmannreport.com/p/is-donald-trump-the-antichrist

What's weird to me is that people think that a 2000-year-old story of mixed historicity (a story which fell into the control of the Romans and their church ... and 2000 years later the 'Dead Sea Scrolls' fell into the hands of scholars who failed to publish for decades) ... that has been translated and interpreted and re-interpreted by anyone/everyone that whole time ... can be relied on for any clues at all. The prophesy may have already happened, or simply be a horror story to scare children.

[–] gedaliyah 3 points 1 year ago

You're so close. Why do you assume people living thousands of years ago wrote a book that would predict the future at all?

[–] Lifecoach5000 11 points 1 year ago

That’s weird. Someone else already commented with the website earlier and I replied to thank them but now both of those comments are gone. Strange! I wish I could remember who replied earlier stating something along the line of they found it via search with some Reddit results.

Dear original replier, if you see this please respond to let me know I’m not going crazy lol

Revelations 13:5 has to be there somewhere, although Trump went full term
