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.

Does the UK still meet the requirements of joining?
One of the requirements is that all members vote for admission. Spain may not want to vote in favour because of the Gibraltar situation. I'm assuming Ireland won't reignite the whole civil war for Northern Ireland situation, but who knows. The UK pissed off a lot of countries during Brexit.
Just having money isn't enough to be admitted, either. There are also strict requirements about democratic status and transparency/corruption. Ironically, a lot of those requirements were put in place by eurosceptic politicians.
With a national debt far exceeding the 60% limit the Maastricht Treaty describes and inflation across Europe far exceeding the max of 1.5%, I think it's very possible that the EU would demand financial reforms despite the UK's high GDP.
Just having money is not enough. I'm sure the UK could make it back in, but it'll require more than just some token paperwork, and the UK would lose all of the privileges and exemptions it had before.
Ha, no way. You wish. The only thing England is top 10 at is smelling their own farts.
Currently ranked 6th. Your an idiot.
You’re*
Psh 6th at eating tea and crumpets maybe, you dumb limeys can’t even spell words right while insulting people.
Calm down Clapistani Chungus, and you also don't eat tea, thats a drink, you spakker. I'm also still correct about the UK economy being sixth largest.
Wrong, California is 6th largest.
California isn't a country.
Wow that’s even more sad for you guys in your funny little hats, you got beat out by one state.
