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.

my bet is: as long as we need to completely transition to renewable transport, because everything we eat, build and wear needs to be transported and most of us don't work from home or study from home:

oil prices are high because that's what putin can use as leverage against the developed world after his failed annexation of Ukraine and it's clear he'd rather die than accept Ukraine is an independent country. Global warming makes a transition to renewable energy inescapable and even if putin died today and Russia opened the taps again, it would only slow down the transition.

But holy shit, it's gonna be hard and expensive, it's going to take decades and every populist politician of both left and right is going to fight it. My bet is 2 decades.

What do you think?

For inflation rates over 4%? In the US, likely no more than another year or three. There were a ton of inflationary pressures between COVID handouts, the Russian invasion of Ukraine curtailing wheat and oil exports, and Yemen attacking global shipping. The first is over already, the second is being worked around, and the third is not going to last a huge amount of time.

For Turkey, good luck to them and their hyperinflation. They managed their economy like shit.

For Germany, probably going to be longer, they were too tied to Russian gas and they were forced to sign expensive long-term contracts to secure LNG. Though, they are buying increasing amounts of nuclear power from France, which is easing their LNG requirements.

For Russia, probably as long as the sanctions last. So as long as they continue their invasion of Ukraine.

For everyone else? No clue, I'm not familiar enough with their monetary and political processes.
