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.

Yeah, and imagine the community gardens if everyone had free time to help maintain it just a little
Horticulture? That's work.
Yes. I'm saying everyone can come together to work for a common goal. A common goal of a healthier community with fresh food. And they can work on this farm while volunteering thier time since (ideally) nobody would have to have a job
I put in labor for food. That's a job. You're describing a farmer. This is how the majority of humanity has spent the majority of its time until the industrial revolution. If you're not doing your job farming then you're doing your job hunting and/or gathering. These are all jobs humans have been doing before we evolved into homo sapiens.
I'm not saying if you help in the community garden you have to spend all your time being a farmer. The beauty of not being forced to have a job is you are free to do what you want. And if you want to spend that free time gardening, awesome. Maybe you want to spend free time helping out people in another way, which is fine. Thar free time is free to do whatever.
The food situation in this hypothetical situation is covered for everyone. The original question was what happens if nobody has to work anymore. That includes you food being covered. So everyone would have there basic nutritional needs met everyday. But after your tired of eating basic foods, you can go down to the community garden and help grow fresh food for all to eat.
We have a chance to evolve to a species that doesn't need to hunt or gather out of necessity, but we should still try to let those skills help us thrive
I don't want to garden, could I exchange some of my goods for yours? Maybe a standard currency so that it was easy to share that with someone else.
You wouldnt have to garden if that's not what youre good at. You would be able to help out your community in whatever way best suits you.
But in this scenario, UBI doesn't mean nobody works anymore. It just means nobody lives a life where any day they could homeless and without food. But if you want to live a life of luxury you still work. But you don't HAVE to.
