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.

Not here on Lemmy, but I've definitely seen some examples in the last few days that made me a little uncomfortable in other places online.

I can sympathize with the desire to dehumanize him because as an individual he's completely reprehensible, but I just worry that the ease at which the dehumanization is happening that it's allowing fucked up people to slip in anti-semitic messaging among it and that it's helping solidify fucked up right wing bullshit views which are already running rampant.

Sorry if this is the wrong community for this, don't hesitate to remove the post, mods.

Honestly, didn't know he was Jewish.

His own personal identity is strong enough that I don't think the two things are gonna get conflated

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 5 points 5 hours ago

Not one bit.

I am concerned some people are trying to pretend this is at all an actual issue. I know these days antisemitism gets thrown around for all sorts of irrelevant things however.

If we can't criticize a major public figure because of their race, that would be racist.

[–] essell@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

Provided you're not criticising them for their race, I agree.

Which I think is OPs point

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#Religious_beliefs_and_other_interests

Born and raised in a Reform Jewish household, Zuckerberg later identified himself as an atheist. However, he said in 2016 that, "I went through a period where I questioned things, but now I believe religion is very important."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reptilian_humanoid

The reptilian conspiracy theory alleges that shape-shifting reptilian aliens control Earth.

Belief in reptilians sometimes references anti-Semitic texts. For example, the perpetrator of the 2020 Nashville bombing was influenced by the writings of David Icke, who in turn referenced 1903 anti-Semitic fabricated text The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

zuck is a cunt, regardless of his religious leanings

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 9 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

His ethnicity/faith has nothing to do with him being a terrible person. If someone criticized him FOR those reasons then they would be a fascist.

I think the word you're looking for is "racist."

[–] db2@lemmy.world 14 points 10 hours ago

Not what that word means.

I'm sure someone is. I, however, am not.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

I haven't even seen one. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–] db2@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

I heard he had a humanlike penis installed recently.
