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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Not the Internet but I was taught a lot of bullshit about the native Americans willingly giving up land to the settlers and all that instead of, y'know, the massive attempted genocidal slaughter that took place.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 2 points 38 minutes ago

I presume that might be a regional thing, because I was taught in 8th grade US history class about some of the atrocious things we did to the natives. And to a lesser extent about what my state did specifically in the history class for my specific state.

I hesitate to post both of these, because I don't wanna get into conspiracy stuff. But both are not well known, and I hear a lot it keeps getting deleted.

Many questions about the case of: Gabriela Rico Jiménez

Warning: pretty dark rabbit hole

And quite a lot of stuff pointing towards Ghislaine Maxwell having been a reddit supermod: https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/r45a5n/here_is_the_evidence_that_reddit_user_maxwellhill/

Well that Maxwell one is just fascinating. Highly convincing too.

If it hasn't already, that post and its links need to be archived.

The top secret US government program to subvert hardware and software for all countries in the world using an advanced trusting trust attack

[–] catbum@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Bruh, holy shit. I literally can't find anything that's not related to a game about that on a DDG search, even switching to different VPN countries. I did find a related MIT project and a single reference to a "still very classified" DOD project from 1958 I found in a buried log website, which pretty much sounds like what you said. Assuming this all isn't just game lore, wtf??? Not even a wiki page or stub?

Yeah, that's bad. Is it even possible to learn more?

[–] adhd_traco@piefed.social 4 points 7 hours ago

LOL pretty much went the same path as you. Tried some other search engines (don't have a searxng one though). And it's only that IRC log. So, personally couldn't find any evidence. But also doesn't seem that important, since the concept appears to be the most important part.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 6 points 12 hours ago

given what is out there its scary as shit to think of what is so bad they would want to hide it. I mean epstein obviously.

Knowledge in general, they just call that "copyright infringement"
