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.

Wait until AI/AGI take over. Which is the most silent part of it all. It’s all “nice and great”, supposedly “making our lives easier”, when in fact it will decimate most of the population’s lives. It’s the part that no one ever talks about. You think it’s bad now? Wait until AI takes over everything, and I mean everything to where millions are left without a job. Yes this tech might be “innovating” and make our “lives easier” at the expense of what? The question is what are people going to do when AI takes over? How are we going to even afford to live. What happens to the our basic provision for sustainability to live life. That’s the quiet part that everyone wants to ignore and never ever has an answer for it. It’s absolutely vile and disgusting, cuz no one is looking at the dire ramifications of such deadly technology that threatens the very fabric of our lives and future generations to come.
A guy put it very well. His wife wanted kids, and the guy did some in depth into researching AI… he told his wife he didn’t want any kids because he knew that his kids wouldn’t even have a job. And he is correct in that statement. The kids that are born now, will they even have jobs? What will their future look like?
gen z is pretty much suffering from that, cant say the same for gen alpha when they come of age, what they going to do join the military? milleneals are bearing the brunt of it now.
