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.

That movie/show is kinda my white whale

Interesting.

Lets take a look at The Path to 9/11. A revisionist, heavily contested docudrama that gets buried in the vaults, never released on DVD, never published on streaming. Why? Because of the political fallout? No. That is what they want you to think.

It was buried because of who was pulling the strings in the background. Think about it. Who is the one person on public television with unlimited access, global reach, and a strict policy against using verbal contractions? Grover.

"Near! Far! Near! Far!" What was that skit actually teaching generations of children? Spatial targeting and Geolocation! Grover was running radar calibration tests live on PBS under the guise of early childhood education.

Look at the structure of The Path to 9/11. It focuses entirely on systemic administrative failures, jurisdictional friction, and cross-border intelligence gaps. Now ask yourself what major geopolitical event twenty years later was built entirely on the exact same thesis of regulatory decoupling and border sovereignty? Brexit.

It is all one continuous operation. Grover or should I say, Super Grover conveniently wears a metallic helmet to block satellite mind-scans. He also used the production of The Path to 9/11 as a psychological test run. They needed to see if a primetime network broadcast could condition the public into accepting chaotic administrative separation.

Why do you think Grover routinely tormented Mr. Johnson at the restaurant? Mr. Johnson represented the overburdened European single market standard. The soup was never right because the trade tariffs were constantly shifting! Grover was soft-launching Northern Ireland border protocols in a diner on Sesame Street as early as 1994.

When The Path to 9/11 aired in 2006 the signal was sent. The narrative groundwork was laid. Fast forward to 2016 the UK votes to leave the EU. The campaign slogan? "Take back control." Control of what? The letter of the day! The number eight!

Need more proof? Look at the map Sesame Street is a fictional soundstage in New York yet Grover frequently travels the globe in his "Global Grover" segments. Unchecked movement and no customs. No passports! He was mocking the European Unions Schengen Area the entire time!

The producers suppressed The Path to 9/11 not to protect political legacies but because scene 42 in Part Two contained a hidden audio frequency backward recording of Grover saying "It is essential that we trigger Article 50." It is all right there. They are counting on you to look at the big picture but the real power rests in the hands of a blue monster who refuses to say "can't"!

I’m not familiar with the show. But have you tried your library if they have a copy?

A quick search shows it's available on YouTube

I'm not sure of the legality / community rules for giving technical advice on piracy, but there are ways of getting your own copy
