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.

I 100% don't regret this guy's death but it does make me uncomfortable when people claim anyone "deserves death". This sentiment is exactly why we have capital punishment and why uncountable numbers of innocent or undeserving accused persons were killed, sometimes cruelly, and often by a government.
I don't think anyone is perfect enough to decide who deserves death, except maybe in extreme cases where the individual is 100% sure of extreme harm. For example if someone came into my house and killed my loved one, I think it's 100% justified to make that decision and kill that murderer.
The year is 1940. You're a French soldier. You're waiting just outside Paris for the Nazis to come. When they arrive, will you use your gun to try to kill them?
Well I hope so.. because not only does that seem to fit the types of exceptions I mentioned, I'm also a soldier in this scenario.
Seems you missed my point entirely.
The year is 2024. Brian Thompson has doubled the number of healthcare claims denied by insurance since he became CEO of UnitedHealthcare. Thousands of people have died as a result of his personal, individual actions. Will you use your gun to try and kill him?
