No Stupid Questions
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 everyone you disagree with is a "transphobe". In fact, I don't think there's a single person in the world who has an "intense and overwhelming fear" of trans people. Most just want them to stay out of the opposite sex's spaces.
Have you stopped to investigate why this might be? Darts has a very obvious reason - males have, on average, significantly better hand-eye co-ordination than females. That's pretty much the biggest component of darts.
As for chess, again - have you looked it up? Why do you think there are so many more chess grand masters who are male than female? You know how trans advocates are always saying things like "trans women have the brain makeup and chemistry of a female!"? Well that is essentially saying that males and females have different brains and as such are better and worse at different scenarios that use their brain. Isn't it possible that what makes people good at chess is "better" in males?
I know you're not going to read it. But what the hell.

Many differences in performance have more to do with culture. There are smaller talent pools of women for previously male dominated sports because fewer women are interested/supported/encouraged to get into them.
Just a hunch, you're cis aren't you?
Wow good one sherlock! Just like 99.9% of the worlds population, yes, my "gender identity" is the same as my sex. Well it would be if I had a "gender identity".
Yeah you don't sound like a transphobe at all. Is there any other discrimination that you're incapable of experiencing for yourself that you also don't think exists?
Do you actually think people are scared of trans people?
