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.

So we need to find a perfect site, of which there aren't many, with some miraculously unbothered or even welcoming citizens and then built a facility to reinforce the natural defenses and keep our fingers crossed that nothing unforeseen happens? Got it.
Germany decided to phase out nuclear power plants and still hasn't found a final resting place for all the waste. Because nobody wants it in their backyard. I think it's not a easy as you think.
Fukushima Dai-ichi is next to the ocean and still couldn't keep the cooling chain up. They said 30m waves wouldn't happen. They thought they thought of everything. These risk assessments are too hubristic and the consequences when they're wrong too catastrophic. Climate change will bring more torrential rain on arid soil. More landslides. Droughts bring more fires. What we thought was a given in the past may very quickly turn out to be ephemeral. This river won't stop and then somebody upstream builds a dam. Or a surprise lahar happens. Couldn't happen like that 30m tsunami, right? We thought a big sarcophagus around a blown up reactor would give us peace of mind and then some asshole started a war or attrition in the area. You. Cannot. Plan. For. Everything.
Stop gap means you can still use it. I'm not in favor but I've repeatedly admitted it's better than fossil energy generation. I'd just rather we get out of it as fast as possible. Why don't we take the time and energy of finding these new, fabled, riskless disposal site with the kind people who dgaf, built out extra defenses, label it in such a way that future inhabitants don't unearth it and get sick, and just cover everything in solar panels? Until we have better batteries you're still allowed to split atoms to fill gaps renewables leave because god forbid we tolerate a brownout to slow this climate crisis! I'm not in favor of building new gas power plants like they're doing to fuel this so-called-AI psychosis. Split the atom if you cannot do something better. But really, do better.
If you want to shoot back one more time, I'll read it but probably won't reply;)
