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.

What? I have no idea what any of that is. I was thinking of Babylon 5.
OK so like. Yes that is literally the question here. Are you gonna give us the slightly cooled by the passage of time B5 hot take or...?
I'll give one. Despite Sheridan and Delenn giving that speech about rejecting the Shadows and Vorlons and making their own way, the Vorlons won. The Army of Light, the Rangers, and the Interstellar Alliance are all in line with Vorlon philosophy, they run on Vorlon tech, most members were Vorlon allies, and they still oppose former Shadow allies and destroy Shadow tech when they find it.
Another is that the Shadows should have had their own Kosh, a character who was still comitted to the original goal and hadn't succumbed to motive decay. Shadows believe in strength through adversity, so one setting up obstacles with the expectation that the cast would overcome them and grow stronger cpuld have been interesting.
Your post made me realize B5 is nowhere near dead. It's just resting. Lensman series anyone?
Unfortunately most of the main cast is though.
Here's a take on Lensman - we need more anime versions. Oh, and Jade in DC used to be the best version of a Second Stage Lensman in any media (pity about her brother tho).
yeah I'm slowly working my way through B5 while doing other stuff on my days off. Never heard of the lensman series but I did enjoy the first ringworld book!
I’ve always thought John Sheridan was a super meh character. I think Bruce Boxleitner did a decent job but his lines were often super cheesy IMO.
