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.

There are no divine guard rails and Trump is merely a symptom of a diseased country....diseased west internationally frankly. Looks like nothing will be done until maybe a critical mass of you have nothing to lose. Too comfortable and selfish for now, waiting for invisible heroes who will never arrive to do the hard stuff for you. Or not. Could end up like Russia for centuries.

Laws written are only applied to the out group, not the in group under nazi regime. The in group shrinks over time.

I think Canada following you idiots into hell, just on a delayed timer. We have the same situation where we're fucked the minute we elect our own nazi party. Very nearly did last election. Nobody should trust us long term. Handing ourselves to USA on a silver platter is in the cards IMO.

I know this is small potatoes compared to everything going on with “WWIII: the Nazis return” but it irks me to no end how on top of trump saying he’s taking Canada and Greenland he’s also says “51st state”

So Canada in its entirety will be 1 state? And I assume all of Greenland will be a 52 state?

Canada is a diverse place with regions and cultures… but lump them all into a single state. Sure. How many electoral college votes does Canada get?

I don’t know much about Greenland but I’m sure the same applies to them.

How is that flag going to look? Actually that last one’s a stupid question it’ll just be trumps face.

Disclaimer I'm not responding as if I think I'm the arbiter of truth it's just for "fun" thought experiments.

I think their current focus is with Alberta and funding the fringe separatist movement there with the support and rigging of the system traitor Smith and the Wildrose faction of the worst political party merger since the CPC federally. Fuck you, Jason Kenney. Their polling is trending down, but idk we got years of suffering to go to see if NDP can eek out a win with a centrist NDP as it will be under Nenshi. It hinges on Calgary, gods save us all for that's always a let down historically.

Since Pierre lost that is. Reset the 4 year timer and they'll try again federally. If they (Republicans, their media empire Carney does nothing about, or their dark money) get Alberta to separate then IMO USA will annex it. 51st state talk is mostly just inflammatory words meant to catch headlines, for now. I mean these are meth head nazis so there's a lot of winging it and reactionary decisions.

As an aside, fascist parties in U.K., Germany, and France all are polling high as well. Don't be surprised if all this tough talk bravado from Europe craters into the ground if those dipshits vote Nazi and fracture Europe before we get the chance to fuck our own ass here at home.

Something stinky going on in Quebec too but I'm not very knowledgable about that situation yet.

So Canada in its entirety will be 1 state? And I assume all of Greenland will be a 52 state?

I think the provinces would just name swap to states instead of province/territory, but that's not based on anything other than not taking them so literally.

How many electoral college votes does Canada get?

Zero is my bet. Their other auxilery nations like Puerto Rico for example. Except they probably aren't going to have legitimate elections ever again anyways if they don't outright just cancel them entirely. They wouldn"t want us voting Democrat.

I don’t know much about Greenland but I’m sure the same applies to them.

Well it's only 58,000 population minus whoever they kill invading theoretically so idk.

How is that flag going to look? Actually that last one’s a stupid question it’ll just be trumps face.

Something like theirs perhaps.
