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.

You claimed specifically that Israel has nuclear weapons pointed at America, but when I asked you about it you only linked me an article that said that they have nuclear weapons. Considering how far away they are, "pointed at America" isn't really plausible even if they wanted to, and why would they want to anyway?
Might as well claim that the US has nuclear weapons pointed at Israel, which is probably much closer to the truth.
In no way am I validating or invalidating his point of "pointed at America" but in general here if anyone launches a nuke at anyone, EVERYONE in the flight path of assumes it's coming at them. It's how are extremely shitty, scary system "works".
Check out the movie "A House of Dynamite". It's supposed to be pretty closely based on a What If and how decisions are supposed to be made.
I have no reason to believe that Israel even has the ability to hit a target that is anywhere near the US, so the US cannot be in the flight path of whatever target they hit with missiles. And who would they even want to hit where the US is on a potential flight path? Canada and Mexico?
Either way, if that's our standard for "Israel bad because nuclear weapons", every other nuclear power is an asshole to Israel, too, including the US.
Israel is a parasite on America
Ah yes, a reasonable and well-thought out reply to my comment.
