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.

MODERATORS
I don't actively oppose human rights; I just don't think they work as an idea or a social institution. They don't protect people from harm in any real meaningful capacity, only love and connection does, and I support stuff that actually does demonstrably protect people.
It really is better to just be one of the populars so no one wants to hurt you. And to have connections so everyone else is dependent on you in some capacity, so people actively suffer if they do try to hurt you.
Human rights cannot and never have accomplished either of those for anyone. We're not a more peaceful world because of human rights; the same tragedies they were supposed to prevent prevailed and now fascism is taking over the world, and in the next decade we're going to have the biggest genocides the world has ever seen.
And those same human rights are invoked to tie victims' hands behind their backs whenever they try to fight back. They're accused of violating their perpetrator's human rights and of being equivalent to their oppressor by trying to avenge themselves or get rid of them or even just hold them accountable.
Human rights are a meaningless, unhelpful joke.
I don't even know how to respond to this but I'm fascinated by it
If only you meant that in an amicable way.
I do, actually. Didn't translate well over text.
Never talked to a shroom-head before?
