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.

I'm writing this message 5 minutes after yours. They have 3 children now.
They have 20 grandkids by now. Lovely.
Aaaand divorced.
Writing this message from the OP and His Ex Memorial Community Center.
Writing from Nepal, I think he reincarnated into my dog.
I just got bitten by him. Ow.
Im writing this message 5 eons after yours. They repopulated the galaxy after the great filter.
Post deleted. Account deleted. It can only mean one thing.
He finally got laid.
Goodbye hero. You will be missed.
Call it a tinfoil hat, but there have been a dozen posts centring around close parent offspring relationships, sharing a bed in a new flat with dad, dad buying an expensive edible flower bouquet for daughter, and many others. All of which seem to garner a lot of attention, then get deleted. These posts have been popping up over the year. Also worth mentioning, these post have soon been deleted when questioned on validity or its romantic connotations.
I had been collecting screenshots but the phone I was using is broken.
Anyway, with the deleted post in question, the response style of op seemed similar to other now deleted posts and I believe these posts are fake and are coming from one person/ai/org.
There are a lot of people and bots alike who use forums like this, Reddit mostly, but also smaller ones, to push narratives, to experiment in pushing narratives, to probe how easy it is to change perceptions among a select group of people about a topic.
It may not even be apparent what the goal is or why people or agencies are going through this much trouble, but there are complicated interconnections that a lot of people are trying to explore every day and set up intersecting narratives for tomorrow.
Not all of them are going to be at all successful, meaningful or even make sense. That's part of it too, to see how people respond to almost random new narratives and topics becoming more prevalent.
Basically, trust no one, believe nothing. Go outside, make friends, kill your social media, be social in real life, exercise and stop spending money. If we all did this the bot-farms and corruption would dry out overnight.

For what it's worth, I was skeptical of it too, but I still gave it a real answer. A lot of times even if I think something is probably fake I still try to answer it genuinely. Unless I'm like >90% sure it's fake.

Pretty sure Dad was using his son as a proxy.
Only deleted the post, not his account? If so, just message him and ask?
I don't remember the account name
Account was also deleted. He probably was too embarrassed
It was fake. Obvious from how the texts were structured. It was also from a brand new account.
I thought Lemmy would be better than reddit for spotting clearly fake shit, but pretty much everyone in the comments bought it hook, line, and sinker.
Your average person is pretty god damn gullible, and while most on Lemmy think they're smarter than the average person, they're not.
Except for me, obviously
Explanation for those of us out of the loop?
There was a post a post in this comm on Tuesday.
Title something like 'should I be embarassed'
Pic was a screenshot of text messages: Dad says, "You're 22, you've never had a girlfriend, I've arranged a date for you on Friday [i.e. the 15th]. She's 27. Pics to follow. No objections." The son was posting asking advice should he go or not.
The post is now deleted. We wanna know how the date went.
I found a federated copy of the post: https://m.lemmy.hostux.net/posts/l.hostux.net/c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world/comments/386931
The post's text is gone and OP's account is deleted, but the username and full discussion are there.
I'm interested in how'd find such a thing as a "federated copy." Do you just go on a federated instance and search for the same post? Or copy the ID number in the URL? And how'd you choose the right instance, luck?
It seems like a bug in this case. Generally if a post is deleted on its home instance it is supposed to tell it to be deleted on others. Maybe they deleted this account instead of deleting the post and this made it act funky.

Sadly it was much more tame: search engines. They've been crawling Lemmy for a couple years now. I remembered just enough to get hits on that post from a couple instances. Luckily one didn't delete it when OP scrapped the original. I'm a bit curious myself why that is, but in any case it gives us a backup of the post.

Lmfao my older brother is about to get into an arranged marriage (as in the consensual type), this is much more tame in comparison.
I didn't click on it and thought it was just a meme
Could be a troll post and he was caught.
I would like a follow up too!
