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.

She has close ties with Pedo Diddler (P. Diddy) and when he got arrested she took off to Europe out of fear of being involved trying to claim it was because of Trump. She is abusive and treats staff like crap.
oh yea that was extremely suspicious of her, to immediately flee the country right after diddy got caught.
This is incredibly hard to believe. Do you have sources for these claims?
Not OP: check out the cancellation section
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellen_DeGeneres
I could have been more clear. I am already familiar with the "treated staff poorly" allegations. It's this wild one about she moved to Europe to escape her connections to Diddy that doesn't ring true.
Can you not conduct a search? It was a pretty big deal, numerous staff or former staff comments, it basically led to her calling it early.
You claim something, you present sources. That's how it goes.
Meh, not really. In my view it's more like: you read something, you doubt it, you investigate.
You spread it: you back it up with facts.
I figured the search would reveal a ton of trashy celebrity rag stories, and it would take some time to see whether more reliable news stories would support any such contentions. Since the original commenter believed the allegations, perhaps that person already had some strong sources in mind.
The ridiculous part of this is that Ellen would have fled to Europe to avoid prosecution or connection to sex trafficking by P. Diddy. I am already aware of the "treated staff poorly" allegations, and they are all over this thread.
Going and researching other people's ridiculous claims is often a waste of time. Do I need to research whether NASA actually went to the moon or if there is an ice wall at Antarctica that holds the oceans in?
I just wasted 5 minutes looking at the allegations about Ellen fleeing to Europe, and it looks like they may have been started by Elon Musk. Should I also investigate whether a diver helping rescue a trapped soccer team in Thailand is a pedophile or Barrack Obama's birth certificate?
You should always check sources and keep them to later recheck validity before spreading any info around. Cross check it with 5 real sources to be sure.
It's no one else's job to do your home work for you.
You understand that this is social media, right? It's not a junior midterm paper.
You got a bunch of questions? It would have been faster to type them into Google than it took to berate and lecture the person who bothered to answer your stupid question.
Or just block you. Less of our time and energy wasted.
Spreading misinformation isn't you doing anyone a favor. It's just you being a shit stirrer. No one owes you their energy.
Bye Sheila.
Oh, ew. Fuck her.
