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.

Immediate? no. Rapid, yes.
We have had mass communication since before the internet and those technologies still exist outside the internet. (TV, phones, radio)
The internet is not as fragile as people think, small pockets of internet will come back online independently of each other and will eventually become interconnected again. Maybe a month to get a country up and going and then a couple more months to get continents connected again.
I see an immediate collapse followed by a quick recovery, personally. If the Internet goes down, a lot of other shit goes down too...until we get the old telegraph lines running again.
Those are just really slow internet cables.
Internet is just a really fast messenger pidgeon.

It sometimes can be a better option to move data, since storage density is pretty high. Like if Cletus needed a shitload of mp4s and only had POTS or pigeons lol
I wonder how many would know how to get a radio if it came to it. "Okay, I just need to get a radio from Amazon... Shiiiiit"
Pretty much all cars come with radios..... If not there are many shops that play the radio as in store music.
I've actually gone back to listening to the radio. The music is shit, but I don't have to think about it, and the hosts chatter is surprisingly comforting. Great background noise for working or chores
I stopped listening to the radio cause it’s more ads than music or chatter
if there was radio without ads I'd probably like it
This was the original draw of Sirius Radio. The satellite thing was mostly for broadcasting range (meaning you could reliably get stations regardless of where you were physically located). The whole original point was that you paid a subscription so you didn’t have to listen to ads. You just got continuous radio.
But it’s also worth noting that was the original point of cable TV too. You paid a subscription so you didn’t need to watch commercials. Broadcast TV was supported by ads, but cable was supported by subscribers. But once they had enough users, they started changing their messaging. It shifted from “ad-free TV” to “better quality, more channels”. And once people got used to that (and forgot about the no ads thing) they quietly started slipping commercials into cable TV. Because they realized they could just double-dip, and not running ads was essentially leaving money on the table. But the initial draw of cable was that you didn’t spend ~16 minutes watching commercials every hour.
