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.

Lol. Okay. Your risk of getting cancer doubles (or becomes three times) if you drink 1,5l of beer or half a liter of wine daily?! four and a half cans/small bottles of beer each day? who does that? at that point i'd be afraid of becoming an alcoholic.
Oh sweet summer child.
yeah okay. maybe people aren't afraid of becoming an alcoholic. i mainly drink on weekends and maybe on a few weekdays for example when it's summer and warm.
Idk ... I worry about cancer like when i eat beef or order a pizza with salami. Both things that also cause cancer.
But okay, don't drink too much alcohol.
Edit: What i wanted to say is: Don't live your life in constant fear. Plenty things around you cause cancer. And life always ends in death. But i think that shouldn't stop you from enjoying life. You're allowed to occasionally drink or eat beef if you want. The risk is very small, as long as you don't do it excessively.
Half a liter of wine is what? Two cups? There's a lot of functional alcoholics who easily drink a whole bottle at dinner each night.
My parents are perfect examples. 1700 hits and it's cocktail time, have a couple before dinner, wine with dinner, and often after dinner drinks as well.
Nearly every single day.
Let me guess their opinion on weed.
Years ago, you'd have been spot on, they are at least closer to neutral. Now they give my sibling money to buy it.
Might have to do with the the fact my sibling was convicted of conspiracy to distribute, and distribution of cocaine... Weed is a better compromise.
They know I use it for sleep, and sometimes it helps. Clearly not tonight, as it's 0411 and I'm not even tired yet.
Ok? Yes? People can be alcoholics, and that increases your risk of cancer.
