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.

OP: One person died! It's a tragedy!
Turns out that's a better mortality rate than outside the event, not much of a tragedy, more of them would have died if they hadn't went to the event!
It's a much higher mortality rate than the average event. More people died at this event then most events.
One event with 70k in attendance lasting a whole week with the same people in attendance all week and they can't leave. There aren't many events that can be compared to it and the fact that it takes place during an event doesn't matter for this comparison as we're trying to see how many of these people would have died if the event hadn't taken place at all.
Heck it could be considered good for the organizers, they should have had many deaths by that point considering the average mortality rate of the people present, they only had one!
I saw a long post about this on tumblr and they were saying something like, one person dies a year on the playa at burning man so we shouldn't feel sorry for the one person who died this year.
So dehumanizing. I was reading that whole post in awe of how fucking empty some people are inside. Like holy shit that's cruel.
It sucks for them but if you're not losing sleep for the tens of thousands that die of starvation each year then I don't know why you should feel bad for someone who intentionally went to a festival in the middle of the desert and died of something (we don't know what) during their trip.
I guess I'm just one of those people then. the worlds problems do tend to keep me up at night.
I legit have a hard time sleeping. Because all I can think is, everything sure does suck and people die for the wrong reasons.
Get over it

Death is a part of life, I get it but I'm not going to be unempathetic piece of jaded trash over it.
