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.

MODERATORS
The ROC didn't become a democracy until the 1990s.
Yeah, that's basically what I'm saying. However, you can say this about any country. I think the UK would have had a better future if we got "chaos with Ed Milliband"
You're allowed to, it's fine. You shouldn't need to disclaimer this.
The Chinese still do that, the ones that came into wealth are still alive. I think that's the same with any recently developed country. The house I stayed in China was very cluttered but also very clean. Furniture was kind of haphazard and the bathroom was basic. But their tvs and fridges were pretty modern. I think it's just they don't know the potential, but this family certainly could have afforded it.
What year was this? Genuinely curious. I saw some underdeveloped villages there from the windows of trains and manual farm labourers. My dad also used to have a communal neighbourhood bathroom in the UK when he was younger in the 1970s. Someone else I was talking to was recalling collecting water from the well.
Yeah fair, I think if you put China how it is now, ten years ago (accounting for the cultural revolution) it wouldn't have set it back. Also the one child policy will have extremely concerning implications in a few years
China is such a strange country. The streets are extremely clean minus the dust, the place I was staying had an advanced metro system nearby and endless huge apartments in the area, something I had never seen or experienced ever before. But the water wasn't running like 30% of the time and even when it was, it was best not to drink it and get it from a machine outside. You're Chinese so I cannot speak in a position over you, but I do find a lot of westerners seem to underestimate it. And they think we're behind because there is one bus every thirty minutes to the somewhat big city which is half the side of the centre of their district.
