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.

People fuck themselves up with the drink. No one should be drinking 4-5 in a day.
..beers? 4-5 beers over the course of a night is fine. Especially if you're a larger person. I'm a pretty big dude and unless I'm shotgunning them I can drink 2-3 beers and barely be tipsy.
I don't even drink often, either.
Now if it's every night or something there might be an issue.
No, that's not even a scary amount. 4-5 drinks is just the first 2-3 hours of a Sunday BBQ.
That's literally like a heroin user bragging abt how much heroin they do but this isn't seen as harmful for some reason
It's literally not. Yes, any amount of alcohol has health effects, but equating a half-dozen beers with heroin is total lunacy. It's absolutely nowhere near as harmful as literally heroin.
Alcohol is more harmful than heroin whenever social damage is included
Youre getting downvote but I'm not sure you are wrong... Alcoholics are far more likely to hurt or abuse another person than a heroin user, where usually the worst a heroin user will do is steal for money to afford heroin. Heroin users mostly abuse themselves. Alcoholics abuse themselves and those close to them.
Source: now sober alcoholic who also dabbled in opiates for a year. 8 years sober this March.
Yep, exactly. They've done actual studies on it. I wouldn't state a point so surely unless I was actually sure of it.
I think a lot of people just don't want to confront the truths about the harm of alcohol. Easier to downvote and ignore lol. I'm glad I quit drinking, it almost killed me I was in an awful place and alcohol only made it worse. Thankfully weed is super legal where I live now so I can unwind with that, a far less harmful substance.
I don't even drink anymore. The amounts that are being talked about here aren't concerning. If you're equating alcohol with opioids, then you have no idea what you're talking about at all.
He's not equating them to each other he's simply comparing the harm they cause to society.......
Alcohol is more damaging than heroin when social damage is included. My opinion is based on the newest research and scientific consensus on this topic.
