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.

Use the self checkout and steal half your food
From big corpo stores. Don't dare mess with mom n pop shops, if there are any left.
Yes please! Please please not from locally owned businesses. It's fucking hard rn!! When you have the ability to, please consider small over big businesses. Treat yourself to that local butcher's bacon one month...or take a class at a local studio. Just anything helps. I can tell you, from a group of us small lil guys, we are trying so hard to NOT pass the buck on to you. We are doing anything we can to keep shit affordable, slowly increasing prices (because we literally have to). Omg I fucking hate it!! My goal was to start paying myself this year...I can't. It's complicated, but what I'm doing is so important to me, I will sacrifice until I can't. Do I have a roof? Food? My meds, am I living safely...yes. Am I thriving? No.
Our community is struggling with Gen Z/Alpha Gen being the biggest culprit of thieft. Might be different else where. But please teach your kids to be respectful of AT LEAST small businesses. Fuck big corps!!! Set them loose at a Walmart, team up with them to raid an Amazon Warehouse...I saw nothing. But not us.
Ps: if someone wealthy out there wants to take pitty on me and my situation...will send feet pics for $$$. (+_+)
Considering the likelihood of them having self checkout, shouldn't be a problem!
No mom and pop shop has self checkout.
Don't do this. I used to work at a magistrate and the local Walmart manager walked in with a stack of theft reports every Friday. We sent out court summons to every one of them, and most of them ended up with a criminal record of theft and a hefty fine. It's not worth it.
Who's got a copier at home?
Or at the library!
What a horrible take, encouraging theft. For shame.
Think of the shareholders! The economy! And the (already fucked) social contract?!
