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.

Hi there, I'm a registered nurse in Phoenix, Arizona and I'm seriously considering moving abroad because this country is driving me insane for a lot of reasons. I was considering moving to Israel since I'm Jewish and I've heard they have a better healthcare system there and pay nurses well but this war has made me not really consider that anymore, so I'm open to suggestions. Thanks

Nz is more tolerant to different cultures at least in the 3 big cities, Australia offers a higher pay and lower living costs. However as a American they will not see you as much as an outsider. Crimes in NZ are the cost of living.

Interesting, I have heard AUS has like the highest quality of life on Earth so that does make it somewhat appealing. That and the good weather.

Australia also has yearly floods, wildfires or tornadoes depending on the area. And the wildlife will try to kill you.

As an Aussie, I can say the trope of "everything wants you dead" is highly overhyped. I've seen three venomous snakes in the wild in my life (and I've mostly lived in rural areas) and there's a couple of venomous spiders, but none that will kill you (unless you're very young, very old, or very sick). Blue-ringed octopuses, crocodiles and sharks exist, but rarely cause human deaths. You know what we don't have? Bears. Alligators. Cougars. Wolves. Very few carnivores trying to eat humans here, it's mostly creatures with excellent self-defense mechanisms.

Because they all got killed by box jellyfish, venomous spiders or drop bears!

[–] Ixoid@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

Damn I forgot about the dropbears. Keep your wits about you and you'll usually be OK, plus we teach kids to stay in pairs if they're passing through a eucalyptus area.

Well, okay true lol
