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.

Trans are bullied and socially ostrichized irl, so they tend to be terminally online. A lot of trans are also coders. They manage to find themselves in to pretty much every obscure techy social space online, they don't got anything else going on irl.

ostrichized

I just want to take a moment off topic to say how much I love this new word (malaprop?).

The word you were hoping for is 'ostracized', but ostrichized is a fun enough mental image that it should be its own word too.

that'd be pretty wicked if they could turn into ostriches too

One thing at a time please.

Now I’m imagining a mad scientist with a ray gun that “ostrichizes” people who annoy them.

Screwed up coffee order? ZAP! The barista gets turned into an ostrich. Annoying, pushy person at the door handing out pamphlets? ZAP! Try saving souls as an ostrich. Have a cart overflowing with groceries in the “Ten Items or Less” line? ZAP! Ostrich.

Turning people into Ostriches is secretly the gay agenda

That’s the significance of rainbows. The ostrich beam is multicolored.

Megamind: "Lol get ostriched idiot"

I was thinking of could be a great way to describe self ostracism to ignore problems, like the putting your head in the sand ostrich trope.

Your scenario is more fun, an ostrich raygun should be a weapon in a video game like Saints Row or something.
