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.

I have never taken a selfie in my entire life. The feature is entirely pointless for me. Are there any smartphones that don't have a front facing camera?

yea, but you're still paying for it

You're not. You're getting it as a free bonus to the personal pocket computer that also has all the phone functions and some more.

I'd rather not have it at all tbh.

Not sure why it bothers you so much. Any benefit you'd have by not having it is practically negated by your limited choices for phones.

Like I said, it's a feature I never use. The selfie camera is completely pointless for me and I'd rather not have it.

This is like saying you don't want an apartment/house with a bathtub because you don't take baths. Most people choose based on features they want regardless if it has one feature they won't use. It's just not generally worth the tradeoff of limiting your options when it's such a common feature. If you absolutely can't use a phone with a front facing camera though, then good luck with your search (genuine, not sarcastic).

I think it's more like putting selfie cameras in computer monitors. That would also be a completely useless feature for me.

Yep, it's so hard to find a laptop without a camera too.

Put a sticker on it and pretend it does not exist.

Some banking apps are asking for live-selfies for authentication, so it's not entirely useless.
