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.

This is totally false in practice.

How is this incorrect? In which field? And how do you confirm ~~you~~ the validity of your methodology?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Replication rarely happens and in many cases is outright impossible due to lack of shared code.

Things should be replicable, but that hasn't been the case for a while.

So then the failure of the scientific method is that people aren't following it. That's not so much a problem with the method.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (2 children)

If a method can't practically be followed it's a sign of a bad method, or at least one that needs modification.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

It's not that it can't practically be followed, it is just that everyone running after H-index or whatever the hot thing is now has resulted in a drop in quality.

It can easily be followed. Just not within capitalism.

Edit: But you're correct. And that's what we're seeing. A modified version.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

the correct term you need is 'unachievable', not 'false'. [...] anyway, it depends on the field and type of study.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That's just wordplay to make the problem seem like it's not as big of a problem.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Common standards for language formally used in a specific field/profession/discipline aren't "wordplay" lol

[–] [email protected] -1 points 7 months ago

This isn't a professional forum. Playing the "it's a technical term" game is absolutely wordplay.
