No Stupid Questions
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.

It's simple: if you don't shove your ways in other people's faces, it's fine. If you do, it's not.
I don't care if you're vegan, but if you throw a BBQ and man the grill but don't cook any meat because it's not what you want, you're inviting criticism.
If a vegan invites you to a bbq that they’re cooking and you show up expecting meat, that’s a you thing.
A book I was reading by Dennis E Taylor changed my version of the golden rule.
Instead we have the three rules:
Iron; do unto those weaker than you whatever you want because they can’t stop you.
Silver; Do unto others as you would have done unto you.
Golden; Do unto others as they would do unto themselves.
If you treat everyone as you want to be treated then you are disregarding what they actually want.
It actually uses this exact example.
If I treat someone as I want to be treated and offer them a steak while knowing they are veggie, then I have offered them nothing at all.
I really really recommend the Bobiverse books, they really take a look at what it means to be human and an individual.
Stupid sounding series name, but absolutely stellar(Lol, yes intended) books!
Woosh
The thought of private vegan BBQs is funny to me since it seems so much more energy inefficient than the meat they don't eat in that meal.
I figure a vegan BBQ would be more things like big ass marinated and smoked portabellos and corn steamed in the husk.
Bbq adds that smoke flavor, unless you’re doing like a gas grill in which case, I guess at least you aren’t heating up the house maybe?
