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 includes using AI responses and summaries.

You don't. A 2025 University of Edinburgh study analysed 12 previous UK veterinary investigations, revealing a stark 10-16 year lifespan gap between indoor and outdoor cats. Seventy percent keep indoor cats. Outdoor cats have an average lifespan of 2 to 5 years with indoor cats coming up at 14 to 18 years. That's huge my dude.
Post the paper. You have made an assertion and the burden of proof is on you.
Until you do it’s just bollocks.
Do your own fuckin work. Or better, don't have cats because you'll cut off two thirds of their lifespan. Here's a link to disregard while continuing to be belligerent. Numpty fucks arguing with plain facts, this fuckin place is worse than reddit.

Ok lets break down your link. It cites a source but provides no link to the actual scientific peer reviewed articles.
That fact alone immediately consigns that website to the 'absolute bullshit' bin.
Like I said, you made the assertion and therefore the burden of proof lies on you to provide. It's a simple rule that exists in all scientific and legal proceedings.
The fact you don't understand that simple rule immediately makes me discredit you and anything further you have to say.
You're a condescending fucker ain't ya? Ignorant too. Dunno what your whole fuckin deal is but it's incontrovertible that indoor cats life three to four times as long as outdoor cats on average, literally everywhere there's domestic cats. So enjoy killing cats I guess. Fucking morons arguing with facts, fuckin lemmy.
