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 don't think Trump will spend a day in prison. Simply because they don't want to set a precedent, that a u.s. president can go to jail.
Worst that might happen, is that he's barred from running again.
Wouldn’t that be a good precedent? Meaning that no one, no matter the position or how rich he is is above the law.
You would think. The reasoning is that you don't want presidents being afraid of political opponents going after them for decisions they making while they're president. Not that I agree with that logic. Trump needs to be made an example of.
Wouldn't he have to be convicted of something in order to be barred? What criteria other than a conviction in a court of law could be used to disqualify him?
State cases will definitely put him in jail. They don't care about any of the political nonsense and honestly I'm not seeing the DoJ backing down either.
Honestly if they dont put him away i think it will only embolden his group to make them feel they all are untouchable.
He will be found guilty and the given a presidential pardon by Joe Biden. Joe will make him verbally concede the election in return, maybe more.
You inhaled something but it wasn't vegetables
Relax buddy it's just a silly prediction :) I'm sure if a year ago I told you what was going to happen one years time, the reactions would be similar.
Nixon was pardoned and it's the only comparable event in history, so it's plausible. If there isn't a remind me bot on Lemmy I'll be sad.... either way:
!Remindme one year "did Biden have Trump concede the 2020 election results?"
Sorry that seems... implausible.
