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.

Stop eating meat, it's easy, you change your diet and are healthier.
Honestly stop saying "Your post does more harm to your cause than good because it just makes everyone angry at you"
It's a tired and worn out excuse to avoid saying "I'm lazy and selfish"
Can you provide some product comparisons that include cost and nutritional value? Take into account dietary restrictions as well. Not for me personally but for anyone in general.
No, do your own work if you actually care or are you just trying to "gotcha" me?
The 'gotcha' was going to be: "Great information! This is the kind of post that might actually change someone's mind."
But instead we have condescending posts/comments that assume everyone simply has the means to make a significant change in their life.
Well I suggest you go to one of the many places where people are talking about it. I hesitate to share one with you but try

Great! Now someone reading this thread that just learned that beef is bad has a community they can look into.
I actually very rarely eat red meat myself but it's for dietary reasons. Poultry and fish are my biggest source of protein but I still get a good amount from seeds, beans, etc.
Yes, they're just trying to "gotcha" you. They could spend five seconds and look up that information on the same device they're posting from.
So could the poster, but you certainly are not accusing him of trying to "gotcha" other people.
OP? Seems like they're asking for anecdotes and wanting to discuss it. The "gotcha" commenter seemed to clearly be insincere.
In what way? He was clearly receptive to the link given by the other guy. The fact that you only see what you want to see is the real problem here.
Yes based on the further responses I think I misread the intent. No need to be a jerk about it.
It's easy when you only need to care about your own needs. Try saying that with a family and kids...based on your comment I suspect you can't.
Lead by example, or are you too weak to do that?
You could certainly lead by example by not acting like an insufferable asshole and giving the movement a bad look.
You could choose to stop murdering animals, yet here we are.
I'm pretty sure more animals got killed by you turning off people against the movement than I ever cause by eating beef my whole life. I barely eat beef in the first place, and most of what I eat comes from small scale local farmers. So congrats, I guess, for killing more cows than me.
You're just making shit up to try and justify your stance. It's hilarious.
Sure, whatever you want to believe. You don't seem to care that you're sabotaging your own movement, anyway, so what so I care what you think.
Sabotage, lol, keep on coming up with excuses. Pretend it's not you who's the shitty person. I started my movement when I was a child and didn't even know the word vegan. For a lot of people vegan is a personal thing and the fact there's a community is a bonus, but you wouldn't understand.
Again, sure, whatever your mind wants to make up and believe to maintain your superiority complex. It's just really funny seeing how ass-backwards you are since your efforts seem more damaging to your movement than anything else. It's almost like you don't actually care about reducing beef consumption, only that you get to claim the moral high ground. Well, whatever. It's not worth arguing with your ego, I got better things to do.
If you eat more meat because of what someone said you're clearly deranged.
