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 have a side-question: do they actually see the Titanic directly, when they go down there? It seemed from the pictures that there was only a computer screen in that submersible, and no window. Is it all about seeing it on the screen and feeling the moves of the submersible synchronized to it? That experience feels easily replicable from the surface…

I don’t understand why one would think there is no window. I’ve read a couple of comments like that. The thing is called “cyclops”, articles discuss the large porthole dome window, and it’s fairly visible in photos.

[–] ritswd@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

At the time I had only seen pictures from an angle where the window couldn’t be seen, so yeah it didn’t make sense to me at the time. I also had not read anywhere about the Cyclops name before just now, or read articles about the vessel itself. I’m not sure what there is to be puzzled about, we’re similarly not all similarly caught up, we just haven’t all read the same articles.

There was a Washing machine sized glass window Directly at the shitter so you could see out while having the "tasty" smell of fresh pee / poo directly under you.

Aaaah alright so the point does make more sense to me now. Particularly when you describe it so attractively. 😉

It still feels like visiting other people’s graves from a horrid and painful mass death, so definitely not for me even if it was safe and cheap, but at least now I get why some people do it, when, ya know, they don’t know what to do with their money and don’t mind dying.

Forgot to add a picture so for the toilet so yeah here it is you can see the window on the left of the Photo

So yeah... if you needed togo you had vision outside and if you wanted to look outside you literarily needed to sit next or on the toilet

Seems like just the worst design. Imagine you’re in this tiny death trap, finally got to the shipwreck after waiting 2.5 hours, then someone is “oh I gotta use the bathroom” and sits down and closes the curtain.

I’m disappointed, there is no place I have ever seen I would have liked to poop in more than that one.
