The moderator told me questions like this aren’t stupid and they’re the point of this community.

I want an answer.

        3 or 54 exactly, and nothing in between. Also, you are taking all of this waaay too seriously. Go touch some grass.

          What species of grass do you think will produce the most acceptable results should I touch it? Do you think Kentucky bluegrass is the best?

          I hear what you’re saying, my point is invalid because I haven’t touched grass, so I need you to answer this question.

            I need to know your location to know what grass is ecologically appropriate to grow there. Wouldn’t want you growing an invasive species. Also need to know the layout of your water, soil, proximity to water, amount of shade, etc. Would be easiest for you to just provide your address so I can find the best grass location near you.

            There is also the option to just not interact with things you don’t like on the internet. You can just not respond. You can block people that say things you don’t like. You can also make your own community that you moderate how you want to. Why are you demanding that someone else do work that you’re unwilling to do yourself?

            Or you can go touch grass. If you find google maps data collection too invasive to find a local park with you can also try duckduckgo.

    That depends on whether the angels in question are bosons or fermions—which in turn depends on how fast they’re spinning (so the dance they’re performing may also be relevant).

      It already is. That was the whole point of this post.

      Yesterday a moderator told me that it was not a stupid question to ask if a ship can fit in a Klein bottle.

      So I’m basically trolling. I’m leaving this community if the mods don’t step up.

      It’s gotten totally out of hand.

        I appreciate the troll. It’s always bugged me that this community took the name from reddit without the actual theme. This place should be for “common sense” questions you feel stupid having to ask but instead it’s mostly been ELI5, asklemmy, and a variety of loaded questions.

          The sub on Reddit only became more filled with “common sense” questions when it became basically the only sub one could ask a question of any kind without it automatically being removed due to the bigger question asking subs being so strictly controlled to where only 3 or 4 regular users could actually make a fuckin’ post. The point was that anything you wanted an answer to could be asked, and what made it shit was all the assholes mocking those who dared to ask anything other than basic shit you could have learned in school. They were just supposed to be things that could be answered, and not open-eneded random discussion material like this one.

            I was subscribed to it the first week it existed so I know that your story is completely fabricated. The origin is even in the subreddit wiki…

            /r/NoStupidQuestions was founded in February 2013 for people to feel free to ask the questions they might be embarrassed or ashamed to ask elsewhere. Inspired by this thread and specifically this comment

            Look at the questions in that thread. It was always about silly little questions

              You are saying the same thing as me and proving my point… Did you not understand what I said? It was always about asking questions you might be embarrassed about; it wasn’t always about asking simple questions that had to be based in reality the way it is moderated now and the way OP here thinks it should be.

          Right! “No stupid questions” isn’t just a cute saying, the intention behind it was to remove the shame people would carry for asking a question that they “should” already know the answer to.

          It was never meant to solicit opinions, or to ask pointless questions that cannot be answered.

          It’s time for this community to change, I’m not going to make a big poo poo about it, but I’m going to leave if something doesn’t happen. I can sense other people have had it as well.

    What kind of Angel, would be a follow-up. There’s different kinds.
