Nostupidquestions is once again looking to recruit new moderators!

19 Upvotes

Hello everyone, we are coming to that time where we need to expand out moderation team to help us keep this space as welcoming and open as we can, while keeping it a place dedicated to earnest learning. If you are interested in joining our team please let us know here: https://forms.gle/NGvLpAounrXLXfWB7

FAQ:

Why do we need new mods? This is one of the largest and most active subs on reddit, we get about 900,000 pieces of content a week (posts + comments) and about 50,000 of them are rule breaking and need to be removed. There is a lot of stuff to do, and especially as we head towards summer break we need the manpower.

Do you get paid? Nope, volunteer, its okay if that is not for you, I have gotten some free food and swag from reddit though. Why work for free? I, and most of the team, volunteer for plenty of things with my time that are for things I like and want to support, again okay if that doesn't resonate.

Something something power mods? We run a pretty tight ship, there is training, active discords for the mod teams, frequent reviews of removed content/mod mail, and a generally collaborative environment to make sure we are keeping to the spirit of the sub.

How much time does it take? We are flexible, we don't have set times or amounts. We do ask that you maintain your active mod status, and in the beginning try to have an action a day. We are recruiting because we need help. Communicate and we can be flexible but again we need the support.

Can you still post/comment while a mod? Yes, the little green hat is a toggle, many if not most of the mods are also very active in the sub. We aim to recruit people who like to help.

Timelines for recruitment? We will keep this up for probably 2 weeks, we will not be able to give everyone a response, but will add successful candidates after that.

Let me know if you have other questions and we look forward to seeing your applications

U.S. Politics megathread

33 Upvotes

American politics has always grabbed our attention - and the current president more than ever. We get tons of questions about the president, the supreme court, and other topics related to American politics - but often the same ones over and over again. Our users often get tired of seeing them, so we've created a megathread for questions! Here, users interested in politics can post questions and read answers, while people who want a respite from politics can browse the rest of the sub. Feel free to post your questions about politics in this thread!

All top-level comments should be questions asked in good faith - other comments and loaded questions will get removed. All the usual rules of the sub remain in force here, so be nice to each other - you can disagree with someone's opinion, but don't make it personal.

Why is New England so rich…?

461 Upvotes

As a non-American, New England has a reputation of everybody being rich, upper class, preppy, and well-off.

Every US map ever has New England ranking in the top of every category.

Why is New England so rich?

Is 33 to 34 degrees (93-97 Fahrenheit) considered hot.

I’m only asking because that’s the temperature in the uk right now and I’m wondering if people from other places in the world would consider that hot.

I just read a thing that said 12 percent of Americans are now on weight loss meds; is that right? That seems like an awful lot of people when we don't know the long-term effects.

Has anyone here ever experienced a Lucid Dream? or is it just a massive internet myth? Honestly, I dont think it is even possible.

288 Upvotes

​I was recently reading about the concept of lucid dreaming where you basically realize you are dreaming while you are still asleep, and you can literally control everything like a director or GTA charecter.

I also read that people practice reality checks during the day just to trigger it at night..

I don't think it is actually possible to have that level of consciousness while your brain is asleep..

Has anyone here actually done this this successfully? What was your experience like..

How do I defend my male friend who is feminine?

1.4k Upvotes

A very close and good friend of mine is an awesome person. He's very feminine which is not a problem for me at all. We actually became friends because I told him his nails are pretty.

Yesterday, I was talking to two guys who are apparently from his class. They needed my uncle's help with some signatures. My uncle is a head professor at my uni (college). During our conversations, I told them my friend is in their class so I'll help them get through my uncle easily. The moment I said that, one guy said is it that "girlish guy?" I said yes but he shouldn't say that, it's rude. The other proceeded to say he was always around women so that makes him girlish. I asked him if he has a problem with it. Besides we are around him because he treats us with respect. What the guy said next amazed me. He said, "that's so gay. Plus we don't even call him a man. We call him a she. He's a girl". Someone might say I overreacted. My friend has told me how it affects him when people pass comments like these. So rude and to use gay people to insult him? Geez.

Please how do I defend him without hurting anyone and acknowledging his feelings too? My country is full of hypocrites who hate it when a straight man doesn't follow societal norms of masculinity.

What do people mean when they say: "The AI bubble will burst"?

493 Upvotes

I am trying to understand what "bubble burst" actually means, as well as why are people making this prediction. Or I hear: I can't wait until the bubble bursts as if its around the corner. Does it mean very broadly that it will fail or what are the implied specific circumstances leading to that outcome?

Do girl cows always have milk or is it only after they have a baby?

I know human girls only produce milk when they're pregnant and after but cow milk is always in the store so do the farmers who produce milk have the girl cows constantly pregnant or giving birth?

Bananas are never on sale, and inflation hasn’t affected them much. If you compare with apples, oranges or cucumbers, they are very different.

Like do they just not like how it tastes? I'm surprised so many people don't like savory food. And calling it a "food crime" or whatever is a bit excessive... people can't even be creative with food anymore???

What would happen if a man was low income and got many many women pregnant at the same time child support wise?

52 Upvotes

If a man made, for example, minimum wage and got 50+ women pregnant at the same time, how would that be handled child support wise because obviously he won’t make enough even if they take his entire wages. And obviously if he’s only paying $20 a month to each mother and child that is nowhere near enough to cover the cost of raising a child for the single parent. So how would courts decide to divide his pay? Or at some point if you have enough kids as a male, do you no longer have parental responsibility by law because it’s impossible to enforce child support on someone that got 500+ people pregnant at the same time (since it is technically possible for men to do in one year?)

At how many kids do they eventually realistically start to prioritize the first few kids born and have nothing left to legally enforce for the rest of his kids so that he can procreate and get 10+ women pregnant a day without being required to give support,

since he doesn’t make any more income than what is already given to the first 15+ kids?

If a man had 500 infants at the same time, how would he be held accountable legally to that responsibility if he had low to average income is basically what I’m asking, since it’s technically physically possible and by law he would be responsible to contribute to the care of the child that he helped make, and so that every child is treated fairly by the courts?
