Shadowbans are sitewide and almost always automates actions to counter spam.

Your chances are better if you avoid doing “spam-like” things:

• Using URL shorteners
• Posting links to several subreddits at once
• Using a lot of links in your comments

If you are unlucky and caught in a false positive, there is an /appeals form that is usually helpful.

No stupid questions.

No. Stupid questions.

No stupid! Questions!

No, stupid. Questions.

No! Stupid! Questions?

No shoes, no shirt, no stupid questions.

No stupid questions beyond this point.

There are no stupid questions.

We ain’t judging no stupid questions.

Without additional context, no. One has a word extra.

Whichever revelation you’ve had that you are dying to “teach” everyone, it’s easier if you just state it directly.

I guarantee you it’s not as reality-shattering as you think it is. Whatever it is, we have seen or thought it and multiple variations of it before.

Let it out, maybe you get some interesting insights to learn from instead of this. It’s just silly.

Hes a r/iamverysmart dude attempting the socratic method (which is a legit teaching method for one-to-one tutoring) on a fucking group of people. Setting aside the base assumption that he just has some great Understanding that we don’t and can’t comprehend if told directly, you can only really do it on one single person if you have a good understanding of what their current mental model is.

Douglas Adams tried it in his book, with the self-insert Avatar character. It was hilariously sad.

Pretentious bullshitter not seeking answers to questions plz ban.

You have answers here.

Engaging with them instead of balking at pushback and repeating your question is a good way to convince people you are not concern trolling, jaq-ing or sealioning.

All of these have been pretty open about “what’s up”. If you know about them, you already have the answer.

This is JAQ propaganda. Not a genuine question.

People were a lot more into executions back then. That’d be my guess.

The last ever lawful execution in Norway was for a traitor politician helping the nazi invasion.

To answer the real question: “Everyone lives just as full a life as you, they think just as deeply as you do. Sure, people are brand loyal and don’t think about things for themselves sometimes. But you, Mr. People Are Sheep, do the same thing, just in other areas of your life.”

Putting on a veil of vagueness and choosing innocent sounding phrasings doesn’t hide this.

Sabine Hossenfelder, used to love her takes on physics until she fell in the usual expert’s trap of believing she can talk equally usefully about things OUTSIDE her expertise.

First trans care, which missed a few important nuances. Then autism, which had a decades-old perspective and was at best “not informative”.

Then hoo boy Capitalism where she made a huge tangled MESS confusing and conflating markets with monetary systems and credit, all apparently based off half-remembered textbooks from 1950 using long-disproven historical claims.

A lot of criticism was sent her way. None was acknowledged, or apparently taken to heart. Repeatedly.

From skillfully presenting physics with a “explain it like I’m 5” style, she’s now spouting any trending topic in a “explained by a 5 year old” style.

A set of small neodymium magnets. Didn’t have a plan, only they looked “super cool and strong wow”.

• Locating needles in the carpet.
• Fishing keychains out from behind sofas, gap between garden deck and house, and so many other places.
• Makeshift fix for an old cabinet door that tended to glide open.
• Holding nails and screws while fixin’ stuff.
• Attaching a soda bottle to the office lamp in a way that is easy to undo while still pissing off HR.
• Slapping it on a screwdriver to make it magnetic.
• Fidget toy.
• Regular ol’ fridge magnet.
