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

I want an answer.

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

      Not enough info. What wattage of microwave? What size and filling of the burrito? Is he allowed to drink water and/or wine between bites? Have you recently modified the DNS settings on the microwave?

      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.

          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.

    Right answer should be none, zero. I have few friends named Angel (that is their first name) and none of them can dance.

    This was actually a Victorian parody question they invented to make fun of medieval philosophers. Nowadays we think Thomas Aquinas, etc. were making quite sophisticated points, albeit within the boundaries of the religious society of the time.

      They are wrong.

      They are lazy.

      If they don’t want to shape this into a community where people can actually ask questions that can produce a meaningul answers, it’s just a pointless chat room.
