Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

There are a thousand decisions like this.
You have to decide where your ethics are. You're right, they'll keep making them. It doesn't matter what others do, it's what you choose to do that defines you. Are you okay with taking a single use plastic bag and letting it sit in the landfill for thousands of years (or in the ocean) so you can have the convenience of not carrying a fabric bag in? Are you okay with a minimum wage worker collecting your cart so you wouldn't have to take the 20 seconds to push it into a corral?
These are questions you can't ask the internet, it's your personal morals. I know where my morals are. Everyone else can be who they are, but I am the only one who has to live with my decisions.
please let me know what other questions i shouldn’t ask the internet. i’m new to the internet so it would be great if someone can tell me what i should/shouldn’t do.
The manufacturers make what's needed to meet demand. If demand is smaller, they make less.
