No, as a matter of fact, the subject of this particular post fits the sub exactly. It is a stupid question.
It is incredibly stupid. There is no real way to answer it, and any answer would be superficial because it is such a massive hypothetical that the answer itself does not actually matter.
Although, as stated above, it technically fits the sub, it violates the spirit of what this is supposed to be.
I personally feel it is exactly the sprit of community is designed for, no? This community explicitly welcome potentially stupid question in the hope that good discussions can arise from it.
I agree that this question is indeed werid and perhaps even deserves to be called “stupid question”, but I feel this is what this community is welcoming, no?
The original purpose of the subreddit its named after was for questions that you’d feel stupid asking. Like “how often do I actually have to wash a hoodie?” Like common knowledge things you just don’t know. Askreddit was for casual or goofy questions like this.
There is no rule that makes this question unsuited but personally I think it’s a useless community without a strict theme. R/nostupidquestions just became r/askreddit2 and I expect the same to come from this one without any clear rules or moderation.

Exactly. I totally agree.
I think a really good way to avoid crap like this is to make a rule not allowing hypotheticals on the sub.
