No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I've had the thought of using a video game engine synth for electric cars. all of my neighbors have evs and they are so freakishly quiet and I've almost walked into them a few times when leaving through the alley while being a phone zombie
Most EVs actually play sounds already. Just older ones wouldn't now. My brother set his to a spaceship sound. But you can pick normal sounds too, like various style ICE engine sounds.
wait you mean it's configurable? I think its the tesla I can hear leaving if my worse hearing side isn't facing that way because it makes that weird scifi hovering sound. The other neighbor's car just sounds like an air filter on medium so most of the time it just blends with the wind
I really can’t stand the Tesla sound, it’s the worst. I can’t quite put my finger on it but it’s both uncanny and grating. I’ll be in my apartment and suddenly there’s this high-pitched screaming of sorts; it doesn’t sound like the car is doing well.
Yeah, on most models made in the last 5 years or so. Specifically for people with vision or partial hearing loss. But of course the ones that make fake engine sounds are also largely for the specific drivers those EVs are targetted at. They also tend to play them inside the cabin too. The fake engine sounds are pretty terrible though, like videogames from 20+ years ago.
EV drivers are legally obligated to get an 18 inch sub and crank it.
I remember there was the possibility in the talks to mandate some sound on EVs. I think Tesla wanted to use the sound of Blade Runner cars.
