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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Yeah, a UK chav is more like a US white guy that acts and dresses like a black guy.
A bogan and a redneck are roughly equivalent, but a bogan and a hillbilly also works.
Nah but Chavs are illiterate and uneducated like rednecks just less country and more urban
I'm guessing you don't know any rednecks.
You think lower class behavior = acting black?
Extremely problematic take.
I'm really surprised to see the vote ratios here. I mean, I assume the person you're replying to isn't actually a racist, but the association of black guys with being thugs definitely is.
I think you're underestimating how many racists there are on here now.
Lemmy will upvote all kinds of vile shit as long as you're polite about it
Check your biases.
I clearly meant that they adopted black culture in terms of mannerisms, dress, and speech.
You said doing so is the equivalent of a Chav which is defined by connotations of lower class.
Extremely problematic. Downright racist I'd say.
Where did they do this??
But why male models?
I think you're the first one who used the phrase lower class behavior here. Which is kinda telling...
That's the dictionary definition of Chav:
a young person of a type characterized by coarse and brash behavior (with connotations of low social status).
that's a dictionary definition , top tier cherry picking though, congrats.
Note, this says "connotations of low social status." The "urban black" culture usually has this same connotation. It isn't a rule that people from either of these groups have low social status, it's just associated with it. This is not racist, though the association could be viewed as problematic, but that is a cultural issue, not an issue with what the user above said.
They didn't say urban. They said act and dress like a black guy. What do you think "acting and dressing like a black guy" means, exactly?
Sounds like you have an idea of what it means to you and are trying to foist that upon others.
The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
