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.

That reminds me of a war movie I've watched, when Josh Hartnett's character said "I think WWII has just started" during the attack on Pearl Harbor. (That line is historically inaccurate).
In reality, people would just consider it the "war" (referring to the European theater) or "Jap invasion of America" marking the US entry into the conflict (the term WWII was not coined yet until after).
Reminds me of Archduke Franz Ferdinand's dying words: "I've been shot! Time for the First World War."
I would pay good money to see that line uttered in a movie about the incident. Or just have characters constantly state the obvious like the audience had never heard of WW1 before.
"Gentlemen, Germany has invaded France. By God, this could become a multi year war of attrition and thousands could die!”
Make it a musical and I'm in.
Ah, the current trend of 'second screen' film making.
My kid's second grade class did a short version of All Quiet on the Western Front that bizarrely included the line
Do they go to Mitchell Brook Primary School?
Is that a fictional school where obviously fictional things happen to make us laugh, like a primary school production of a harrowing WW1 book? What's the show?
I need more Big Fat Quiz in my life
Hilarious talking about WWII before the end of the conflict! At the time, WWI was called “the Great War”, surely not “part I” of anything
There's another anachronism from that movie around 34 minutes in (during the scene where the nurses are on a transport ship heading for the hospital) as the movie is meant to be portray 1941: you can literally see the USS Arizona memorial in the background as pictured and circled below:
It's a nitpicky detail that made it on the final cut, since that wasn't built until 1962 (way after the war!).
I understand that the movie is quite awful, and I haven't seen it. Is this shot worse in motion, or did they consistently try to hide it with the handrails? If the latter, it's not really all that bad for on-location shot.
