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 think they reserve the amount on your bank account but it is not taken before the item is sent. I think. Or maybe they only charge just before they send and then don't send if there's not enough.
The banking system and cards must work differently in your country, unless it's the second thing you said. That would be nice though. Here in the US sometimes you can wait weeks after getting charged before it sends, especially if it's a smaller company that might somehow miss your order.
I think it's more likely the first thing I said. I think perhaps it's a difference between debit and credit cards? I know credit cards is more common in the US but basically never used here in Denmark.
I love hearing about how other cultures work. I have a question because this is a point of contention with me and our banking system.
If you have 5.000 DKK in your bank account and buy something worth 6.000 DKK, does your bank allow the charge to go through? If it does, are you charged large fees? How does that work?
Semi-related but not exactly... In the US when a company puts a hold charge on your debit card, depending on what it's for, it's usually for more than the amount than is being paid, I believe, then they refund/unhold the rest when the charge goes through. I may not be accurate in this because I only have it happen at gas stations. You have to have minimum $170 in your account to pay at the pump. Otherwise you have to go inside and pay without a hold.
Someone else from the US correct me if I'm wrong please.
By the way you have a very beautiful country.
No, you wouldn't be able to pay.
I've never heard of reserving or holding more than the price. I honestly don't know how much is reserved when you put your card in the gas station - I would assume it would stop pumping once you go over your amount on your card? But I've never been in this situation. Gas stations in Denmark are rarely manned though so there is no "inside" to go to in case you don't have enough.
I think so too! There are some Danish communities on Feddit.dk (most prominently [email protected]) if you would like to ask more questions.
Thank you, I'll join them and lurk for a while before asking questions.
