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 feel like there could be a funny (well, funnier) version of this,
Yeah, my first job was under a bridge and now millions of people are seeing me on social media every day
Jokes are funnier to people if you let them fill in a missing detail or two, actually saying "troll" makes it a bit too obvious
Also, he should be trying to flirt and she should look bored out of her mind, because magical creatures with mundane problems (like bad dates) has been funny since before Shrek
Yeah my first job was under a bridg, not bad decent pay and few regular costumers, but since I got the opportunity to work remote, business is booming, millions of costumers and you can get some really high paying gigs.
There is a funnier, better executed version of this joke in What We Do In The Shadows.
Could’ve been made a fun joke if it was delivered with a proper setup and punchline. This is just an amusing observation without any interesting delivery.
Not sure the intention of emphasizing the words “used” and “these”. Doesn’t make the comic funnier the slightest.
The joke is the person he's sitting with, who is a modern day troll.
It would be funnier if the bridge troll was like "those guys have ruined analog trolling"
Kind of, but more "slightly amusing" than funny.
I thought about exhaling gently through my nose.
Not terrible, but the wording could be a bit less obvious. Maybe drop a working remotely joke in there.
It's not funny to me. It gives me a real "1980s standup comedian" feeling, if that makes sense. Like it was written by someone who is funny, but very out of touch
Seems highly unoriginal and low effort to me. This is like first Shrek movie level humor. Clever for about five seconds.
Nope.
A troll is someone who baits other posters with mischevious to malicious intent for the lols. The last point is very important. Trolls are anarchic chaotic neutral creatures. Spreading misinfornation is not trolling. It is plain evil.
That's what trolling used to be about, sure, but unfortunately the definition seems to have changed.
yea ever since the term "troll farm" was used in the 2016 elections it seems to have changed
Meh. Not really.
are web comics ever funny? i don't think so. but people like them when they resonate or something. personally i resonate with my ass
isn't it about the artist/writer rather than being on web or print or whatever other media?
- oglaf makes me laugh sometimes.
- I recently found out about wondermark on a lemmy thread about seaLioning.
- wumo was really funny 10 years ago
Are any comics ever funny? I don't think they're supposed to be. They're simply meant to entertain.
Yes
A little.
