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.

But then what does /c/ mean?

If we're lemmings, then these are /c/liffs

... okay that's pretty good

I'll be a lemming and run off /c/liffs, but you lemmons can post on /c/itrusses if you want lol

That’s a myth. Well. The suicide part. It was started because the normal lemming run wasn’t “dramatic” enough, and in any case, Lemmings don’t really run on cue, so Disney caught a bunch of lemmings and threw them over the cliff using a turntable for a white Wilderness (Like you know those spinning fertilizer or salt spreaders? It was like that. But with lemmings.)

Normally, lemmings make short hops to get down safely.

(Though for the record that was a really fun video game.)

Lemmon, it's Wednesday.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I like fediots.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

because a meetup would be a lemmon party.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

If you don't know what lemon party is, don't google it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Imo, Lemmons make about as much sense as callling Kbin users Kbabs.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You say that as if it's a bad thing. Kbab is a fantastic name!

When I have to pick between a cute furry rodent or a sour fruit... I know what I'd pick.

When life throws you a lemon, you hurl it back as fast as you can and cuddle a lemming.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would say since there isn’t a singular instance we can see these posts from, instead of being Lemmings/Kbinners/whatever, we call ourselves “Federales” due to the federated nature of the servers.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Some grey federales say, they could a had him any day

They only let him slip away out of kindness I suppose

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

yoo van zandt, nice
But yeah agree, federales is already a word and an ill-fitting one.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We call ourselves lemmings? That's new information to me, though I guess it would make sense. Lemons is better though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm sure it's supposed to be lemurs, but really it's lemmongs.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

No wait... lemmites. Sorry.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I knew a lawyer-lady who was, technically, a “Miss Lemmon”.

She really hated my shitty Hercule Perot accent.

Can’t really blame her on that. Fortunately I only cracked the joke once.

You're clearly operating in some kind of made up world. Lemmings is amazing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Because lemmings are cute. Lemons are just something you squeeze the juice out of to make lemonade or just lemon water to clean your liver.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Just don't ask me to join the lemon party. Not falling for that one again

Mind if i google myself in your office?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Of course, go ahead!

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Unpopular opinion, but having a name for someone who uses Lemmy is pretty cringe. under what context could you possibly use it and not sound like an idiot? At a party are you asking someone if they are a lemming/lemmon? They're gonna look at you like wtf are you talking about.

It has big "the narwhal bacons at midnight" vibes

Lemming (verb): the act of doing lemmy Lemm-on (noun): having erected lemmy. So only instance owners can be called lemmons. The correct term for the rest of us is: Lemmer (noun): someone who does lemmy
