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.

In the Simpsons episode "Secrets of a Successful Marriage" Homer gets a job teaching at the local civic center. On the way to his first day of class, he stops at the drive thru of Krusty Burger. When asked for his order, Homer said he had no time because he had a class to teach. The teenager working the drive thru informed Homer that it's a felony to tease the order box. I wonder if it's a crime to go to the drive thru, not order anything, and drive away.

If you are disrupting the business and you are told to leave, and you refuse, then that would be trespassing. There is no sane jurisdiction in which simply going to a drive thru without buying anything constitutes a crime.

This seems like common sense to me.

I could see some local law where there could be a fine associated with it, maybe after a spree of drivethrough-ding-dong-ditching hit the town

Wouldn't be a felony though

Except in a cartoon world where it's happened so many times they made it a felony

It's just a kid working in a drive thru though, not a court thingy.

Also, typically trespass wouldn't be a felony

With how lanes are often constructed nowadays you can't really just drive away. You'd have to sit there and wait in line anyways. That seems sufficient punishment for a one-off.

Obviously depends on jurisdiction, but I doubt it (obligatory IANAL).

But should it be? Well, maybe not a felony, but otherwise yeah, fuck people that fuck with food service workers.

Oh, come on... Nothing stops the order boy from answering things like "Very well, Sir, that would be 20 $, now please proceed to the next window!"

In the end, it costs Homer his time, he has got no food, and nothing else has happened.
