A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected]. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

These things were known for jumping to their death (which is wrong).

Thanks Disney

(They didn't start the rumor but they're probably the reason it's still so common.)

I only know the videogame lemmings (vague memory) and I love how they used umbrella's when falling down. So I love lemmings, even more now I saw that picture. Go lemmings!

Not Disney but a 90's video game called Lemming

Oh yeah I forgot about that, a friend's dad told me about it when I brought up Di sney during a very similar discussion lol

He hadn't ever heard of anyone saying such, but he said it made that game make a lot more sense.
