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'm really surprised that you couldn't find a Hollywood movie in an hour. Can I ask what the movie was? Was there a specific question you couldn't find the answer for?
I’ve always had the opposite, that a movie having a certain title absolutely destroys that term or phrase’s use unless all you want is that movie.
People trying to look up the Kirby character "Zero Two" to find fan creations based on it...
Only to get barraged with weeb garbage.
Seriously you used to easily find fan content, remixes and music. Now all you get are shitty AMVs of some turbovirgins "Waifu"
In google search for
And you only get the kirby results. And if you want to filter out the kirby weeb crossovers you add a
Didn't even need the quotations and google knows I'm a weeb, that person is just making a mountain of a mole hill because the newest character with the same name is more popular.
This is because google, surprise surprise, actually knows who you are.
I have very similar results looking for things like Dota 2 hero names. It knows Bane is the nightmare purple monster, not the masked walking meme batman villain, and I don't have to specify.
What google is TRULY garbage at is answering questions.
Unfortunately negative prompts and quotations don't work half of the time on Google. As many in this comment section have noted.
Google will nag you and not show them, but if you press the "I really mean what I searched for" thing then it usually works for me. I just wish Google would trust that I know what I typed. But yeah I remember it being better.
You need to click search tools and select "verbatim."
exact match was phased out years ago sadly
I just tried the search prompt I wrote and it worked flawlessly. Idk what the issue is.
I have never heard this term before... Oh that has me laughing, I can never not associate that with weebs and waifu now
Have all three with zero two kirby search.

Looks fine to me
I understand OP's sentiment that google's getting worse, but this sounds like ragebait. No examples of what they searched for an hour.
People don't lie on the internet, it doesn't happen 🫥
I would ask why op didn't use IMDb.com or trakt which catalogue every Hollywood movie?
People used to be able to do research. Haven't they ever heard of the Dewey Decimal system?
You can’t ask, because the OP is just part 1 of an ad
