!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:
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.

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.

Mastodon is an awesome name. Calling their tweets "toots" however...
Fool! Doctor Doom toots as he pleases!
it's lovely and whimsical! Much better than just "posts" which is what they've renamed them to :(
Maybe it's cultural but "toots" just make me think of farts.
Same! Fart jokes are very funny though. People who don't find farts funny are choosing to have less joy in their life but the same amount of farts ;)
All in all, the fediverse is a megazord
Mastodons lived like 30 million years after dinosaurs...
And thus even the earliest mastodons lived closer to humans than to dinosaurs. The latest mastodons had the unfortunate fate of living together with humans.
And pterodactyls weren't dinosaurs. Pterodons were though....I think
Nope, neither were, they're both flying reptiles in the Pterosaur clade. They did live alongside dinosaurs though.
This is definitely dating yourself... and me too.
Crazy to think. But I'll be damned if it isn't still cool.
I always pictured mastodons as Mammoths though I think they are shorter and have straighter tusks.
I think of the heavy metal band - maybe because I played a couple of their songs a lot in Rock Band.
I don't even listen to them and still this is the first thing I think of. (For as much metal as I do listen to, I'm not a fan of that growling/screaming vocal style.)
I love you
CONSTIPATED MONKEYZORD!
I know it's completely wrong but it makes me think of a shark. Like a megalodon I guess?
Saber tooth tiger is the only thing on that list that actually makes sense thematically. Possibly one of the later Terror Birds would work as a theme though...
no, i think of a weird-shaped elephant with ginormous tusks that curl almost into a circle
