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.

because a meetup would be a lemmon party.

"Can't have a Lemon party without old Dick."

[–] AbsurdityAccelerator 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] queermunist 26 points 1 year ago (2 children)

But then what does /c/ mean?

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

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That "again" has me chuckling.

[–] TheInsane42 16 points 1 year ago

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] 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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

[–] Vengefu1Tuna 6 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

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

[–] th0th_Q 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lemmy’s actual mascot is a Lemming so far as I know.

[–] Candelestine 2 points 1 year ago

I like the self-aware jab. It amuses me.

[–] banksymimosa 8 points 1 year ago

Lemmon, it's Wednesday.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I agree with this, most social medias don't have these kinds of names for general people, sure people who make Youtube videos are Youtubers, but people who watch youtube videos are not Youtubites or something. We can just be Lemmy users, or Kbin users

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

Redditor is a thing though, and most people came from reddit. However, thinking about it, Youtuber and Tiktoker are reserved for the creators, not the users. As for the rest...

Facebooker

Whatsapper

Instagrammer

Yeah I'm fine with fediverse user.

[–] Ataraxia 2 points 1 year ago

Or anthropomorphic chestnut.

[–] afraid_of_zombies2 3 points 1 year ago

Somethings are too old the moment they occur to you.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Never have i seen the term "redditor" not be used in a inflammatory context. I think lemming would quickly be associated negatively due to the actions of some small group and then be generalized to all lemmy users.

[–] Protoknuckles 2 points 1 year ago

It helps with posts a bit. Being able to say "fellow lemmings..." or "as a lemming..." I wouldn't use it in real life though.

[–] Malisu19997 7 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.

[–] Ataraxia 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Ataraxia 2 points 1 year ago

No wait... lemmites. Sorry.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (3 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.

[–] MiddleWeigh 3 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] 2 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

Or just "the feds"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

As long as we don't start making The Federation and Star Trek jokes, I'm for it

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

since we are more than lemmy users lets just call ourselfs the feds

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Ich bin ein kbiner

[–] axtualdave 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Restaldt 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mind if i google myself in your office?

[–] axtualdave 1 points 1 year ago

Of course, go ahead!

[–] giacomo 5 points 1 year ago

I like fediots.

[–] [email protected] 5 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.

lemmon party?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Honestly, 'Kilmisters' was right there

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

You shall not take the name of God in vain, heathen \m/

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Internet history and lore dictates that Lemons are something to distance yourself from an internet stand point.

It would be on par with using goatsee as the mascot, only more experienced and three of them are having a party.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

If lemmy users are gonna be called lemmons then the owners need to change their names to 'Richard'.

After all, it isn't a lemmon party without old Dick.

[–] Cna 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

But lemons are sour...

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

I've always been a fan of Lemmonites.

[–] solrize 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Lemmyng? Lemmyn? Hmm, lemmyn sound like a female separatist Lemmy users, I guess.
