Ask Lemmy
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 !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
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 info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Pretending not to be American when travelling abroad.
If you wear a baseball cap you've already given it away.
Has it ever worked? ;-)
Yes. I was able to fake being Irish for a bit to a group of English folk. (It was just an alcohol induced joke at the time, s'all. They were either a few pints in or I did really well. Dunno.)
People are just people and there is probably a word or phrase for "gullible" in most languages.
With dentistry straight from the uncanny valley and inside voices that rival foghorns?
If you visit harbin China they will think you are Russian, which is pretty much a wash. The worst part is the Russians will think you are Russian too and try to get you to drink with them. Unless you regularly down pints of vodka do NOT go drinking with Russians.
LMAO especially the ones who want you to drink with them I guess!
