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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Because it's everywhere and I'm tired of people trying to make me try it.

The Slop Sketch (with apologies to Monty Python)Scene: A cafe. One table is occupied by a group of Vikings with horned helmets on. A man and his wife enter.

Man (Eric Idle): You sit here, dear.

Wife (Graham Chapman in drag): All right.

Man (to Waitress): Morning!

Waitress (Terry Jones, in drag as a bit of a rat-bag): Morning!

Man: Well, what've you got?

Waitress: Well, there's egg and bacon; egg sausage and bacon; egg and slop; egg bacon and slop; egg bacon sausage and slop; slop bacon sausage and slop; slop egg slop slop bacon and slop; slop sausage slop slop bacon slop tomato and slop;

Vikings (starting to chant): Slop slop slop slop...

Waitress: ...slop slop slop egg and slop; slop slop slop slop slop slop baked beans slop slop slop...

Vikings (singing): Lovely slop! Lovely slop!

Waitress: ...or Lobster Thermidor aux crevettes with a Mornay sauce served in a Provençale manner with shallots and aubergines, garnished with truffle pâté, brandy and a fried egg on top and slop.

Wife: Have you got anything without slop?

Waitress: Well, there's slop egg sausage and slop, that's not got much slop in it.

Wife: I don't want ANY slop!

Man: Why can't she have egg bacon slop and sausage?

Wife: THAT'S got slop in it!

Man: Hasn't got as much slop in it as slop egg sausage and slop, has it?

Vikings: Slop slop slop slop (crescendo through next few lines)

Wife: Could you do the egg bacon slop and sausage without the slop then?

Waitress: Urgghh!

Wife: What do you mean ‘Urgghh'? I don't like slop!

Vikings: Lovely slop! Wonderful slop!

Waitress: Shut up!

Vikings: Lovely slop! Wonderful slop!

Waitress: Shut up! (Vikings stop) Bloody Vikings! You can't have egg bacon slop and sausage without the slop.

Wife (shrieks): I don't like slop!

Man: Sshh, dear, don't cause a fuss. I'll have your slop. I love it. I'm having slop slop slop slop slop slop slop baked beans slop slop slop and slop!

Vikings (singing): Slop slop slop slop. Lovely slop! Wonderful slop!

Waitress: Shut up!! Baked beans are off.

Man: Well could I have her slop instead of the baked beans then?

Waitress: You mean slop slop slop slop slop slop... (but it is too late and the Vikings drown her words)

Vikings: (singing elaborately) Slop slop slop slop. Lovely slop! Wonderful slop! Slop slo-o-o-o-o-op slop slo-o-o-o-o-op slop. Lovely slop! Lovely slop! Lovely slop! Lovely slop! Lovely slop! Slop, slop, slop, SLOOOOOOOOOOOP!
