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.

Animals already have regional accents!

[–] Iamsqueegee@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 days ago

It’s been proven with cat’s meows. Distinct among various regions. And, they’re based on how human babies cry in those regions IIRC.

[–] n3m37h@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Pidgins would be Italians 100%

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

The Goodfeathers!

[–] HerrVorragend@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Do you mean pigeons? If so, agreed.

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Pigeons would speak a pidgin language, obviously.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

Would it be like "totes mid, fr, fr"? THAT pidgin?

[–] n3m37h@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

[–] DebatableRaccoon@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 days ago

Koalas would be Bogan. "Luk at mee n ah'll scratch ye eyes owt ya pommy cant!"

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

I think cats would have outrageously fake french accents.

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Meerkat 100% would have posh British accents with how they look around.

[–] palordrolap@fedia.io 5 points 2 days ago

Ask the British (and apparently Australians too) about that and we might say meerkats are Russian on account of a very popular set of insurance TV advertisements.

That said, I haven't watched TV in earnest for a few years at this point, specifically before Russia fell from favour, so I'm not sure whether that's affected their popularity or not.

And I have no idea what we might have said prior to the ad campaign.

I didn't need a reason to reread Redwall, but you just gave me one

[–] Tangerine@scribe.disroot.org 5 points 2 days ago

This reminds me of The Wild Thornberrys.

I would expect roos to sound very stereotypically Aussie.

[–] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 4 points 23 hours ago

Somehow I think ducks would have an accent like the old 'transatlantic' accent used by actors from the 1940s.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 19 hours ago

pigs would be speaking pig latin, dont know which accent though.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 19 hours ago

they would always be british for some reason.

In my mind Grizzly Bears sound like Maggie Smith.

[–] jenesaisquoi@feddit.org 1 points 11 hours ago

Cats would speak received pronounciation

[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 1 points 12 hours ago

Foxes would speak with a flemish accent.
