No Stupid Questions
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.

There's an urban legend in New York City.
One day, a patrol car in the Bronx finds a headless body laying in the street. The victim's hands, feet, and skin was removed. There's a massive response to find the deranged killer. Everything gets called off in a few hours, after the coroner realizes that it's the body of a gorilla.
There was a hot dog factory in the area.
So what was the pretended point of the story? They were transporting the skinned gorilla body to be used in the hot dog factory and it fell of the truck or what?
well yeah
I was gonna say this was some high-quality bullshit but after this year I just assume RFK Jr. was involved somehow.
For a similar story, which isn't a urban legend. My mother used to be the main resource for an archeological information center in the US Southwest. When work crews dug up a body, she'd get a call from the coroner to ask, "is it yours or mine?" While both are going to want to know the cause of death, the coroner isn't going to open a criminal case for a Native America burial.
Sounds like the start of a Tony Hillerman [author] Joe Leaphorn mystery. Someone finds a body that looks like it's a Native American ritual burial, but it's not...
[see TV show 'Dark Winds']
...And then the gorilla's hand held up one more finger.
