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.

MODERATORS
People answering a question like "Would you like to do X, or Y?" with "yes."
I didn't fucking ask "Would you like to do X or Y?", so put down whatever solvent you are chugging, then give me your choice.
Yes
No.
Yesn't
Banana
Edit: damnit. I should've gone with the car guy answer: "Miata is always the answer" but I'll leave it up.
-
people posting shit quality memes without spending the smallest bit of effort to find a better quality version of the same meme, especially when it's a comic and the author is cropped out.
-
people posting blog spam article links about an announcement instead of just linking directly to the announcement
Instead of our, they use are as if they forgot the word our exists.
I'm not sure if I've seen this, is this about the pronunciation?
Yeah, I've never seen or heard that either. I'm sure there our plenty of dialects where those two words sounds similar or identical.
Our there? Or our you joking with us?
If someone reads my comment, and they'our not sure if I'm serious our not, that's ok with me.
I mentioned this to my mother just a minute ago. I said I've never seen anyone use "are" instead of "our" and she was like "oh god that drives me nuts; I see that all the time!"
THE TREND OF ALL CAPS IN MARKETING
I really hate the use of quotes “for emphasis”
also branding
particularly the style that gives up on capitalisation and punctuation
this is not primary school
All or nothing perspectives with AI and zealous hate. It's helped me through my toughest year yet of physical disability and social isolation. It has improved my Python, CPP, and writing bash scripts. I've used it with cooking ideas, and finding products. It has helped me discover an entire science fiction universe of my own creation and helps me explore subtle nuances. It has helped me gain a much better understanding of the variety of human functional thought and psychology, especially in ways where other people may not understand my abstractive thoughts and connections across different spaces. It has also shown me why I get frustrated at people with different functional thought. The bad attitudes and emotional perspectives suck and can be depressing here. That is my biggest pet peeve this year. I've responded to it the most, and I've disconnected from here to go do other things the most from people with a bad attitude on AI.
People who park the wrong way in the parking lot and then dive the wrong way. I'm talking about were the lanes aren't wide, so they're all angled. There even arrows painted at the entrance of each lane. But there always some dipshit that pulls through, or did the dumbest maneuver you've seen to back into it. And then they glare at people in their way who are going the right way...
Going to the grocery store has just infuriated me with a sheer number of entitled terrible drivers. Every last one of them should be sent back to driver's ed.
Messaging:
- People who reply to direct text questions with 5min audio recordings.
- People who use Enter as if it was the space bar, sending 10 messages for what could be easily sent as one.
- People who treat their requests as of utmost urgency, but when you contact them back take hours or even days to reply back.
Online forums:
- The sort of illiterate fuck who treats "but" as if it contradicted everything preceding it.
- People who feel entitled to have ELI5 versions of the text content produced by other people. (i.e. throwing a tantrum because of difficult words, text size, or even conceptual complexity.)
- Usage of "lol" and/or "lmao". (I mentally translate those into "I'm braindead and should be treated accordingly.")
- The sort of dead weight that focuses too much on specific words being used to convey something, instead of what it conveys.
