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.

It's impossible to ask a stupid question here, actually. Try it!

Here, I'll do one:

******** ?

What did you write? I only see ******

Ok, what'd I miss? I don't understand the reference.

Wow! Can't believe I've never seen it before, considering I've been in the internet since 1994...

WHAT
When did it die? That's so sad

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Fairly recently, I believe. I think it was earlier this year.

There's some mirror/archive sites already set up with all the old content, though.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Well it's a series of tubes - you might have been in a different one to bash.org (rip).

Glad I could bring this one to you :)

Welcome to the Fediverse.

what's the first browser you used?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I was 7 when we got our modem (I still have the packaging for it!), but browser? I think it was Netscape, but that might also have been a year later, for all I know. If you want a photo of the modem box because you don't believe me, let me know.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

i'll take netscape as the answer for now

It works on lemmy too. If you type in your account password, it gets censored and it shows up as stars. ******** see?

I'll bite:

Is hunter2 a strong password?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

What do you type? All I see is *******

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Tbh it never was. It was practically as weak as a password could get, even before becoming a meme.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Thanks to Unicode, 𝓱𝓾𝓷𝓽𝓮𝓻2 is a very strong password now.
