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.

Charlie the Unicorn had a coherent plot and humor structure. It wasn't "lol random." Maybe you're thinking of Llamas in Hats.

I mean, to be fair, the same can be said for this, too. Skibidi Toilets actually has a coherent plot and characters if you're paying attention.

I promise you, if you came across Charlie the Unicorn for the first time as an adult, you would describe it similarly.

Okay let's take a look and see what's going on here. youtube search for "skibidi toilet' holy shit episode 73 okay here's a bunch of them in order watches the first few then skips around to get a feel for what's going on

No that's nothing like Charlie the Unicorn. Charlie the Unicorn is pre-2008 cynicism from the same mold as The End of the World aka "H'okay, so". It's a Gen X joke that landed with Millennials. I think it's closer to Jonti's work, somewhere on the Weebl & Bob or Magical Trevor continuum, where you look at your friend and just say "badger badger badger" and they know to say "mushroom mushroom!" and everyone but the adults have a good laugh.

Looks like we've got some SFM goofiness at the beginning with heads popping out of toilets singing a nonsense song, no telling if it's something pre-existing that has been re-used or if it's composed for this, skipping ahead it looks like it goes into "these are invading creatures we must eradicate" SCP creepypasta direction be cause of fucking course it does, this is either made for or made by the FNAF generation. I don't know how old Matpat's audience is anymore man, I turned around twice and my newborn niece is in middle school.
