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.

Just got back from beautiful Canada 2 weeks ago! I was delighted to spend time with my wonderful brothers and sisters we met along the way in Canada.
What I'm really interested to know is if at border crossings, individual will or will not have to pay duties on purchases in Canada. Previously it was only on liquor or cigarettes over a certain amount. Now will I have to declare I bought a pair of shoes in Canada from Softmoc, a tank of gas from Canadian Tire, or a bottle of maple syrup from Quebec paying addition taxes on all of these to bring them back to the states? Do you know how hard it is to find peameal bacon in the USA?
If you spent 48 hours or more abroad then you can claim an $800 exemption from duties. This is the case for both Canada and the US (except the dollars is the respective currency). USA gets a fixed $200 exemption for every crossing if the other one doesn't apply, Canada requires a 24 hour minimum stay for any exemptions, but in practicality if you tell CBSA you have around $200 of stuff that isn't alcohol, most (especially at road/rail borders) will just wave you through without needing to fill out duty forms and pay.
The personal exemption should still exist, but I didn't actually look that up.
