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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

In the US, some parts of Europe, etc. I'm assuming OP is not in one of those areas.
Edit: Updated geography.
I'm not in the US either....
"US defaultism refers to the tendency for people, particularly those in the United States, to assume that the US is the default or only relevant context when discussing various topics."
Funnily enough @davidgro@lemmy.world suspected you of having been displaying US defaultism ;-)
Your sentence makes no sense, are you speaking on someone else's behalf voicing an imagined opinion you think they have?
@davidgro@lemmy.world pointed out to you that OP might not be an US citizen, so suspected you to be one, ignorant of the fact that other people outside the US exist.
And you then replying to that with the US defaultism quote is funny.
I made zero assumption about whether op was in the US or not. I simply responded to @davidgro@lemmy.world US defaultism.
You ironically just provided another example of US defaultism 🤣
Interesting. What country are you in? Whenever SMS comes up on the Internet usual people mention it being a US thing almost exclusively.
It's usually in the context of there not being a single app alternative (like WhatsApp or that one China uses) which took off before SMS became unlimited here, so SMS is the default if you want to exchange text messages with someone or if a company does.
Please tell me you're joking...
Well, I suppose I could actually pay attention to your username.
Yep Northern Ireland is not a US state thankfully 🤪
