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.

As an example. I grew up in hip-hop but at a certain point I stopped listening to new people and realised recently that I’d slept on some bangers. Like Kendrick particularly, but even people like Juice WRLD and Xxxtentacion.

The same for the Kendrick and Drake (the nonce) beef which has given some rabbit holes to go down.

So I’m wondering what I can do to keep in the loop with my younger brothers and sisters?

Is it something as simple as watching trending videos on YouTube (somtheing I’ve never done) or are there people to follow etc. I don’t like Twitter though so hopefully it’s not that.

Edit: Man I got so many replies. You guys are awesome. I am going to work my way through them all today, but I’m hella tired and off to work so may take a while. I will reply to you all.

Edit part deux: God damn I think I got all the replies.

Aging? At 30? Kid, are you mocking us?

Yep. That was nearly 30 years ago...

I’m in my early 20s. Just how old are you geezers??

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Just add your twenties to OPs thirties, and you are close. Yes, I remember the time before smartphones, internet, and influencers.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

OP here. I am late thirties to be honest.

Anyway, there has always been influencers. What would you call Norma ~~Jane~~ Jeane.

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

What would you call Norma Jane.

No idea. Who is she?

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

My apologies, it’s Norma Jeane Mortensen who was Marilyn Monroe.

My nana used to always say Norma Jeane, well to me it sounded like Jane so just assumed it was common knowledge with the older generation

I guess it doesn’t help that I misheard her lol

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

OK, that name is known. Amazing when you think that she and Queen Elizabeth II are born at about the same time...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Shut the front door. That is pretty wild to think about really.

Shame she died so young.

Obligatory, f to the royal family. As I Brit I can’t stand them or anything they stand for.
