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.

My younger friends all talk about this Jerma person like he's some kind of mythical entity. An eldritch being that cannot be explained for any attempt at explanation inevitably fails.

I am confused. From what I could gather he's like... A streamer? Content creator?

He's a fantastic video game streamer. Very charismatic, genuine, and funny. I think one of the things that makes him special is he'll do ridiculous things for a joke. If he thinks of a funny idea on the fly, sometimes he'll basically stop playing whatever game he was supposed to be streaming, and just do something else stupid instead.

For example, one time he performed a "magic trick" by unplugging his modem and then plugging it back in, using the time in between when the stream was frozen to run out of the room, making it look like he "disappeared". He would do insane, hilarious stuff like that regularly, it wasn't like he had special streams where he did things like that, he did them all the time.

Of course he ALSO did special streams where he went even further, such as the "doll house" stream where he had a whole set made up like a fake house and basically became a Sims character with needs bars and everything. He's a really special guy, and you could spend all day listing all of his amazing feats. He perfectly walks the line between being actually stupid in a funny way, and playing it up as a character, it's convincing enough that it all just becomes "Jerma", but he is also a genuinely good guy.

Unplugging your modem is insane and hilarious?

Man the youth today are easily amused.

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

I bet he can't press W and m1 at the same time!

Thats only reserved for the TF2 elite Pyros.

Thats relatively tame, he's done more ridiculous stuff than that, but it is creative and funny in an "industry" where most streamers just play a game straightforwardly and don't "cut loose" in quite the same way. I'm just habitually hyperbolic.

I also don't want to spoil the best things he's done, half the fun of watching Jerma is discovering those things.

Like we wouldn't have laughed at that in the 80s or 90s provided the tech existed?
