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.

doesn’t capitalize

q.q

>.<

whines about being pigeonholed as a child due to how they communicate on a social network

“I deserve to be treated like an adult because I am at least 1 year and 1 day past the US age of majority”

I remember my first time on the internet, too

FYI, pigeon doesn't have a D in it.

I'm 22, 23 next month. The reason you're being labeled as a child is the way you type. The vibes people are getting from your messages/posts do convey a pre-teen person. Tone down the exclamation points and capitalize the beginning of sentences. Emotion Faces should probably be reserved for chats with friends or family as on the internet they are tied to younger people. Here's a re-written version of your post as an example:

"Whenever I post or talk to people on an online forum or something, they think that I'm a child or child-like. But I'm not, I am a 20 y/o. It's fine if they think that, but I think it's disrespectful."

Your biological age doesn't matter on the Internet. Your only currency is how you communicate. If you communicate like a child, as far as the Internet is concerned, you are a child. If you want to be treated like an adult you need to act/communicate like an adult.

Adults convey meaning with words, not emojis.

There's something about the way you type that comes across as juvenile. I think it's the lack of capitalization and grammatical errors. Are you not a native English speaker? That would definitely explain it.

OP's posting history.

Yeah, wonder why that might be. Most people who have been around for a while have seen a lot of trolling that was better executed than yours is.

I mean, twenty is just a couple of years short of still being a child, depending on definition. When people tell you that on the internet it's usally not an actual guess of your age range, they are telling you that you're acting childish.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The secret is to not care about what people on the internet think or say. You do you 💜

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

thank you very much for that!! Please be yourself too always. Thank you!!

talks like a child

is surprised people think they're a child

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

q.q

Perhaps this?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

I'm a teenager and I don't talk like that.

Just:

Capitalize your sentences Stop spamming emoticons, emojis, and exclamation marks Don't be naive Use common sense

And you'll be fine.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

People in their 20s are still basically teenagers.

The brain doesn't finish developing until 25, but in the US, they're full adults when they're 18 (and they can drive when they're 16!)

Your typing and mannerisms are very child-like, and your responses show a naivety indicative of immaturity. Not an insult, just an observation, but I did see your post a few days ago, and the statement "Xenia wouldn't say that," struck me as... Prepubescent.

OP's giving off huge "holds up spork" vibes

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I feel that reference is older than they are and so will be lost on them.
