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.

Your last post is a TIL once you have peed yourself, public transit has all sorts of unspoken rules.

Posted a minute before this one. Nice catch.

Thanks!

Admittedly, it helped that I already had OP tagged as "worrying incel."

What advice do you have for me?

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

Therapy.

Your analysis of your own interactions seems wildly off. I would talk to a professional. You seem fairly young so if your parents have extended benefits, they may still cover you.

Yup! I'm using connect and if I click the three dots at the bottom right of a comment, one of the options is "add user note." I find it super helpful!

What am I tagged as?

In Japan the bus drivers went on strike by offering passengers free rides rather than leave them stranded

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

In America, if they did that, the bus company would sue the drivers for the cost of fuel and wear/tear on the bus.

And win.

He was behind schedule. If he could catch up, he wouldn't be penalized. That's real money for him personally. The fare goes to his company.

You were being transferred to a new facility, and inmates aren't expected pay a fare.

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

So this is a troll account?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

Just because someone's persona isn't serious, doesn't necessarily make them a troll.

Real life is hilarious if you pay attention

It's Dullbanana. Dude's probably the youngest in Lemmy dev team iirc.

Because they don't have change?

Happened to me before. The ATM only gives out 20s but the driver only wants small coins, only cash is accepted.

It happened in several countries and it's still a mystery to me how you're supposed to get small change when you're fresh off the airplane or something (or why they don't just take card).

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Possibly because that bus system has no fare, or they were having an exasperating day, or you are so bad at paying a fare that its easier just to have you sit down?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

We all know which one it is.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

The public bus system doesn't want you to know this one simple trick..

Where i am if the ticketing machine is down the diver will ask people to take a seat without paying. They usually use the same phrase as your driver.
