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.

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.

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.

Fun facts (which are just things I read on the internet once and may not actually be facts at all):
A lot of what we perceive as "ninja" appearances are misconceptions. Ninjas didn't wear all-black outfits; that's actually a trope that came from old Japanese theater performances. Stagehands would wear all-black outfits so they would blend in with the background as they were moving props and set pieces around, and audiences would generally ignore them as they knew that they weren't part of the "act". In one performance, a "stagehand" attacks an actor, and it's meant to catch the audience off-guard as the stagehand is meant to be "invisible", but that's actually the ninja's stealthy disguise making them invisible to the audience.
Actual ninjas were typically dressed in normal streetwear, as blending into crowds was generally more important than blending into the foliage.
And I believe if they were on a nightly stealth mission they would wear dark blue and not black.
And grey
Yeah, black weirdly tends to be easier to see in the dark than some other colors. It often ends up looking darker than the surrounding darkness. Slightly lighter colors like brown and gray don't contrast with the background as much and are much harder to pick out in the dark. People who have owned a black dog and a brown dog at the same time will have probably noticed that effect. At least that's where I noticed it.
That is a fun fact
As soon as someone knows you're a ninja, you're not a ninja.
What would happen if two Ninjas come across each other?
They swap cables and enjoy the music.

When man sinks… he know.
It should match the amount of wood a woodchuck would chuck.
All of it. You should generally be unseen.
I'm starting to think I'm in this ninja business for all the wrong reasons.
I count 16 ninjas in that photo. How many did I miss?
There are 50 ninjas and two unrecognized apprentices in the Union.
This is why pirates win in the end, the ninja exploitation of their youth will backfire.
If you know how to make a circle eight-sided transforming shuriken, you are a certified ninja.

If you never catch a falling mug without spilling it’s contents, do you even ninja?
Not if someone is watching, because then they know
