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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I think cats would have outrageously fake french accents.

[–] TheLunatickle@lemmy.zip 16 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Animals already have regional accents!

[–] Iamsqueegee@sh.itjust.works 10 points 16 hours ago

It’s been proven with cat’s meows. Distinct among various regions. And, they’re based on how human babies cry in those regions IIRC.

Meerkat 100% would have posh British accents with how they look around.

[–] palordrolap@fedia.io 5 points 14 hours ago

Ask the British (and apparently Australians too) about that and we might say meerkats are Russian on account of a very popular set of insurance TV advertisements.

That said, I haven't watched TV in earnest for a few years at this point, specifically before Russia fell from favour, so I'm not sure whether that's affected their popularity or not.

And I have no idea what we might have said prior to the ad campaign.

Pidgins would be Italians 100%

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 10 points 17 hours ago

The Goodfeathers!

[–] HerrVorragend@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Do you mean pigeons? If so, agreed.

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 6 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Pigeons would speak a pidgin language, obviously.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 hours ago

Would it be like "totes mid, fr, fr"? THAT pidgin?

[–] DebatableRaccoon@lemmy.ca 10 points 16 hours ago

Koalas would be Bogan. "Luk at mee n ah'll scratch ye eyes owt ya pommy cant!"

[–] Tangerine@scribe.disroot.org 2 points 12 hours ago

This reminds me of The Wild Thornberrys.

[–] FenderStratocaster@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

In my mind Grizzly Bears sound like Maggie Smith.

I didn't need a reason to reread Redwall, but you just gave me one
