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.

More like there's better things to worry about than the psuedo-history of a cool symbol. Can't spend your life worrying about what randoms might think, because there will always be someone upset.
Also I did some googling. Nothing came up for the American monochrome "no quarter" flag. What did come up was old pirate flags. I honestly think he just made it up for the article.
Edit: heres the wikipedia article: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_quarter
Super side track, what do you think of Tampa Bay Buccaneer fans? Pittsburg Pirates fans? The Pirate Bay torrent site? Disney, who produced the Pirates of the Carribean?
you sure seem upset about what people here think about this racist flag you seem so eager to defend. why don’t you practice what you preach?
Ah, I see. You redefined racist to mean "I don't like this"
now who’s seeing things that aren’t there? lmao.
And you didn't anwser my questions about the sports teams
because it’s a
I can google memes, too
funny how the flag under discussion isn’t shown or mentioned on this page.
Exactly my point. I think the dude made it up.
no that’s you cherry-picking your sources.
got this fun meme from another comment!
Its literally the wikipedia article for no-quarter flags. What more do you want?
a wikipedia article that doesn’t even mention the flag under discussion, lmao.
what I want is less of you defending racism and racist symbols, but I think that’s asking too much from you.
Also, he called it a no-quarter flag, said it's racist because it's a no-quarter flag. And then I showed the wikipedia article for no-quarter flags, and nothing on that page shows a monochrome american flag. And when shown you were wrong, you claimed wikipedia is cherry picking. this is a waste of time.
Dammit, forgot to block you too, ya disingenuous scum. Fuck off and never return.
aren’t you the one who said you didn’t want to waste your time with this, then wound’t leave? lmao
Just because some asshat called it racist doesn't mean its racist.
you’re welcome to keep defending racism and racist symbols while claiming that. I’m sure other racists will believe you.
