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.

first of all, i don't identify as latino, sorry!!! but anyway when i talk about mexico being treated the same way as canada, i mean,, for example when it comes to prices,, canada and usa have both of their dollars on the back of stuff, like if you bought a book in canada in the back it would say "10 usd/10 cad", but no mexican currency? isn't mexico also the neighbor and both nations have good ties?? it should be treated with the same level of important stuff

Mate, how is that funny?

In a multicultural environment, you don’t always identify with the culture you were born into.

[–] Twentytwodividedby7@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It's funny because OP leads with stating they don't identify as Latino, and then proceeds to ask a question that has absolutely nothing to do with identity.

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Because if they did consider themself Latino, it might sound more like a personal complaint instead of just a general question.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 4 points 1 day ago

Yeah, nah, that was confusing as eh.

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Absolutely.

Genetically I'm around 50% descended from people of a culture that I simply wasn't raised in, which is associated with a religion I never practiced (as opposed to the different religion I left)

Based on looks I could easily identify as that culture and strangers wouldn't question it. They also don't question my lack of doing so.
