No Stupid Questions
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.

Americans are mostly super loud. You can hear them from forever away like they're competing to be the loudest in any space. ~ someone originally from the US that had this pointed out to me.
My friend, I'll refer you to map #14, which holds true. There's also a billion people living south of these maps who I can tell you from experience, make most Americans seem demure.
Whomever made that map has never met someone from Amsterdam.
Sure. The post asked specifically about Americans and, perhaps by virtue of living in East Asia, I haven't run into that many loud Europeans lately.
My point is that there's a lot of loud people in the world. Really, most of the world is loud and only has an outdoor voice. I can hear my neighbors talking to her grandkids in her yard, 15 meters away, on the other side of a hedge and trees, with all the doors and windows closed in my house. There's no change when she's talking to me 1 meter away. I'm convinced it's that a lot places like parties with deafening loud music and everyone has undiagnosed hearing damage.
Stereotypes sort of rely on the stereotype being at least somewhat unique. Might as well say Americans eat bland food and ignore all the other places that also eat relatively bland food.
However, congratulations on never having been besieged by Russian tourists.
I met one really drunk Russian guy years ago, but the bar was so loud everyone basically had to yell so I can't really count it
Fair. If you've never had a swarm of pasty-pink round noise and smoke machines basically ruin a day at the beach, count yourself lucky.
I just went to a restaurant yesterday and there was a couple from the US sitting behind us and they were so loud, they were even starting conversations with people on the adjacent tables, one of them were German (I think) and pretended not to speak English, and kept bothering everyone next to them.
I'm not that bothered about loud Americans. Italians are worse.
