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 agree with the comments, but it's also about how the word is used in the US. Cunt is really only ever used as a derogatory term for a woman. Usually a woman who isn't subservient enough, or that doesn't align with stupid 'traditional' values. So the reason it is egregious is because it is used hatefully by bigots. And decent people don't want to be associated with that.

That might explain it better. In other places, we don't discriminate, we apply 'cunt' to men as well as women. Example: That cunt in the white Audi has been hogging the overtaking lane for 3 miles.

Edit: Seems we found the cunt in the white Audi...

Your example fits how I used the word.

I do appreciate the effort to reclaim cunt though. It’s got a fun mouth feel. Very sharp.

“Serving cunt” is an example

[–] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

For a second I thought you were talking about the object and not the word until the third sentence jarred me back to reality… my bad.

I use it on occasion, but usually when I’m really trying to articulate how much someone is an asshole.

Or it’s nice if used during sexy times 🤭

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It adds a real strong emphasis when needed haha

That's funny, I always feel awkward when using cunt in the bedroom. Pussy somehow sounds better in sexy situations? But I hate it otherwise hahaha

[–] dkppunk@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I get it! I just love hearing “you have such a pretty cunt” lol 🫣

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh well....I mean when you put it that way goodness. That is kinda hot!

[–] dkppunk@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

Right! It’s all about the context 😊

[–] Today@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I work with some cunts. They're not cunty because their non-traditional. They're just dumb as fuck and treat people like shit.

[–] daggermoon@piefed.world 5 points 1 week ago

To me a cunt is just an asshole or disrespectful person.

American gay folk use the word like Europeans and antipodeans
