!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'd been pronouncing it as "Mackle-more" but then I watched Todd In The Shadows' new video about him, and I swear he pronounced it "Mack-le-more" for half the video, and now I don't know which one is the real pronounciation and which one is the joke. I have no strong feelings about him as an artist one way or another but I'd feel like a dick if I'd been inadvertently clowning on him for over a decade.

Isn't "Hey Macklemore, can we go thrift shopping" canon?

[–] Broiled_Tofu@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I say "Mac-El-More"

I'll never change my ways

For the reddit-shy, link is a reddit thread from Macklemore announcing a new music video. Commenter asks how to pronounce it. He says "Mack-la-more. Should have picked an easier name". Another commenter asks why the kid in Thrift Shop says it the other way. No response.

Are you sure that isn't William Wallace looking for his sword?

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Is the "clay" silent?

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Perfect question for this community

[–] Akh@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

according to his song, it is pronounced mac la uh uh uh uh more

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Mac-L-more

So if you mean "el" like "el tigre chino", then that's correct. "L" just eliminates confusion.

I have no strong feelings about him as an artist

He makes super upbeat and stupid music 99% of the time, but he's got a lot more artistic credibility than most.

Can't remember if he was wealthy before music, or was just unsigned and smart about his money. But dude will at least stand by his principles even when it costs him money.

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Maybe it's 99% upbeat and stupid by airtime, but certainly not by content of the catalogue unless you're saying upbeat or stupid. It's the Lady Gaga move. Get the popular demand through the catchy, shallow/humorous stuff, use that to fund the deeper artistic endeavors.

I like the music but it's not in my rotation, so I hear nothing about his principles. What'd he stand by?

For a long time I though he was just a dude named Mack, Mack L'Amor.
