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.

I'd imagine they fake an American accent. Maybe Burbank, CA?

Speaking as an American, when I was doing the ren fair thing… I used a shitty French accent and told people it was burgundeon.

It’s bullshit, but a) it was different b) it was fun being “the bad guys”and picking fights (ahem duels) and c) the rest of my costume was fairly on point, as a musketeer- either one of the king’s or Cardinal Reicheleiu’s.

It was a really shitty French accent. I apologize to the French for that crime….

(edit, fixed my spelling error... its been a while...)

You're supposed to be the bad guy, tho. So you're not supposed to apologise for your crime.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

While we're working on your spelling, it's

Burgundian

Which, en français, would be

Bourguignon (boor geen yone)

But of course you weren't doing French, you were doing English in a terrible fake French accent so maybe your spelling is a more accurate representation!

p. s. You still have an extra e in Richelieu. Reich is more German than French

we will go with that and not my bad spelling and mobile being of no help.

Cardinal Reichelieu

The “evil mastermind” in Les Trois Mousquetaires by Dumas and with, uh, numerous adaptations into film as “The three musketeers”

He was a historical figure and the chief minister to King Louis XIII

I think they are just pointing out your spelling error. The name would be pronounced differently as you wrote it.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

ah, and we begin to see my problem.

So long as you sounded like the French knight in Monty Python and the holy grail, you'll have a good chunk of Britain backing you up.
