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've seen it a few times now and I have no idea what it's supposed to mean.

For that matter, I don't know what it's supposed to mean period.

https://emojigraph.org/wheel/

Displayed as a classical wooden wheel for a dray or modern car wheel with a tire depending on the platform. May be used in the context of "reinventing the wheel."

I see a modern car wheel on Memmy iOS.

So far, we've got an old fashioned spoke wheel, a modern car wheel and a bunch of lines. What the heck?

[โ€“] teft@startrek.website 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Screenshot so you can see it on iOS

Wow yeah, interesting! I'm on Sync/Android and it's a brown wagon wheel for me.

The Unicode standard just specified a "wheel". A particular amusing (read: drama inducing) case is with the ๐Ÿ”ซ emoji: Unicode specified it as "Pistol", but depending on your font (and version), it can either appear as a water gun, or a musket or revolver.

Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), all major vendors have now switched over to a water gun, so no more amusing forum threads cases by the different meanings.

So in addition to the interpretation being unclear, there is also no real standard for emoji.

Same in Jerboa for Android.

Yes, I'm aware this may differ depending on your specific brand of Android phone. In that case, nobody cares.

Am I the only one who thought 'Dharma Wheel'?

[โ€“] ingy@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

An secretive elite group of users rumored to be able to obtain the great power of root.

Looks like a carriage wheel to me
