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.

Appears to be an old fashioned wooden spoke wheel. A cart wheel, as in, the wheel of an old cart. Connotations would presumably be mostly related to "rolling".

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Oh weird. That's totally not what I see. Maybe it's a Mac thing?

This is what I see:

If your OS doesn't support the emoji, it shows an empty or placeholder image. If you see that icon, you can copy it to clipboard and paste to search here: https://emojipedia.org/

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks. I honestly didn't realize it was that it didn't support the emoji. I thought the horizontal lines WAS the emoji and I was just not getting what it meant.

Screenshot of this thread on Android so you can see what it looks like for others

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Not all others. Another person said it's a modern car wheel for them.

I saw, and now I think it's by app for us on phones, then, as my normal android emoji keyboard has a completely different set of wheels when look at them in other apps. I use Connect and see a wagon wheel, the other guy is on Memmy and sees a modern one, kinda curious what the other apps see

[–] sarjalim@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I also use Connect. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, I think it has to do with the emoji collection on the device rather than a specific app. Screenshot of emoji with modern car wheel in Connect app

Thunder here, it's a wagon wheel

[–] Alchemy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That’s what it is for me on iphone using Firefox, the modern wheel.

[–] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

On iOS it’s a modern car wheel strangely enough

[–] ekky43@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I see a box with a cross in the middle, as in the icon for "unsupported icon" . I imagine it's the same for you.

I'm on android.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I see a bunch of horizontal lines.

[–] ekky43@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Well, yea, I can see that, but I imagine the bunch of horizontal lines is how your device tells you that it encountered an "unsupported icon".

[–] TonyOstrich@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I don't think so, I see an old spoke wheel on Android running Liftoff.
