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 love Journey. But for some reason I hated, “Don’t Stop Believin” and I could not understand why I loathed that song until I recently rewatched The Sopranos for the second time after 16 years and the final episode had that song playing until the “blackout.” And now I know why…

Anyone else had a similar experience with a popular song that you couldn’t explain why it rubbed you the wrong way?

I really disliked how The Sopranos ended!

Van Halen's Jump comes to mind first, although my reason is just how overplayed it was.

I suppose one that I disliked a long while for a different reason is Bring Me to Life by Evanescence. I later remembered it was playing on the radio in my mother's car when we arrived at the hospital after I drove her and my sister into the city to say goodbye to my dying father. He died a few hours later.

Unbelievable. That song (Evanescence) came on the radio when I had to give up one of my dogs for being too aggressive after I had my baby. It haunted me for years. I was a complete wreck after and I can’t listen to that song now.

But, yeah…I know hate is a strong word, but the Sopranos ending was the absolute worst. I hate it even now.

Don’t get me started on Jump! What were they thinking!?

‘Right guys, we’re one of the biggest rockbands in history right? And Edward, you’re one of the hottest guitar players since Hendrix are you not?

What if, and hear me out on this one, you don’t actually play any guitars in this song except maybe for the solo?’

Drives me crazy that that’s become their most popular son!

eddie was actually pretty hesitant on releasing jump for that very reason

I can see why that would be the case.

It pained me to see the obituary news items for one of the greatest guitarists ever to feature the one song where he isn’t even playing his guitar.
