No Stupid Questions
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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

It kind of depends on what kind of clown you want to be.
There are clown colleges that you can go to which will help you make connections that can lead to circus jobs. They also teach you about the different types of classic clown tropes, and will help you narrow down to the specific skill set that works for you. Here is a website that will help you find clown colleges:

Rodeo clowns are a different breed altogether. To become a rodeo clown, you need to be somewhat insane, have no fear of death by trampling, and then you need to hang out at rodeos to make the right connections. Finding some basic job at a rodeo would be a good start, and then you can work your way into the clown role once they recognize that you are completely bonkers and willing to stand in front of a charging bull.
Party clowns are essentially entrepreneurs. You need to develop the skills on your own, and then find someone to give you a shot at their kids birthday party. Relationships are essential—don’t be afraid to ask your clients for referrals, and make sure you are professional, personable, and entertaining at all times around them. It is a hard road, but like any freelance business, once you get the ball rolling in your area, you have the potential to carve out a decent career. It is especially important that you use your connections for a broader reputation among schools and churches because eventually the first wave of kids will grow up, and you will need to transition into the next generation.
til there's such thing as clown schools
Clown colleges. Some of the ones in France are downright prestigious.
I heard the ones in France are a bit funny with the rules. they don't have rules against clowning around
