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.

So, they’d keep Mother’s Day? The one invented by consumerism? But abandon the other ones that drive even more sales? Does that include Thanksgiving/Black Friday?
Thanksgiving is about the only holiday I give a rats ass about. Ignore the fucked up history, ignore the bullshit stories about the Pilgrims.
I do two things on Thanksgiving. Find simple things to be thankful for in my life, and eat good food.
Yeah, just ignore and forget the genocide that happened for you to ‘celebrate’ by indulging.
Nothing more American than that.
You're right; we must spend all hours of all days contemplating historical injustice. No happiness allowed!
Thanksgiving and black Friday are not religious so they'd stay I imagine.
Thanksgiving is very much religious — who do you think they were thanking?
Black Friday though is very much corporations thanking their marketing departments.
Valentine’s day celebrates St. Valentine, St. Patrick’s day is obvious, Halloween or All Hallows Evening is all about the next day being All Saints Day. Easter is also obvious.
Hanukkah is religious, Diwali is religious, Ramadan is religious.
Pretty much every holiday that lines up with a celestial event has multiple religious holidays clustering around it.
Even Chinese New Year could be considered religious, although Western and Orthodox New Years are arguably not.
