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.

First, a little context.

So this might have nothing to do with anything, but being ignorant about it, I'd like to at least make an attempt to figure out.

I don't actually know very many gay people in person.

I have this one gay friend that lived near my childhood house. He's like 10 years younger than me, he's really more of my younger sibling's friend than mine, but he's often around when I see them, and we've had a bunch of weed sessions together. Anyway, I have him on snap because of this.

On to the main question.

He sends a lot of selfies to his story that have him with his tongue just hanging out as far as it goes. Given his flamboyance, I assume this means something gay, but I'm not sure.

I feel like on Lemmy this goes without saying, but I'm totally supportive of that (in stark contrast to how I grew up), but this is such an odd quirk that I've never even heard mentioned in any other circumstance.

I don't necessarily think it's a cutesy promiscuous thing, he's had a boyfriend for a couple years now.

Is this face gesture a thing? Or maybe it's just a him thing...?

Somebody here let me know.

Oh for sure. This guy is just flamboyant as hell and it just kinda seemed like this was part of it. No one else I've known did that. Again, small sample size bias, but that's why I thought to ask before assuming. I came here to see if these 2s added up to 4 just based on the vibe I felt.
