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.

I (32 F) like the look/vibe (love the flannel/plaid look especially). I also like how intimidating they can be. I'm not sure how I'd go about trying to find one, though.

Try the local flat roof pub. If you’re not sure where it is, listen for the barking of the XL Bully left neglected in the back yard.

Ready to get knocked up and then knocked about? That's the Chav-life.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

Yer either knocking her up or knocking her down

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ladbrokes is a good start. Job Centre. Gym (boxing gyms usually). Race riots.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

Race riots.

Hahaha

I don't really feel like redneck is the appropriate parallel. It just feels off.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago (15 children)

Yeah, a UK chav is more like a US white guy that acts and dresses like a black guy.

A bogan and a redneck are roughly equivalent, but a bogan and a hillbilly also works.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Nah but Chavs are illiterate and uneducated like rednecks just less country and more urban

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I'm guessing you don't know any rednecks.

Chavs and yobs would actively fight with rednecks.

Worst of the British urban population and worst of the American rural population. They wouldn't xo exist

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 week ago

Move to a rural town. That's all we got around here!

Lend your car out freely. Cosign for things. Make it clear you don't like condoms.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I feel like if @themeatbridge and @frenchfryenjoyer started dating, it would have to be a poly relationship. You'd need a 3rd person with a username that refers to some kind of drink.

Then you could have the aqua teen hunger force!!!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I lol'd. Great job

Send msgs via baby goats you let loose in the country side. Worked for my aunt. Then again she was serial killer, but I think the tactic still applies

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

Chavs don't wear flannel. They wear polyester tracksuits.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Based on your definition of chav (I too thought tracksuits, trainers, and UK urban slang), think about the kind of hobbies folks like this do. Dunno if it's an exact equivalent, but if someone was looking for a redneck here in Canada, they'd be going to car and truck shows/events, hunting events, small town bars, fishing derbies, small circuit pro-wrestling events, farm/harvest festivals, county fairs, that kind of thing.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

Idk literally any club on a Saturday. You're asking where to find air to breathe here.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

Hi yes, i am 30 and wear flannels and get too drunk on the weeknds. You can call me the man of your dream, NDB.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Flannel? Intimidating? Have you considered a big 'ol Bull Dyke?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

PNW, we call plaid flannel wearing dudes lumbersexual.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Do y'all have trailer parks in the UK? 🤔

Though the flannel thing doesn't need to be a chav/redneck/bogan. They could just be hella into grunge and admire Kurt Cobain.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Or they might be Mick Foley.

Hey OP? Does you "chav" need to have all his teeth? Because I wouldn't call Mick Foley a redneck, but he IS missing teeth from falling off of Hell in a Cell. Which is a cage that's about 20 feet tall.

Imagine just waking up one day and saying to yourself "I'm going to go to work today, and I'm going to throw myself off a ledge onto a concrete floor. With the only thing to break my fall being a wooden table and a nearby steel guardrail. If I throw myself too far, I'll most certainly be hurt or dead. And I won't tell ANYBODY that I'm going to do this. So no safety measures will be set in place beforehand. In fact, I'm going to force my coworker, who has a broken foot, to ALSO climb a chainlink fence cage, with nothing in the cage made easier to climb.....again, because nobody knew ahead of time that was the plan."

Ever wake up, and just think that's what you want to do at work? Or that's what you want your boyfriend to do?

I guess what I'm trying to say is.....go watch hell in a cell. It's insane. Even moreso when you consider that the only people who knew the plan long ahead of time, were Mick, and Terry Funk (who was not supposed to be part of the match at all).

The Undertaker only knew the plan that day. He was NOT happy he had to climb that thing.....and he didn't know he'd have to climb it a second time until it was happening. I mean seriously. Who was going to expect a 300lbs man to crash to the floor, and then think he'd INSIST on standing up, pushing medical staff away who were legitimately telling him "no, stay down! You're going to the hospital!", pushes them away and runs back to climb the cage again?

And thats when he almost died....

Guys! What I'm trying to say is go watch hell in a cell. It's like watching 9/11 without the tragedy or terrorism.

Your comment reminded me of the user on Reddit who would start out a comment talking about the whatever and then halfway through it became about Undertaker throwing Mankind off Hell in a Cell.

Edit: ShittyMorph is the user.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Best thing on Reddit, always made me laugh 😁

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

When I saw the hell in a cell reference I got a little excited. Then slightly sad

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago
