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.

Cars younger than last century have two modes of indicator available.
[ BMW, Merc and Audi drivers: nothing to see here. Not in this whole post and comments. ]
A soft push in either direction gives a brief - I don't know what the definition/legal requirement is - period where the indicator flashes before cancelling itself.
A harder push has the indicator stay in that position until the steering wheel or the driver cancels it and it stops.
Maybe you're complaining about people using the soft mode.
In my country, there is no requirement to indicate when moving back to your lane after moving into the/a overtaking lane. I think that's a little weird tbh. I've always indicated, wherever I'm going, on the basis that when I don't, someone will sideswipe me through my own negligence.
Of course, these days the sodding lane-change Nazi in my car won't let me pass any line, but happily forcefully steers me into the hedgerow/ditches on country lanes where there are no road markings. You can turn it off every time but not generally.
”cars younger than last century..." Is incredibly misleading
Some vehicles have this feature sure, and adoption is gaining, but there's many many vehicles from the first 2 decades of this century that do not have this feature
Oh ok.
I haven't been to a circus recently. My knowledge in that area is wanting, I'll admit. 😳
