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.

It’s not enforced in the US at all.
Just like how keeping to the right except to pass isn’t.
These are both state-level laws and vary across the country.
There are but I've never seen it enforced. I've watched cops get stuck behind people in the left lane who aren't passing (presumably because they'd have to exceed the speed limit to do so and there was a cop behind them) even though the law was that you couldn't go more than a certain distance in the left lane without passing someone. This happened dozens of times.
I was living in Colorado a few years back as a new teenage driver and the law, which I was at the time unaware of, was indeed enforced upon me. Granted I didn't get a ticket, but I was pulled over and handed a warning slip from the police officer.
That depends on how the cops feeling. A guy I used to work with got pulled over for doing the speed limit in the left lane for "impeding traffic"
This needs to happen way more often.
If I were a traffic cop, I’d pretty much just enforce this one law. All day. Every day. Left lane squatter? Straight to jail.
It's the passing lane, not the speed limit lane. Glad he got a ticket.
Dude was old and drove like an ass. I used to tell him he was gonna get his driver's license taken away and he was gonna have to drive the forklift home on the shoulder of the highway every day lol
There's a cop in Wells, Nevada that likes to drive ten under the speed limit and then pull people with out of state license plates over for "passing a cop". So, y'know, a lot of traffic rules are arbitrary.
Passing a cop is illegal?
Limit's 55. I'd be doing 55. He was doing 45. He wrote 70 on the ticket. It was cheaper to pay than to travel 800 miles to contest the ticket, which had to be done in person. So yeah, he made it illegal.
And was probably just waiting for you to lose your cool so he could make it much worse for you
Oh definitely. Dad made us do martial arts at the local police captain's dojo so we knew how to handle ourselves around police. Also because he needed to bribe them after taking a wrongful death case against a local cop and they kept pulling him over for "broken" taillights. It was an enlightening experience.
They weren’t broken before you pulled me… cracks here’s my license and registration.
I was just going back through some of my replies.
Jesus criss Angel. Dad trained us in martial arts in the fucking dojo that the police captain owned.
Let's stop right there
You are a liar. I hope you don't do this in person and get it all out online.
Fuck you. Fuck pathological lying and all liars and the lies they say.
Get help or else you fucking shit bag liar.
That's a bitch of a cop.
