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.

what was the joke meaning, i don't watch south park

[–] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 35 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Say it out loud.

"Do you like fish sticks?"

'Yeah

"Then you're a gay fish."

Kanye in the show didn't get it and thought people were calling him a gay fish. So if real Kanye didn't get the joke, and got mad because he thought South Park was calling him a gay fish... that's just incredible.

Are you by chance kanye west? In all seriousness it's because fish sticks sounds like fish dicks

[–] Knuschberkeks@feddit.de 17 points 7 months ago (4 children)

Oooooooooooh... I might not be Kanye, but it seems I am of similar intelligence.

[–] JeffKerman1999@sopuli.xyz 11 points 7 months ago

Nah I think it's overthinking the thing while it's a juvenile joke. I got it after I thought about it a lot

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Sounds like someone likes putting fish sticks in their mouth...

[–] rebelsimile@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago

You would probably get a kick out of the episode after this.

so you believe you're the greatest and smartest creature of all time? whoaaaa duuuude

[–] whoreticulture@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Isn't that still a roundabout way of calling him a gay fish?

[–] False@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

If you're 8 years old then sure.

[–] whoreticulture@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Why else would "fish dicks" be funny?

[–] False@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The recipents reaction is a jab at their lack of self awareness

[–] whoreticulture@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 7 months ago

I don't see how self awareness has to do with anything here

[–] TopRamenBinLaden@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago

It could technically be a round about way of calling him a heterosexual female fish.

[–] Azzu@lemm.ee 6 points 7 months ago

Fish sticks... Fish's dicks...

The kids came up with the joke:

“Do you like fish sticks?” (Pronounced like “fish dicks”)

Then, when the person said yes, they’d call them a gay fish.

The joke becomes a meme, but Kanye West doesn’t get it, despite having it explained to him. He thinks the joke is directed at him personally, and does actual scientific research to find out why people think he is a gay fish. At the end of the episode, he accepts his fate, and decides to live as a gay fish (complete with a catchy autotuned song.)
