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 became vaguely aware of this... fashion trend? a few years ago on reddit. And it seems there is now at least one Lemmy community devoted to it.

So genuine question - is all streetwear just an elaborate joke, like when that guy put a urinal in an art museum to make a point about the nature of art? Because it seems like the unifying theme in streetwear is that it all looks like it is intentionally bad. Like the designer saw all the ways normal people dressed themselves poorly, and emphasized those traits. If I saw someone walking down the street in clothes I normally see posted on /c/streetwear, I would wonder what kind of bet they lost.

Do I just not "get" art? Am I now just one of the olds? What is going on here?

Like are you saying you would have to lose a bet to wear this outfit?

I guess it isn't an "I lost a bet outfit". But leopard print jacket + jorts is like combining two different kinds of trashy that clash synergistically. And this wasn't an outfit that was just thrown together to buy milk. Guy intentionally put together the outfit, took a picture, posted it on the internet, and listed the articles of clothing he is wearing so others could replicate the look.

It's not my style but it doesn't stand out to me. Also, to each their own. So I'd say the answer to your question is the last one you suggested - you're one of the olds now. Please, try to stay benevolent and empathetic to the younger or just different ones.

He listed the items because that's the rules of the sub.
