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.

When has the American remake been better than the original?
Don't say The Office because the first two seasons of that are almost identical to the UK version, then it goes downhill.
Peep Show was attempted and failed.
The Inbetweeners was also shite.
Absolutely Fabulous was attempted and wasn't commissioned.
As if was cancelled after two episodes.
Broadchurch was cancelled after one season.
Coupling was cancelled after 4 episodes.
The IT Crown was cancelled after the pilot.
Red Dwarf had two US pilots but was never picked up.
Spaced was only a pilot.
I'll add The Thick of It even though the OG pilot wasn't picked up. However Veep is pretty successful.
I think "better" might be the wrong question.
*When has the American not been redundant when compared with the original?" Might be more appropriate.
As a Aussie I appreciated the original productions of Wilfred and Review as the surrealist masterpieces they are. That said the US remakes told their own stories. Saying one is better than the other ignores the fact they both have value and are doing their own thing.
Wilfred was amazing, I only saw the American version though. Such a weird experience.
They made a US version of Spaced?? This I have to see. It's SO British in tone.
Found it!
