Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I got the autographs of the original Black Sabbath lineup at a promo for their reunion tour in 99 or 2000. Ozzy smudged his marker so I got his fingerprint as a bonus.
Got my dad a Ted Nugent autograph since I knew he was a fan. He was at the local sportsman's gear show, so I was cool with going to that anyway. I think that's the first time I saw a live bald eagle up close, so that was really cool. Ted played some guitar, which was good, and then gave a really strange talk. I only later learned everything else about Ted other than he liked to hunt, so that is a very mixed experience in hindsight.
Got Jerry Lawler's at a ComicCon where he was promoting his comic. Got Adam West's there too.
The ex got the Ghost Hunters' at a different ComicCon. She was very excited, but I had no idea who they were at the time.
When I was a kid I wrote to a few baseball rookies and got their autographs. I still have them somewhere, but nobody who ever became anybody. There was a player with the same name as me that I wrote a few times, but he never wrote back. Jerk.
Those are all the ones I can think of.
