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.

It infuriates me too, my mother sometimes forgets to do it, and when we told her, she said she did put them on, so I assume that a lot of people forget to turn them on.
Some other people simply don't care, "why would I need to do it, it's not their business" is one phrase I read somewhere.
Personally, I always put them, even in empty parking lots with no soul around, better to always have the habit even when it isn't necessary, that forget to do something because you actively have to choose to do the task, when it should be automatic.
I’m like you: I don’t care if no one is around. People act like it’s some force of nature to muster the strength to signal.
I was parking my car two days ago, at a nearly full car park. This 50-something guy double parked while parking, so I let him know that he's double parked, and his response was "I know" and walked away. Why the fuck are people like this? He deserves to crash and break his legs so he's in a wheelchair for a little while.
This is close to my personal take on the subject; "you don't turn on your signal for the car you saw, you do it (especially) for the car you didn't see"
Yea I signal even when I think no one is around. Because what if I just didn’t see someone? I don’t want to hit someone or get hit.
I'm kinda in between...I don't signal in empty parking lots and rarely at 3am on the highway
But when I'm not totally alone and I intend to change lanes, my pinky flicks before I think about it or look to see if the land is open - I flick it back off if I realize I'd cut someone off regularly
