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.

You are supposed to get out of the way. Stop if you can, if you can't because you're in an intersection, go through and pull over at the nearest available curb. If you are at a red light and the emergency vehicle is behind you, slowly pull out into the intersection as soon as it is safe to do so and drive through and pull over when you leave the intersection to allow the emergency vehicle through. This is the only time you may legally run a red light, but you cannot just blow through the intersection. Basically try not to wait for the emergency vehicle to tell you to go through, but also don't drive like a BMW driver.
Blocking an emergency vehicle, or refusing to let it pass, is a crime in basically every state.
Typically, do not keep driving. Pull to the right, stop, and wait until the emergency vehicle has passed you. This is supposed to be done even if the emergency vehicle is on the other side of the road. The exception to this is if there is a divider in the middle of the road, for example a curb or island. However, if there is no physical divider in the road, you must pull over in case the emergency vehicle needs to make a u-turn or enter oncoming traffic lanes for any reason.
Also I find use your turn signals to let them know which way you are moving out of the way
We know, they already said “not like a BMW driver” 😏
Remember, if you ever feel your job is useless, someone, somewhere is installing turn signals in BMWs.
It's a robot now, and its job is useless
"What is my purpose?"
"You install the BMW turn signals."
Yes, you are supposed to signal for all lane changes. All driving laws still apply, but emergency vehicle laws supercedes them.
A couple times I've seen firetrucks drive over the median to the other side of the road if traffic is backed up so you should still be cautious if you are on the opposite side of the median.
Yeah but that is HIGHLY unusual, so while you do still habe to yield to the firetruck once its intentions are made clear, they still must make sure that everyone is aware of what they're doing and out of the way. If it just whips it over a median and hits someone it's their fault.
