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.

Most European languages seems to share a very large amount of their respective alphabets. The pronunciation may be different but the symbol is the same.

Why?

Because most of them are based on very few languages, e.g. Latin.

But the Latin alphabet looks very different from the alphabet you see in most of these countries I'm referring to

Dark green is Latin based. It's like almost all of Europe. What countries do you speak of then?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

English, French, German, Spanish. The main languages descended from Latin. They all have extremely similar alphabets that imo don't resemble Latin characters at all.

You sure you've seen thr Latin alphabet? Maybe you've mixed it up with Greek? I'm not trying to be mean or anything, I'm just really confused... the pronunciation is certainly different but the characters are mostly same

You are completely correct that's exactly what I did lmao I apologize for the confusion.

Jajaja I read your comment a few times and only got more confused. Latin actually partially comes from Greek which is why there are several letters in common Edit: accidentally posted Spanish Wikipedia, my bad
