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.

I know the Mariah Carey song is hated because its overused, but its also objectively a well produced piece of pop music.

My favorite though is O Holy Night. Performed well I want to stop and listen to it. It moves me, and I dont give enough of a fuck about religion to call myself an athiest.

Christmas Rapping by the Waitresses

It's a Gamer's Christmas! - The Chalkeaters feat. PiNKII is an amusing song. Their Skyrim song is fantastic too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

The only Christmas-related media I like in any capacity, is the OG Grinch cartoon. So Thurl Ravenscroft is the only person I wanna hear singing on Christmas.

This is the only video I could find outside of Spotify. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIhoC89kVVQ

I really like Chris Rea's "Driving home for Christmas", but have to say this version by Angelina Jordan is superb

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

The Twisted Sister version of Oh Come All Ye Faithful.

I got two...

David Letterman ain't wrong. Darlene Love nails it

Sometimes you have to work on Christmas

Jonah Lewie's Stop The Cavalry is quite good

You can say that Mariah Carey's sing is well produced, but I heard her version of Auld Lang Syne yesterday and it actually made me want to smash my TV and commit a hate crime

Gulajh Gulajhah Gwanghwamun by the Human Centipedes.

Slappin’ tune.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I'm with you on team "O holy night", my favourite version is Andy Williams', closely followed by Perry Como's!

Vulfpeck's Christmas in LA is a bop

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

In my country we have song that came from a advent calender, called "jul på Vesterbro" and its my all time favorite (link to YouTube). Note that it's the same actor that plays every role

A Very Polish Christmas by Sabadu.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Skank For Christmas - Reel Big Fish. Their Happy Skalidays album is great. I make it a yearly thing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I am Muslim, so I don't celebrate it. My favourite song is [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtyVp8UuN8g)

https://youtu.be/K6nxWui4qD8?si=NK5ZV0zmKYkXhN75 Love this song. And yes I do work retail. And fuck everyone. Be nice to the retail workers.

Let It Snow, in particular the version at the end of Die Hard.

Or the Picard version, Make It So.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

For me it’s the organ noells composed by Louis Claude D’aquin. https://youtu.be/rc3fl62G1ec?si=89vCI-NmbMUnD9Cy

Not a religion fan or a country music fan, but just thinking about Martina McBride singing O Holy Night makes me tear up a little.

Edit: erroneously said Trisha Yearwood when I meant Martina McBride

Sufjan Stevens - Sister Winter

Such a beautiful tune, starts so slow and haunting and ends up so hopeful.

Jackie Evancho's 'Someday at Christmas' Album is great.

First to Eleven's Christmas covers are mostly good rock versions of the popular pop songs.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

As an atheist, I don't like religious xmas music. But I love these songs based on the Cthulhu Mythos. The HP Lovecraft Historical Society did a fantastic job on them! I have 2 CDs of xmas holiday music from them (much more than this playlist has), and an adaptation of The Fidder on the Roof called A Shoggoth on the Roof.

I searched and found this playlist of alternate carols last week.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqAaxjrofZ669u1edytC5otNjn_EWuRVt

A cheerful mix of science, cthuhlu, and athiestic themed carols.

Jona Lewie - Stop The Cavalry. Apparently not originally intended as a Christmas song anyway.
