A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity 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 !askusa@discuss.online

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

What's your country's version of the blue/green bubble? (sh.itjust.works)

For those who don't know:

Texts from iPhone to iPhone appear as blue bubbles, while texts from Android users appear as green.

For many in the US who still use SMS to communicate, the blue/green bubble divide is a huge source of social conflict.

What's your version of "If everyone knew this was a thing in my country, they'd think it was silly"?

Wow, this is so quaint! I totally love this, thank you for explaining.
And I will now make sure to use the correct pronunciation during my next visit to the Isles (hopefully next year...)!

Just make sure you know which order to put your jam and clotted cream (or clotted cream and jam) on your scone before you come!

Does it matter if I put milk in earl grey or lemon?

Oh no, this is getting increasingly complicated... from a combinatorical perspective alone I now already see the potential of mortally insulting 3/4 of the people I will be meeting... 😯
