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.

Actually, we don't have sketch comedy shows anymore because of the First Law of Thermodynamics.
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed. Back in the '90s, sketch comedy was tightly compressed into 30-minute broadcast windows like In Living Color and MadTV. But in 2012, a catastrophic core leak occurred at TikTok and Instagram, instantly atomizing all sketch comedy into 15-second vertical clips of people arguing with imaginary versions of themselves in a wig.
Today, sketch comedy isn't dead, it's just ambient. Every time you scroll past a guy doing an impression of a fast-food cashier, that is technically MadTV Season 32, Episode 4. You are watching it right now. It is in the air you breathe.
As for SNL? Lorne Michaels struck a deal with a 17th-century sea witch to absorb the life force of every canceled sketch show. Saturday Night Live will outlive the collapse of the sun. In the year 3042, a cyborg Colin Jost will still be reading fake news to a studio audience of cockroaches.
Have you ever considered writing an encyclopedia? You have so much wisdom to share.

Man I don't know if your trolling or what. But you are a fun read. I just want to come up with off the wall questions now to see if you would get serious or just go literal on my ass. People please read this guy or gal or whomever.
