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.

I heard that French people take off work much of May and then all of August. Are you French?
Also do waiters eat after lunch and dinner service? or do they shove their faces quickly during meal service?
There is not strict rules for days off in France.
It depends mostly of your work. Some work will force you to put your days off in the summer but that's not super common. Most jobs just let you use your days off however you want.
And no it's not a misunderstanding, some employers actually don't want their staff to work in the summer because all businesses slow down and people are in vacations.
Basically it mostly depends of your line of work but most people are free to choose when they take their days off. They just happen to often take them in the summer. That way if they have kids they can spend time with them while they are on summer break.
Some others will on the contrary put their days outside of the school holidays because travelling and tourism is cheaper when most people are expected to be working.
Basically a lot of it depends if you have kids and when their holidays are. Each region of france has different schedule for school holidays. So it somehow guides a lot of the days off placed by workers.
I'm not sure but usually it seemed to me like they tend to eat after service but really it all depends of the manager of the restaurant.
