A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling 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 !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Good luck finding us on a world map. We're famous for two things: an adaptation of a British guy's books, and constantly trying to convince people that we do not want to fuck sheep while one of our banks goes and makes an ad campaign with a sheep that the internet decides is sexy.
You guys would have been fine if somebody had taught the bank about the Streisand effect.
Welcome to New Zealand, just off the coast of best sporting nation in the world
I kneel, this is excellent ragebait.
A sheep named Buck, no less. Careful not to typo it!
I can't fathom the design meetings and nobody bringing this up.
Incidentally, I moved to Auckland at the beginning of 2026, and I was startled by how many maps I started to see that didn't include New Zealand. There's an episode of Bluey where it seems intentional--they're doing a world map puzzle, and while Australia is there, they leave off the bottom-right puzzle piece that would've included NZ.
To quote Kill Bill, "My name is Buck..."
Hey, don’t sell yourselves short… you’ve got the Haka and Flight of the Concords too
I don't know if that's slogany enough for a "welcome to" sign. Also feel free to mention the country.
Also you remind me of a self deprecating joke a guy from Wales and Malta told me some time ago: How do you know a guy is from Malta? He's shagging a sheep. How do you know the sheep is from Wales? She pushes back while his hands are behind his head.
I wasn't sure what country until you mentioned the bank. I heard about that all the way over here in Canada :)
