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 wealthy people in New York get driven around in Mercedes, Lincolns, Lexuses, etc., but people in LA drive supercars like Lamborghinis and Ferraris. Is this true, or do wealthy people in LA also get driven around in black luxury cars too?

All? Of course not.

When using all or every in a question, the answer is pretty reliably, no.

I don't get it. What is your fixation on wealthy people?

He's writing a story about a rich super hero who may or may not be 23 years old and into illegal street racing and, iirc, had his girlfriend (possibly 40 years of age or maybe 19 or 28 depending on what Lemmy tells him is the correct age gap) killed by a drunk ex-boyfriend in a racing accident and avenging her is the cause for his supero-ing. He's trying to get the "rich" part correct in his writing. I unironically can't wait to read it.

How rich do you have to be to legally drunkenly street race?

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 4 points 2 weeks ago

How rich do you need to be to deal with the legal fallout of getting caught drunkenly street racing?

My guess: His rich cousin kicked him out of the party and now he wants to know what he missed out on

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You're looking at it backwards. It's not that West coasters don't have the Lincoln's and Mercedes, it's because New York winters are hell on sports cars, and there is a lot less open road in NYC.

LA is also just a car culture city. When you're poor in LA, you drive a shitty car, when you get rich in LA, you drive a fancy car.

When you're poor in New York, you get driven around by public transit. When you're rich in New York, you get driven around by a car service.

It's obviously not so black and white, but the percentage of rich people driving sports cars in LA vs rich people getting driven in luxury cars in NY, is probably similar to the percentage of poor people driving in LA vs poor people taking transit in New York.

Very few drive supercars. And if they do, it’s to events they will be filmed getting out of them. Super cars are a pain to drive in urban areas, and even worse on the 405 and 10 freeways. They are better suited to the track or twisty backroads. LA-area wealthy will daily drive high end luxury German and British cars, or have a sedan/limo service to chauffeur them around. If you see one in the wild in LA, there 50 percent chance it’s an instagram poser. Things also change as you go up the coast to those ultra rich enclaves where you might see more wealthy airing out their Italian supercar, but not so much in LA

No. My daughter's sister in law lives in a 20m dollar home, and drives a Tesla and her husband has a very large trx ram.

[–] yessikg@fedia.io 3 points 2 weeks ago

Nope, most wealthy people in LA drive EVs

They're all boot licking republicans. So yes
