No Stupid Questions
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.

They're not going to shoot you for trying to haggle. Shit I've haggled on the purchase of a gun.
No, you're not getting shot for that.
And it absolutely depends where you live. But hard pawn shops, where they've seen enough shit, haggling will make your price go up or just get you a "get the fuck out."
Proximity to weapons is a reasonable indicator of what kind of place you're in.
This isn't GTA.
Every pawn shop I've been to has guns displayed behind the cashiers. If you are experiencing a lot of people saying "get the fuck out", I'd attribute that to some other common variable.
Nah man, businesses tell their customers to get the fuck out all the time.
Haggling will only make the price go up if you suck at haggling. If someone offered to buy something 75% off they might get told to leave. But if you offer someone $185 on something listed at $200 they'll likely be more willing to haggle with you.
As for the last part lots of pawnshops have random guns or swords. Owning either does transform someone or some business into some harden gangsters.
If you're not really comfortable with haggling my go-to is always "what's your best price on this?"
They usually have a quick range that they'll accept and you know if it's something that you were already interested in and you can suddenly get 10% off just by asking one simple question then go for it.
