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 never used twitter, but I still know what the notification sound sounds like because of memes
I don't. What kind of memes centre around Twitter notification sounds, anyway?
There's silly meme video compilations, and they are about anything
The only thing I think when I hear someone else's notification is, why the fuck is it so loud and why the fuck aren't they silencing it?
Does anyone have the sound on these days? My volume is set to 0 most of the time, I have no idea what any of the sounds are now.
Important emails. All other notifications are unnecessary garbage.
I turned on my volume the other night to make sure I heard my alarm, and forgot to turn it off. I learned a lot of notification sounds that day. Or would have if I'd paid attention beyond "Oh, a notification"

Im not even straight and I don't know the sound, why would anyone who has no reason to use the app know it?
Hearing it in video memes and having it explained what it is? Only thing I can think of where one might know without having first-hand experience. 🤷🏻♂️
Maybe that :3.. if the grindr sound was ever a meme I missed it tho
I was thinking about this guy at Eurovision.
I just get a little paranoid that I’ll forget to put my phone on silent and the little old ladies at the thrift will sniff me out.
Dude. Fuck the old ladies! I mean, not sexually...but, fuck them if they want to judge you for being gay.
You're going to buy some dvds, or some clothes, or whatever you came to the thrift store for. They're going to droll on living their meaningless lives. And you'll still be getting more cock than they will.
This coming from a straight guy who just wants everyone to be happy being themselves. Unless that true self is a hateful prick who judges others for existing. Fuck those people. You wanna marry a gothic nun vampire hunter? Go for it. I won't understand it, but I don't have to. It's not my life you're affecting. And same for these old ladies. They can either accept you, or fuck off.

Video memes. Another place I keep the sound at 0.
Who keeps notifications on? Anything? I put my phone on silent back in 2012 and I've never looked back.
Edit. Sorry, to clarify. I turn notification sounds off. Still get the actual pop up.. Some not important ones get total silents but still pop a bubble so at some point I'll look at it. For those things that need to be noticed i make sure they vibrate and pop up on my watch. Still not a sound to be heard.
All my coworkers. Full volume.
This comes up every once in a while. Apparently there are a surprising number of people on Lemmy who are still commited to using audible notifications.

Not notifications, but I have to leave my volume on in case there's an emergency call from work or a friend

I don't even know what my messages notification sounds like.
My phones have been silent forever. I hate all notification sounds.
Unless grinder got a custom notification sound, saying something like "Im gonna prone bone til you gone" i would probably write it off as some message notification
Met my husband on grindr. Have no idea what the notification sound is.
No volume, vibrate, led, or push notifications. If you want my attention badly enough, call. And I will screen the call and text you back at my convenience. I will not be on a leash. Now excuse me while I doomscroll for 2 to 17 hours.

No I didn't, but you made me curious so I just looked it up.
It's not a sound I remember hearing anywhere, but I certainly could have and not known what it was at the time so ignored it.
This made me look it up as well, and I cannot express how disappointed I am that it isn't a grinding sound.
If I find out then I'll 100% be making it my ringtone to see which of my friends/colleagues react
Ohhh downloaded from the App Store.
You know I actually turned the notifications off on that app and I regularly keep my phone on silent... So even though I have used the app I don't actually know what noise it makes.
Same. I couldn't tell you what the notification sounds of any apps sound like.
You assume I'm ever "about in public"?
No, why would I?
I have no idea what it sounds like but I figured it’s because everyone keeps their phones muted. I know I do.
I'm not straight and have no idea what it sounds like. (Not what you asked, but my incredibly straight parents have no clue what Grindr even is, if that helps. :)
No, you're safe.
Not at all
No, I would have no idea. It's a standard notification? You can't choose the sound? If it was a ladies site I'd say "vibrate" would be the obvious choice, but for a gay men's site, no idea.
I don't know what any notifications sound like
No because I’m not obsessed with how other people spend their time
Does it even make a custom sound? I thought it would just use the default notification sound
No
for context, this is what it sounds like:
https://youtu.be/kURiwTXmGZg
I thought it sounded like an impression of someone doing the notification sound in a song lol
I now know it due to this post. 100% will never remember it. Sounds like a very generic notification.
No- is it like a grunt?
Put everything on silent and non-vibrate. Disable any sort of blinky or flashy light that seeks your attention. Abandon civilization brother. Be free.
I know I've heard it in memes before but I've forgotten what it sounds like. Though I'd probably recognize it if I heard it again, maybe?
I recently learned that the annoying two-tones "whistle" notification is/was Twitter, so that sort of counts right?
Not straight but asexual and i have no idea
on grinder... still don't know what the sound is. :-( Holy shit, Grindr is so far ahead of any hetero dating app.

I don't know, and reading the other comments that's not too strange. That said, I'm incredibly dense regarding cues like this, so I would be the last one to know probably.
