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.

I see a modern car wheel on Memmy iOS.
So far, we've got an old fashioned spoke wheel, a modern car wheel and a bunch of lines. What the heck?
Welcome to Emoji. Where everyone follows the standard their own way and not everyone sees the same thing.
For me I see a square with an X through it so I assume my android device does not support that particular emoji yet.
Screenshot so you can see it on iOS
Wow yeah, interesting! I'm on Sync/Android and it's a brown wagon wheel for me.

That's crazy
The Unicode standard just specified a "wheel". A particular amusing (read: drama inducing) case is with the ๐ซ emoji: Unicode specified it as "Pistol", but depending on your font (and version), it can either appear as a water gun, or a musket or revolver.
Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), all major vendors have now switched over to a water gun, so no more amusing forum threads cases by the different meanings.
So in addition to the interpretation being unclear, there is also no real standard for emoji.
Same in Jerboa for Android.
Yes, I'm aware this may differ depending on your specific brand of Android phone. ๐คท
Liar, Jerboa on Android is showing an old wooden wheel.
I have an older phone which is probably why i see the wooden wheel. Rubber wheels hadn't been invented yet.
I have an even older phone, which is probably why I see a rectangle with a cross through it
It would depend on what brand and how old your phone is on Android, for example I think Samsung has its own set of emoji - at least for older phones
I was joking.
It's an old wagon wheel on Motorola, come on man, you have to know there is more than one android phone
Also wagon wheel on pixel 7
