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.

Honestly the entire thing evolved quickly from silly random humor to a full-blown story with recognizable characters and drama.
https://youtu.be/6R9RnIawSvk?si=re2TOMROoVE0vST-
So the Skibidi Toilets seem to operate on being able to hurt "people" via jump-scares. These "people" I refer to could be called "Tech Heads" (don't know if there is some skibidi-subculture which has consistent names for factions or characters).
The Tech Heads come in various flavors and keep upgrading their Heads to fight off the Skibidi Toilets.
The battles increasingly rely on both sides absurdly upgrading their arsenals in over-the-top and sometimes downright Cronenberg-esque ways. It makes heavy, heavy use of Half Life 2 GMod assets that are heavily modified to be these freaky creations.
The main endings of the shorts are either Skibidi's winning and serving you up a jump-scare before a blackscreen, or the various Tech Heads winning and giving each other a thumbs up gesture. Over time, even these concepts are lampooned or used as misdirects.
Further, there has honestly been clever use of the different type of Tech Heads for storytelling and meta-storytelling devices.
It ends up in an all-out war that includes deep subterfuge on both sides. I won't say it's not creative, it's actually incredibly creative and well-put-together.
I just wasn't able to find the humor in it, personally.
Actually, it's a statement on how shitposting is killing traditional media
damn that actually sounds like a great read, never heard of that one before
Yeah, I mean, I'm a grown ass man, and I find watching it kind of like a guilty pleasure. I'll admit it.
I think it initially started off silly, but as the story started to unfold it just got less sillier and more darker because the story didn't need to be overtly silly.
