A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected]. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

6) No US Politics.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Carl's Jr. because of that awful sexualized man campaign. Awful ad campaigns also for Dove, Axe, Jimmy John's and Jersey Mike's. I'm sure there are others I'm not remembering at the moment.

Burger King and Chili's because of cavalier attitudes towards food poisoning.

McD's, Twitter, Susan G. Komen, commercialized fundraising of any kind, and Reddit for obvious reasons.

Lots of games I won't play and apps I won't download because of their ads.

There were multiple. It went on a couple of years.

Seagate - bought 3 of their drives . All 3 failed within a month of the warranty being up. But they said "Warranty is up so suck it"; two can play that game.
