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.

George Washington had wooden dentures.
I learned it from Day of the Tentacle and even if I know now that it isn't true,it still pops into my mind everytime someone talks about him or dentures.
Also, Betsy Ross originally created a tentacle shaped flag, not a rectangular one.
Yeah, he had those wind up teeth instead
i thought he had dentures made of slave teeth?
Time for a replay. Is there an android option nowadays?
Sort of.
There's a ScummVM emulator on the playstore, so it's possible to play the original on android if you can find the "rom" files.
I haven't tried DOTT in particular, but last time I replayed a scumm game I quickly lost interest due to the outdated controls.
Thanks will try it
By the way, got the rom from https://www.romspedia.com/roms/scummvm/day-of-the-tentacle/download
Game started, not tested yet but all looks ok
(To anyone else trying to do this, get Scummvm app from playstore. Get the Rom file from web link above (mind the spammy adverts). You'll need something like Rar app to unzip the file. Make a games folder on your phone, make a DayOfTheTentacle inside it and unzip the file there. Then open scummvm and "add new folder" and navigate to the DayOfTheTentacle folder and select that. Scummvm should detect the game so then you should see a game called "tentacle* you can start)
