No Stupid Questions
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 would challenge your assumption: White socks are not the norm in the US, especially when you're wearing something with visible socks or are dressing up. For formal wear, black is definitely the norm even in the US.
Maybe it's just what Americans wear on holiday?
White pulled up socks and shorts that are too long and too wide -> typical American tourist
That's pretty likely, plus if you're traveling and forget socks, the cheapest ones to pick up are usually white.
That's not to say nobody wears white socks, they're pretty common, but most socks I see aren't white nor do I usually wear white socks.
The OP specified casual wear and you're telling them they're wrong because of how people dress up?
For general casual wear, white socks are pretty normal.
You are mistaken: Read what I wrote again (or not I guess, not super important lol).
I just did. Mind clarifying?
Indicates you think OP is wrong
A characterization that does not match my experience as an American
Not relevant to my comment, but still not true in my American experience
Completely irrelevant to the OP talking about casual wear.
Yeah actually I'm done arguing with a stranger about socks. White socks being the norm hasn't been my experience. If that upsets you, I guess you're going to have to find some way to come to terms with that. Sorry.
I don't care about the socks. I was just pointing out that you based your disagreement at least in part on dressing up when OP said casual wear. And then for some reason I can't understand you doubled down on it and told me I was wrong about the words you wrote that are still right there. So I broke down my understanding of your very straightforward sentence.
You seem to be pretty focused on this so I would again invite you to re-read what I wrote if you care that much. If it still confuses you, try reading it again because I'm fresh out of additional shits to give today.
Lmfao, nah. You know you were wrong and seem to think you can just say "read it again" rather than explain yourself. I already explained how what you said was irrelevant, it's your turn.
You'll have to find someone else to argue about socks with. Goodbye.
