Hi Everyone, thank you for coming.

Please read [**rule 3**](https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/about/rules) (and the rest really) before participating. This is a pretty strict sub, and we know that. Rule 3 covers four main things that are really relevant here:

**No Joke Answers**

**No Anecdotes**

**No Off Topic comments**

**No Links Without a Written Explanation**

This only applies at **top level**, your top level comment needs to be a direct explanation to the question in the title, child comments (comments that are replies to comments) are fair game so long as you don’t break Rule 1 (Be Nice).

I do hope you guys enjoy the sub and the post otherwise!

If you have questions you can let us know here or in modmail. If you have suggestions for the sub we also have r/IdeasForELI5 as basically our suggestions box.

Happy commenting!
