Learn English – What’s a word that means does not belong, and doesn’t matter at the same time

single-word-requestsword-choice

The word can be used to mean that something doesn't belong (i.e in this category) or something that has nothing to do with something, but also doesn't matter.

I know there is a word for this in my head but I can't think of it. The definition of the word belong is to be rightly placed in a specified position.

As a context; there was a comment posted on a forum where someone said "so that's what people do in the south" and then that person has a photo of a truck and the person standing next to it (while there was also a video about something silly people might do in the south). I wanted to ask if the comment was a joke because she actually lived in the south (and I was thinking this is possibly true because of the photo). So I wanted to ask if that's true or (then addressing the photo) if the photo of the car _______?

Fill in the blank:

Is this a joke because you're from the south? And this seems weird to you. Or is that car photo ________?

It has to be one word that means doesn't belong and doesn't matter. I was thinking irrelevant, unrelated, inapplicable, unconnected, unassociated, uncorrelated, etc. Which one fits best? Is there something better? Because I feel like none of them works.
