Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

You mean less steps. True homeopathy dilutes until there's no measurable amount of the substance left; it's just pure sugar/water/alcohol. You're supposedly getting benefits from "the vibrations."
Of all the pseudo-science quackery, homeopathy is one of the most idiot-prone.
No, I do mean more steps, because homeopathy dilutes a smaller volume of target material, they actually would perform fewer steps than dilution via halving.
Homeopathy often dilutes by taking far less than half of a solution and diluting it in a large amount of fresh solvent. One process repeatability empties the entire container and refills it with solvent.
If you were diluting something by replacing only half with solvent, you'd have to do many more steps to get as pure solvent as homeopathy produces.
Homeopathy is a tremendously wasteful way of washing a container. It's hugely wasteful, and being a homeopathic environmentalist is oxymoronic.
That’s exactly what I mean.
The soda dilution by halves would have far more dilution steps to reach pure water than homeopathy.
Ah. I read you backwards, by bad.
All good, language is freakin hard, man!
All that matters is we got there in the end :)
