Comic Strips
Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
𧬠Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
π½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
π Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 π) will be removed.
-
π΄ββ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,

πΏ Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

The last one had an especially alluring title. I had to immediately watch it.
I recently found a channel with the same production format as SummoningSalt. The name of the channel is 'Abyssoft'
I watched a pretty lengthy FF7 speedrun progression video and got immediately hooked!
Pros:
Irish? Mostly great info New info Iβve never heard of before Comes across as nice
Cons:
Annoying thumbnails Some incorrect info Very obviously reading from paper, sounds very stilted Mispronunciations afoot
Conclusion:
Subbed, thank you for the rec!
This hits hard.
I'll need extra pizza tonight
I feel personally attacked.
That's how you cells feel too!
My cells relate to this comic
Shake it up with a carrot or a piece of celery to placate them. Just enough to avoid a uprising
On the other hand, do you feel less alone now?
I have never posted that I feel personally attacked.
But I came to these comments to say that I, too, feel personally attacked.
What's this thing with people claiming tomatoes are vegetables? It's got seeds in it
Fruit is a botanical term for things with seeds in it. Vegetable is a culinary term. They aren't mutually exclusive so when people say something is either a fruit OR a vegetable, it isn't an apples vs oranges comparison.
Because they are both fruit
Hilarious :)
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Ketchup is a fruit jam
I mean, that it's a terrible definition of vegetable, considering it rules out a very large amount of vegetables, including tomatoes, bell peppers, eggplants and cucumbers.
You can apply that to pretty much any categorization we make for the natural world.
The natural world doesn't care for our categorizations or social construct. It can, and will, make shit that just does not fit to any of our boxes, and like it!
Man: mammals have live births and give milk through breasts (technically mammary glands, though most expect nipples)
World: have you met my friend the platypus?
Ah yes, the semi-aquatic, egg-laying mammal of action. A key part of god's fight against those who demand everything be neatly categorized into simple boxes
Also OWACA's fight against... incompetent villians?
It's a cooking term, not a biology term.
In cooking, tomatoes are vegetables. Biologically, they're fruit. In cooking, they're not fruit.
Not nearly as much as you seem to think. "Anything can be anything" is a common line by people who don't know anything. "Autism is an infinite spectrum. Everyone's a little bit autistic!" "Everything that looks similar in some ways to a game that's been called an 'RPG' is an RPG!" Assumptions and infinite inclusions come more easily than actual knowledge and categorizations.
I was referring more to how there's an exception to every rule in, for example, biology (and other things in nature).
You mentioned autism, which by itself is an exception to the rule of how we think humans beings "should" be and act. And autistic people have long been tried to be forcefully put into the societally constructed boxes we made for ourselves, instead of accepting that some people are different and that it's ok.
Or how left handed people exist. Or how intersex is a thing. Or the myriad of medical conditions which, while not harmful, make people different, like situs inversus.
And that's just for humans. In nature you got everything from viruses which is debatable whether it can even be categorized as life, to platypuses, to fungi that have tens of thousands of different sexes. And this list is near endless.
It's a definition of "fruit": thing that's full of seeds, intended to fall off the plant.
Technically, any part of a plant is a "vegetable". Tomatoes? Vegetables. Lettuce leaves? Vegetables. Leek stalks? Vegetables. Spruce 2x4? Vegetables...
Be sure to try the sous-vide Spruce 2x4. The PT sauce is to die for!
...Those aren't vegetables. That's the point.
The majority of vegetables are also fruits. They're not even close to mutually exclusive terms.
Why should anyone care this much though. It isnβt poisoning anyone. itβs not breaking anything in the kitchen. Itβs still edible. No animal died to give it to you.just Eat it and be fed.
Generally when people talk fruits and vegetables they are referring to culinary tradition. Vegetable does not have a precise scientific definition anyway, despite what you've heard from The Big Bang Theory.
I thought the definition was pretty clear but basing it on some tradition is a bit vague.
What is even a mario kart speedruns lmao
Mario Kart Blue Yourself%. Not even joking, look it up.
Tomato isn't even a vegetable, it's a fruit.
