What is with these titleless posts recently? It makes it complicated to open them on desktop, because the title text is the handle that opens the post.

Good question, wish I knew too. Although I didn't even notice at first, because Ive always clicked the comments link.

Makes them complicated to open on mobile too. Took me a few tries to find the sweet spot. It's like OP wants to decrease engagement in their post...

I've only noticed it very recently, like the last couple days. But I was really busy over the weekend and wasn't on Lemmy much. I use boost and I feel I noticed it happening after Lemmy and boost updates

Did you even sow anything?

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago

Killed it on the execution though

I'm really grateful the girl skeleton has a bow, how else would I know their gender :p

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 24 points 2 months ago

If they showed the boob bones they'd have to mark it nsfw

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Can't the artist who made the comic put a bow on a character ?

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee -1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Bows are for hair and she ain't got none.

[–] fatalicus@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'll let my dad know he can no longer use his bow tie, since he wears it on his neck and not hair.

And I'll let my niece know she has to remove the bows on the clothing her daughter has.

And I'll stop tying my shoelaces in a bow.

If they don't have hair they're not people sorry.

I would never hurt an alpaca.

Heard it people, you’re forbidden to wear bows if you don’t have hair

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If you ever give a bow to a cancer patient I will hunt you down.

Same stupid juice ya'll smoking.

Why do people suddenly have a problem with this sort of thing? Art has always used exaggerations and tropes to convey things to the viewer more effectively than being realistic would. Lasers don't actually make solid beams of light in the air, evil people don't generally have red eyes or maniacal laughs, and female skeletons don't really have eyelashes and bows. Hell, most women don't even wear bows anymore.

[–] HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago

I don't problem, I just find it funny because it's so prevalent :3

[–] hark@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Who says there can't be a male skeleton wearing a bow named Stacey?

[–] veni_vedi_veni@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Omg... Did you just assume their gender? This is patriarchy manifest, you have no idea how much trouble you're in my guy

In a dark dark town, there was a dark dark street, in the dark dark street, there was a dark dark house, in the dark dark house, there were dark dark stairs, down the dark dark stairs, was a dark dark cellar and in the dark dark cellar... Three skeletons lived. But not the ones you're thinking about.

Maybe it's their neighbours.

I love funny bones

😮😧😦

[–] waldyrious@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Nice twist! Reminds me quite a bit of the Perry Bible Fellowship style :)

[–] CustardFist@feddit.nl 1 points 1 month ago

Daaaaark. I like it. 😏

Reminiscent of Discworld's Death
