Comic Strips
Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
Rules
-
😇 Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
🏘️ 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.
-
🧬 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.
-
📽️ 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!
-
📋 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.,
✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
📬 Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) 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 🖐) will be removed.
-
🏴☠️ 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.,
Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
- 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.,

🍿 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.
Banned Artists
The following artists are banned from the community.
- Jago
- Stonetoss
It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
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)
Web of Links
- !linuxmemes@lemmy.world: "I use Arch btw"
- !memes@lemmy.world: memes (you don't say!)

Both. But distilled is at best ion poor. It's not recommended use either exclusively for your source of water.
A good filter on tap is enough for the vast majority of houses. If that's not your case, mineral water or regular bottled water (which is just filtered tap water from a reliable source) are your best bet.
And it's cheaper too! Not common that you choose both healthy and cheap.
Source? Everyone keeps saying something similar, and when asked for a source, suddenly there isn’t anything.
No one is going to recommend against drinking distilled water solely, because you naturally get minerals and electrolytes elsewhere.
Normally I would go fetch, but there are so many search results. Just search it yourself and choose a source you cash trust. It's a very well established topic.
I have, and every result says it’s safe. I would love to see an actual source that says otherwise. It’s not going fetch, it’s providing sources for your wild claim that multiple people have been debunking.
Never said it was unsafe, just not recommended. WebMD has links to scientific articles that sorry support that. But you may counter that you don't trust those sources. I'm not about to play whack a mole. If you want to exclusively drink demineralized water, go ahead, you won't die for it. But you'll increase your chances of developing certain diseases. Maybe that's an acceptable tradeoff for you - I'd certainly think so if you live in Flint.
Then provide those links to webmd, you have them handy. Why would they not recommend it if it wasn’t safe? And support your own wild claim then. Which doctors and sources are not recommending it. Your specific point doesn’t change anything. It’s either safe and recommended or not safe and not recommended these are mutually exclusive terms here.
You can’t provide what doesn’t exist, there’s no need to lie that Google has it, or webmd has lots of results. If there was, you would provide them, since you must have recently looked at them to be THIS confident in a discussion. If no, accept you’re wrong, and quit perpetuating bullshit that’s been proving wrong.
OK buddy
