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.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The fact that the only adults I know regularly saying it are right wingers, has made me paranoid that it's some secret Nazi shit. Even though I can find no evidence of that online.

Near as I can tell, there's nothing nefarious at all about it. Rightwingers like it for the same reason children do

They love their shibboleths.

thanks for teaching me a new word!

that said, i think that some of us forget what it was like to go to school - especially how fucking boring i was. any phrase that would get a rise.. in my school, it was one dude yelling "BIG BOOTY HOES" and then everyone who heard it would yell 'UP WIT IT"

good times.

How shibboleth came to mean password or dog whistle instead of an ear of wheat is from a pretty dark bible story:

And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was so, that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay; Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand.

I think that's because it's a tiktok thing and the right is way better at using apps like that to brainwash people, so naturally they'll also see the other unrelated memes and stuff

That makes sense. Those same people I know saying it all the time also send me tiktok links I never open.
