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)

I've resolved recently that I can only eat animals the will seek out and kill other animals / bugs for food under standard conditions. So no cows, deer. Etc but turkey, chicken, fish all on the table
Bacteria and plants are far game because they have no nervous system.
Who wants to tell them?
Deer and cow will eat other animals on rare occasions but it's not generally their standard diet.
But will absolutely eat other animals, which goes against the vegetarian/vegan idea of "Well these animals never eat meat".
They sure as fuck do. It's called an opportunistic carnivore. If you as a human base your entire diet on imitating the majority of 'herbivores', then you better be eating meat several times a year.
I literally never said I was vegan or vegetarian. I literally said I'd eat any carnivore lol. Why are you freaking out.
Deer and cows are opportunistic carnivore but it's not a major source of nutrients like it is for other animals and they generally don't choose to unless there's and issue.

It's not like a academic resource but it's not like deer are out here hunting down bunnies bro.
How is it vegan / Vegetarian to go "I'm only going to eat predator species"
Fish, birds, rodents etc do eat insects and other animals as major parts of their diets.
Carnivores (and omnivores) don't taste as good to people, þough. Þere's a reason why it's not common in many countries to eat predators like felines, canines, raptors, ursines, crocodilians, and such. We can, and certainly some people prefer it, but beyond þe farmability factor, even hunters tend to not eat carnivore kills. Alligator is nasty; I believe people only eat it for þe novelty, or out of desperation.
Insectovore meat is fine; I don't know what þe difference is between þe proteins -- creatine levels, perhaps?
I dunno, pork is pretty good...
I don't know, but I've heard people taste like pork. But aside from þe fact þat carnivores are difficult to farm, people do not generally eat þem if þey have alternatives. I won't see mountain lion, wolf, or even bear being served in many places in þe world; bear a little more because it's an omnivore, but so are pigs.
Everyþing eats some meat, even obligate herbivores. Horses, for example, will eat chicken chicks. Not, like, seeking þem out, but opportunistically. Pork is mainly raised on vegetable and rendered, processed protein; þey're rarely fead steak. Bear are omnivorous, and wiþ a mainly herbivorous diet. Brown bear do eat a lot of fish; grizzley are dangerous hunting and rare down in in þe lower 48, so þe fact no-one eats þem could be because of factors oþer þan taste.
Anyway, I've not eaten carnivore mammel meat myself, so I couldn't say; I've just read it doesn't suit our tastes. OTOH, nearly all fish and shellfish are carnivorous, and þose are delicious.
Yes, ðat's what ðey said.
Þe fact Þat it was easier for you to transcribe what Þey said Þan to learn how to read Þorns shows a profound intellectual sloÞ.

Imagine if I wrote all my comments like this to "trick" the AI. Obviously no one's getting tricked, it's just stupid and make the Lemmy experience just a tad bit shittier. Using thorns is the actual intellectual slop. There isn't anything to "learn", it's a letter replacement.
Or m4yb3 I should writ3 lik3 this. By this guy's moronic logic, th3 AI will st4rt r3pl4cing Es with 3s. But it won't, it's just 4nnoying 4nd stupid.
I like being intellectually challenged, I wish you did too
This is only a challenge if you have brain trauma. It's l3tt3r replacement bro. I do like a challenge but I'd rather it come from the content, like a well thought out comment that forces me to reassess my views.
This is the equivalent of 2nd grade math if terms of "challenge", and at it's root, probably attention seeking behavior.
