There's a difference between being funny and referencing something funny. This isn't humor, it's recall.
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.,
SΓ, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]
- 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.
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!)
Totally recall...
Right? Much better to get your skibidi rizz on than have your cortisol spiked by 67 mogged millennials.
I'd argue its a different kind of "bad" humor, with the aging millennial style being cringey and painful to hear vs just plain stupid
Wow. Such True. Many Funny.
ERMAGERD
ZOMG
Cool beans, roflcopter.
We did successfully revive β23 skidoo!β and βbeeβs kneesβ during the third wave ska and swing band craze, so itβll be interesting to see what eventually works itβs way into youthβs slang lexicon.

My roflcopter goes soi soi soi.
5/7 perfect score.
Oh lol. Never realised how 5/7 is so close to 67.
5/7 with rice!
I make jokes about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIFF_(Usenet) and /. and no one already understands me.
That asciii ART is something to behold.
Ey, I know B1FF! Idk what you mean by /. tho.

Wassuuuup!
Talk to the hand. You aren't all of that and a bag of potato chips.
Oh snap!
And after millennials pass, old folk's homes will be filled with people shouting "SIX SEVEN" over and over
This is what I love about any movie/tv show/book/novel/short story about the future .... it's all spoken in the same language that we all understand now.
But if we could listen to regular everyday English spoken in North America 100 years ago, it would sound a bit off and unusual. Listen to English as it was spoken in England 300 years ago and it would probably sound very strange and unsual, go back to 500 years ago and we would probably have a hard time understanding.
The same thing is going to happen in the future (IF there is any kind of future and we don't blow ourselves up or kill ourselves off in some unusual, creative and complicated way) ... historians will listen to recordings of how we talk today and think of us in the same way we think about someone from 1800. Go even far into the future about 500 years and someone from 2526 will probably not be able to understand anything we're saying unless they use a translator of some kind. Those people 500 years from now will probably look back us like we're making grunting sounds like some cave people from prehistory.
How far back in time can you understand English. A fairly long but facinating read.
