Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. πŸ˜‡ Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ 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.
  3. 🧬 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.
  4. πŸ“½οΈ 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!
  5. πŸ“‹ 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.,
      βœ… Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. πŸ“¬ Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 πŸ–) 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 πŸ–) will be removed.
  7. πŸ΄β€β˜ 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]
  8. 🍿 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.

  1. Jago
  2. Stonetoss
  3. GPrime85

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)

In theory, if you were to replace literally all of somebody's blood with a different blood type all at once, would it actually kill them in the same way partial replacement would?

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 13 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

200%, yes. Your body would produce blood that causes you to die. You would be your own "partial replacement." Which is metal as fuck.

[–] lagg_mine@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

Blood types essentially mean that you produce antibodies to receptors found on other blood types. Dat you have A+, then you produce anti B.

You know I'm automatically attracted to this. I just start blood replacing them. It's like a magnet. Just blood replacing. I don't even wait. And when you're a mod they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the blood. You can do anything.

Oh I they cornered the person lol

I thought the blood type immediately changed, turning them grey, and then they... exploded...

Elbows up makes him appear to be looking down and checking out his own body, but the artist seems to think that it makes him look like he's trapped in a corner.

Roger that, replacing their blood with gazelle blood.

So, do we contact the Red Cross for this blood, or what?

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 9 points 11 hours ago

Well first we have to draw blood. I think we have a couple artists here who make OC.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

The trick is to wait for the modlog to build, so that you can combine punishments

Oh......oh god.

Didn't you read the handbook?
