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
- 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)

No more global warming, but a lot more sexual assault.
And deaths from tooth aches, small cuts, the flu...
But at least we'd be "living in an Amish paradise"
No more global warming, and i get to die? what's the catch?
You did a horrible painful death over 5 years.
Nah sorry i think i'll just let the world burn then
Global warming would continue tho even if this happened.
Please continue your reasoning.
We are well into the "point of no return" part of the the global warming curve. From here on out things will get more and more unpredictable weather wise with previously tame regions experiencing long droughts or flash floods. Large parts of housing all over the world will become completely insufficient in maintaining livable conditions. Our current agricultural system will stop functioning. Even if humans completely disappeared the existing pollution and atmospheric gases would have massive long term effects on everything else that lives on the planet. We are already experiencing the start of this trend, but its only going to get worse from now on.
Basically we broke the balance and we wont be able to fix it.
For a relative comparison on how bad our warming curve is compared to those of the planets history, this recent video is a good starting point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1bMJekCiBw
That's depressing as fuck.
Yes but its still our duty to not let it get even worse. If there is large switch to renewables and lower emission industrial processes, then humans will probably somehow continue to exist in a semi normal way. If we dont lower our emissions at all in the next few decades however, then large parts of the planet are predicted to just completely stop supporting human life after like 2100.
There are reasons why the big guys are building bunkers while trying to extort as much money from the general population as possible while they still can... They know this won't be sustainable and have already given up.
I try to keep a small glimmer of hope that we come to our sense and make dramatic changes over the next 20 years, but I doubt it.
If we were to invest our resources heavily into reversing these trends I think it's possible, but that would have to be humanity's collective goal. We can't even agree to stop murdering each other though so yeah it's bad
They use gas generators to power tools and equipment, they just donβt like relying on the grid.
You think all that Amish furniture for sale is cut by hand?
I don't live near any Amish so I didn't think about their furniture at all.
I donβt live near them either, but smaller furniture stores sell it all over the country, lots of it is glued together and particle board/mdf but well concealed.
Itβs largely marketing bullshit.
And animal cruelty.
And also, continued global warming.
Seriously, why does anyone think regressive religious principles would do anything but continue the pillaging of natural resources? Amish are just cosplayers riding on the successes of an industrial civilization, most of them are capitalists who use technology to create crafts to sell to midwest white middle-class folk as their primary means of sustenance.
Amish attitudes towards technology are so contradictory and flimsy they make fantasy genres like Warhammer 40k look sensible.
