But my smooth carapace hippo would NEVER harm anyone! Just look at it's happy little smiles!

Did it force you to put that apostrophe into that possessive pronoun that's already possessive and therefore doesn't need an apostrophe just like his, hers, theirs, and ours?

Probably. I used mobile and rely on autocorrect for my fat fat thumbs. It just does what it wants.

My car does what it wants until I use the steering wheel or pedals. That's how machines work.

My sweet dumb, absolute cabbage of a hippo would harm someone unfortunately, he's an idiot and that's how he meets people, aggressively cause he grew up a stray. So he doesn't meet new people, he has a happy home with love and treats, and I'm way fuckin stronger and meaner if I need to be should it come to an actual attack on me.

I'm not gonna let dogs suffer in shelters if I have space in my home and the ability to keep all people safe. He didn't choose to be born how he is, have the life he did, and I'm not gonna fault him for a rough start to life. I'm gonna give him a calm and happy one. We did this to dogs, to just shoo the problem away and let them all die is horrendous. Sure we can stop breeding that specific breed, and I'm all for it, but that isn't happening, and the dogs still exist, so I'll keep giving them the love they deserve. I'll be the bandaid til society gets it shit together and does something about it.

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

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]
🍿 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.
