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

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I don't know why inanimate objects treated like this makes me feel sad. It reminds me of the Mars rover comic where he's left asking if he did a good job after the radio goes silent.

Quit making me feel bad for machines damn you!

[–] irreticent@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Thanks for sharing, though it did make me sad.

Empathy and anthropomorphization. It's a good quality to have as a person, but it does cause these false positive triggers.

[–] bandwidthcrisis@lemmy.world 58 points 5 months ago (1 children)

This is my go-to antidote for that one

Especially the alt-text.

[–] mryessir@lemmy.sdf.org 17 points 5 months ago

Never checked in alt-text. You made my day (:

Here's this again. I get to bring it out every time this sort of thing comes up. It never ceases to be a masterpiece.

Empathy ia possibly the beat quality a person can have.

Adult. Have to go back to Herbie the Love Bug for my childhood versions. Or plenty of children books that animated things, my first being a vivid one about a lighthouse tugboat lost in a storm. With a companion 45 rpm record that read and sung the book.

I feel really bad about my old MacBook. It was my trusty companion for 10 years, but now it's kind of forgotten and useless.

I tried to revive it a while ago, but it's too slow/hot to be useful for anything worthwhile and it's a real shame. It's still working fine, otherwise!

Old macbooks make great Linux machines!

[–] agressivelyPassive@feddit.de 1 points 5 months ago

Not that old, unfortunately.

Linux runs fine, but even when underclocked, it turns into a space heater by just using a browser.
