I'd get drunk with a clone of myself but things might get a little weird.

[-] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago

I've been drunk with my clone, we just wind up playing Untitled Goose Game together.

Can you imagine how in sync you'd be with your clone for co-op games?

[-] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

We are not in sync in the slightest lmfao. We get bickery over what we're suppose to do in the various games. It's why the farming games are better, we just divide what we want to do, ie - Twin goes and does farming, I go fish, twin goes into the mines, I deal with animals, etc etc.

I bet he'd like to play Rocket League during sex. And he'd never utter the words "I'm tired of pizza" like yet another heartless monster I have to abandon.

You should read "The Man Who Folded Himself."

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

there's a heinlein novel where the main character travels through time, has a sex change, travels back through time, marries themself, then the older version of the character gives birth to the original incarnation of the character.

I'm not sure whether this was heinlein decrying a potential future or fantasizing, to be honest

[-] Lemmypy@feddit.nl 7 points 10 months ago

Isn't this the plot of the predestination movie?

[-] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 6 points 10 months ago

With Heinlein, fantasizing.

The man who folded himself is a time travel story, too. Every time the guy travels to the same time, there's another one of him there, with bigger or smaller age differences. It gets pretty twisted in parts when he's living with his other selves.

Shit. Things with me would get a lotta weird.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

So many smooches.

Back in like the 70s starfish were taking over an area and the government paid fisherman to kill them.... They chopped them up and through em back in the water.

[-] Johanno@feddit.org 11 points 10 months ago

Same story in India where the British paid for copra snakes to be killed.

They bred them in order to get money

[-] its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 10 months ago

That starfish is a little shellfish.

[-] BilSabab@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

Except this whole sequence takes place over 50 years

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)
