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)

Thankyou for triggering this rant from me. :)
Could evade the eye laser with better nutrition and detoxification. There are other cymaticly cromulent technologies and techniques too, unused.
Don't get me started on mRNA. Maybe just try listening to the warnings of those who came up with it? Or the results? (We used to take products off the market that were even 100,000 times less harmful... Not to mention the various related plans afoot, not least of relevance with that, "operation lockstep". ... (Would have thought the eugenics ties of those loudest promoting it would have been sufficient reason to pause and reconsider [(or any one of dozens of other clues and red flags)], but then I underestimated how successfully the fear induced by the (as one middling insider was caught on camera years before saying) "once the terrorist thing wears off we're going to have people running scared of a disease without symptoms" plan would in interfere with our access to our considerate, critical, creative forebrains), and how successfully another mass formation [!!!} could be induced just as there was an accelerating (to tipping point) awakening to the prior one.
Dentistry, too, is merely the same as the others, in how it's held back for profit. How many times has there been an innovation in dentistry, denied in practice, in favour of painful and poisonous treatments that do not even restore tooth health. For example, if I recall correctly, there have already been over 3 different methods developed for regrowing teeth (at least one, since decades ago, cheap, safe, and it works ~ and would have all but obsoleted dentistry). Instead, the mercury industry keeps dentists crazy in the head, putting mercury in the mouths of their "patients", making them crazy in the head too, not to mention the devastation that does to the immune system...
For-profit healthcare (<- an oxymoron btw), protects itself with the maxim "A patient cured is a customer lost." (<- A sentiment more commonly chirped in prudent awareness and cautioning in decades past. ... I wonder what caused this utterance to have fallen out of such prominence. Edward Bernays springs to mind...)
The industry. It's a big club. You and I are not in the big club. They know what's good for them.
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on him not understanding it." -- Upton Sinclair.
If you believe "we're living in the future", you have no idea how far we've been held back, "for profit". "For profit", too, a marketing mislead. It's "wealth extraction maximisation". Driving everyone but the best kleptarch towards total absolute destitution and beyond. Y'know we could have had [interstellar[!]] spaceships each since the 1930s, right? Follow the tech arc from Michael Faraday through to Nikola Tesla (and all the more quiet, less showy, between, and since). Even Nikola Tesla's innovations extended as far as health [~ indeed, throughout. Even his plan to power the world for free, was at frequencies etc that would be conducive to health. Cymatic cromulence. Mmmmm.]. Have you read the reports, the testimonies, or even experienced for yourself, the health benefits of, e.g., a Tesla Coil? Or any of many other energy based healing technologies? And yet, we're going to cite laser surgery, and mRNA as signs we're in the future? We're not even in the present, a century ago! In proclaiming these as signs we're in the future, we're no better than those who, in their respective times, insisted "more leaches!", or "test it on the little people".
Dig in to this topic. It may on one hand be daunting, how much can be taken from us, how much we can be held back, how much we can be deceived and made wholly obliviously ignorant [(~ "agnotology" is an eye opening field of research, even just to become aware it exists, let alone the vastness of its scope and scale of effect on the world, in abusive deployment, so long)]. But on the other hand, rejoice, at how much more headroom we truly have. :)
Let me just better diet my vision back to normal lmao
Is this meme? Am I missing the joke?
Is this just incredulous scoffing?
Any genuine curiosity?
Things like (just off the top of my head) Lutein, Zeaxanthin, Carotines, Retinol, Creatine, and countless more are reported to have helped restore eyesight, along with many techniques, and conversely, in some cases, sudden blindness has been suspected caused by nutrient uptake blockers (including GLP1s), starvation, stress, and extreme diets. So, yes, diet very much can have a huge impact on improving or worsening sight. ... I'm struggling to comprehend where the incredulity in this could come from.
Fascinating world out there to explore, at our fingertips, still, despite efforts to censor and control narratives to protect wealth extraction maximisation, as the rules demand of the corporation, to "protect the shareholders".
Fun tip, add "ayurveda" to health/biology websearches. For just one way to get out of the corporate curated bubble, to a perspective that lets you out of "cannot see the forest for the trees".
I'm not opposed to laser eye surgery. It's just another example of an oz of prevention worth a lb of cure, and too often too soon reaching for the "cure" of a surgeon's knife (so to speak), when there are gentler, perhaps less acutely profitable, "alternative" ways, that have no monied incentive to promote.
What the fuck lmao
cromulent is a perfectly cromulent word
TL;DR
Tldr is that I think we found RFKjr's lemmy account.
Holy tinfoil
The downvotes and replies to this have me wonder if the agnotological assault we're all under, is winning. The level of epistemology expressed... Where are we on Graham's Hierarchy of Debate with that? Mostly Adhominem? The irony, given the content already expressing in passing the awareness of "how much we can be deceived and made wholly obliviously ignorant", to have had such responses expressing such oblivion, doing the very thing. I didn't want to be that right. Maybe my fault, and I should have been more positive in what I manifested, right? Heh.
... And to think... I used to work in the agnotology industry. In "advertising or marketing" (before renouncing it when Bill Hick's saved me). I used to be one who would easily dupe people ("just doing my job"). It's oft corroborated true what they say: It's easier to fool someone than to convince them they've been fooled.
... especially with the UptonSinclairian duress... ("It's easier to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon him not understanding it."), that we're all under, to some extents, in this perversely incentivised economy.
Questions...? Go for it...
Lub me some curiosity and the Socratic method.
[Edit: Oh wait... Re-reading what that's responding to, that seems non-sequitur of some sort, since I was already lamenting the absence of curiosity and genuine (not mere rhetorically dismissive) questions.]
