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]
-
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)

I think he's referring to the getaway driver in a robbery where you get part of the stolen money.
The company is profiting from the poisonous cinnamon.
oh oh. yeah ok so there is more than just being next to the guy. Yeah I would think there would be a due diligence question to. I mean I can't put a death trap of a fence up on my property or like dig a moat.
To be fair, if the lead is added by a middle man selling to the company, then the company isn't making any more money.
I can definitely see a situation where that's the case. It would be comparable to buying something off someone, you look at it and it looks like everything is in order, after you sell it on it turns out the stuff was stolen.
I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think you can be held accountable in such a situation unless it's proven that you either knew or should have known that you were selling stolen goods.
I mean that sounds like if I hire a contractor whose work is not up to code. In that scenario im still on the hook middleman or not.
That depends on what level you're working at: If you hire a company to do electrical work as a part of your construction project, you'll typically rely on that company to provide paperwork confirming that everything is in order. As your company does not have the qualifications to do the certification (hence why you are hiring a subcontractor), you cannot be expected to cross-check the work.
If the building catches fire due to an electrical failure, it's the subcontractor that signed off on the paper whose held liable, not the company that delivered the end-product.
Similarly, if I buy a product and receive a certificate that it holds some standard, I'm permitted to assume the certificate is valid and re-sell the product, unless there's some express reason I should have understood that something is wrong.
