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.

Even wipes are better (just don't flush them, no such thing as flushable wipes, that is a lie they put on the box).
...where do you put the wipes of you don't flush them
If you say the trash can I am going to vomit
Where do you think diapers go?
Rinse them off and put them back for the next person? You don't throw out your washcloths and towels after one use, do you?
Flush them of course am I gonna listen to some stranger on the internet or... the box?
Some are septic safe while they don’t really break down in a sewer. It’s buyer beware, know your shit, literally.
Every plumber I've spoken with said that "flushable" wipes are 100% bullshit and to never flush them.
This is called anecdotal evidence, and is veridically worthless.
Let's put it this way. TP is okay because it dissolves in water.
Wet wipes are wet. Just get a bidet. Bidet + TP is cheaper AND better than wet wipes anyway, while being basically the same thing.
I'm not putting clean drinking water up my ass unless I'm gonna drink it later
You drinking it later is on you.
in me. that's the point.
you need brawndo
It's anecdotal because some rando on the internet is saying it. They didn't quote a plumber, they said some plumbers they talked to said a thing. That's worthless.
Kinda funny how you're only applying that logic to that one specific comment.
Expert advice is perfectly relevant but if you prefer you can soak a clean wipe in a bucket and some clean tp in another.
You will shortly prove to yourself why you don't flush wipes
You would know if you had a sceptic system, people with sceptic systems are safe to use them.
It’s not a blanket rule dude.
Yeah I'm gonna go ahead with the multiple professionals who have advised against it over some random person on the Internet, thanks!
Says the random person on the internet giving advise themself? Lmfao. The irony.
Relaying professional advice doesn't really make it my advice, but you have a good day. Have fun arguing with strangers on the Internet, I'm gonna go have some fun.
You never mentioned anything about a professional in your first comment… so no you weren’t sharing professional advice, you were providing your quite uneducated opinion. Sounds like you just didn’t like that you were told wrong by someone and are now lying to safe face.
People are so strange.
I wasn’t arguing, I was providing advice just like you were, you really are a hypocrite and can’t see the irony here can you…? You turned it into an argument after, I can provide proof that they’re sceptic safe, but most people have sewer systems and it’s not gonna be easy to explain the difference to people with your attitude.
If you don’t have a sceptic system, of course thee advice YOU receive will be for your sewer system. A plumber isn’t gonna confuse the average home owner by explaining, that yes, there is actually some systems where you can. They just tell you the blanket rule. But then you go and perpetuate that information, without knowing it’s not a gospel rule.
So no, it’s not a lie, it’s for people with sceptic systems so they know THEY can use them, they aren’t for you lmfao.
It's septic tank not sceptic. I try not to be a dick but you wrote it so many times.
Just for anyone reading along and thinking it's safe, there are huge caveats that people are leaving out which is a disservice to our fellow lemmers (lemmyers? Lemmiets? Lemlets?).
Older wastewater systems and even some newer regulated and "up to code" systems do not factor in wipes. They are designed with human waste and toiletpaper ONLY.
Wipe manufacturers categorize and regulate themselves for "flushable".
You'll be hard pressed to find anything "Scientific" unless it comes from BIGWIPES ^tm^.
Unless you've paid an engineer and state institutions to design and approve a new system which you've installed that takes into account the difference in "wipes materials" (of which all those materials need to be regulated as well, state coding approval for all steps of the manufacturing and QA), you're never going to find any official/professional who would legally make themselves liable for the efficacy of that system by saying "flush wipes".
Beyond that, go dig up and open your septic tank lid. Every single one I've exposed has wipes in it. "But they used the wrong wipes", yeah... but you can't use the wrong toilet paper. No one is going to say use wipes because they know the result will be people using shitty wipes eventually (or the manufacturer changes its product).
Flushable doesn't mean it's biodegradable. Biodegradable doesn't mean it's meant to break down in a septic tank. Even it breaks down is a huge connotation on time/material and if it's even processable or just sits there till it has to get pumped, meaning more expensive pumps, more often (your septic tank just becomes a "big wipes bin" that you have to pay to have removed).
I mean the whole "Septic Tank" debate itself is fucking hilarious. You're just saying "it's safe!", how many gallons is the tank rated for? How many occupants are using the system? Is there any type of effluent filter or pump? What kind of drop do your pipes have? How many wipes are you using per flush? It's such a ridiculous thing to just hand wave, sure you flush your shit and someone said, "go ahead! (extra pump$ for me!)". Drop your scientific shit articles (well it's about poop and flushing after all), I need something to read on the shitter anyways.
!! lame overused phrase alert !!
You going to take a full on shower every time you shit? The best option is a bidet if you ask me.
I usually poop once a day and like to shower once a day, I try and line these events up. Bidet is a life saver though for when I'm not running on schedule
They're pretty big shits
Here we go again.
But TP sucks at cleaning your butthole
Well… have you tried inviting your friends and neighbors?
Are acquaintances allowed to the butt party?
yeah and when you do dishes you just wipe the plates with a dry paper towel
No, I put them in a dishwasher where they are cleaned with boiling hot water and a mixture of bleach, hydroxides, sodium carbonate and sodium silicate. Is that relevant to what I do to my ass?
yes
I do reuse a plate all day though.
and you throw away your asshole?
I mean in between washing. I’m not picky about breakfast toast crumbs on my lunch plate. Maybe I should be, but that’s probably not my worst habit
you should be more picky about shit crumbs on your asshole.
I am, that’s the point of my comment about the comparison.
You dont wash your dishes?
it's wild how people are adamant that they should live like fucking cavemen. you know if you washed your asses you would have invaded other countries and justified it with "these animals don't even wash their asses".
wash your nasty ass
