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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

In my language, "6 7" reads "six sept", which sounds like "cis het", a shorten form for "cisgender heterosexual".
"my language" - this guy trying to sneak french in here without us noticing!
It was an attempt not to always emphasize the fact of being French.
But obviously, even in good faith, humility does not suit us well.
If I say I am using Plasma 6.5, people will guess I use NixOS or Arch, even if I don't say that separately.
That's kinda similar, except that you were much more specific.
If you say something on Lemmy, people will guess you refer to Linux
You mean to tell me that the language where one says 3x20+7 to say sixty seven makes 6-7 mean something?!
Excuse me. But the French damn well have a word for sixty: soixante. And the counting keeps going normally right up to 70, which reads as Sixty Ten. That goes up to Sixty Nineteen, and THEN Four Twenties.
That's honestly so much more cursed than I thought! I seriously thought that in French it was just pure base20 but nope!
Of course! The French language is so meaningless that sometimes things actually mean something.
Oh no! GET THEM!
