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.

We're supposed to do what now?
Seriously, you need to wash any fruit or vegetable that you don't peel first or you'll be eating pesticides
Carrots often are covered in feces (manure) and the very ugly bacteria that comes with that. No joke.
Or dirt and dust, or animal sneeze, or bird poop.
And if it’s exposed in a bin in a grocery store it’s been handled by some dude who took a shit and didnt wash his hands almost definitely.
Or feces from the hands of the underpaid workers with no access to toilet facilities, who picked the produce.
Assuming that said berry, fruit, or vegetable has been poisoned, which is not always the case...
It will be for pretty much every produce you can buy in supermarkets though.
I'd recommend washing berries with a mix of water and vinegar. They last much longer. Often the punnets have air holes or rinshign holes already so you can just submerge the fruit without unpacking and let it air dry after removal.
Did that with my blueberries last night B)
Won't see me on no hospital floor.
