I'm convinced my wife is at least partially a reptile. The inability to maintain body heat is amazing.

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)

Im pretty sure my wife's feet secrete ice. They are somehow still freezing cold despite being in the thickest socks I could find.
My wife refers to the electric blanket as the single best thing that has ever happened to her. She says she doesn't need me anymore.
R.I.P this mans marriage.
Fun fact estrogen makes people feel colder. Many trans women, including myself, have a much harder time staying warm after starting hrt. I don't remember the exacts but it changes blood flow and makes it easier to lose heat
I thought I read somewhere that it directed more to the core instead of the extremities
My core is a god damned furnace.
My feet? My hands???
Icicles.
It's painful! I shove my hands into my armpits to warm them but my feet can't contort like that.
Hold up, could I be getting cold hands and feet because my hormones are messed up? Now that is messed up.
I just sit cross legged so I can shove my feet in my legpits aka knee behind
Maybe? I'm on the depo shot, and it is a hormone shot I'm pretty sure, and I've never had colder feet. So other hormone changes could absolutely do things to feet and hands I'd think!
I am trying to imagine a woman sitting cross legged, but somehow have her foot behind her knee where it bends. And I cannot imagine that without the visual looking like some glitchy AI image. Like the leg would have to bend in half between the knee and the ankle for that to happen.
LADY!!! HOW ARE YOU DOING THIS??? This is like some circus side show shit. There's the man with a beard of bees, and the woman who can bend her leg in inhuman ways. Are you SURE you have bones? Wait, are you a cat? Have cats finally gained sentience within the human world, and begun understanding human languages and also technology? I knew this day would come. I hope everyone realizes that the 48th president is going to be a cat. And they will enact laws such as "Mandatory knocking things off tables" laws. They'll also make it mandatory for you to open the door for them, so that they can sit there and mentally laugh at how ridiculous you look opening the door for them at their beck and call. Your cat owns you. Your cat laughs at how pathetic you look scooping their poop. That's why they poop IMMEDIATELY after you spend 30 minutes cleaning their litter box. IMMEDIATE poop. I mean like you haven't even gotten up off the floor yet, and they're already in there pooping. Just to show you that they don't appreciate your work at all. They poop on your hard work. Literally. And then every morning you'll wake up to them inserting their butthole right into your face. They haven't figured out how to just sit on your face, but they're trying real hard. You're their servant, and they love it. Now they're going into politics.
And honestly? I'm kind of looking forward to it. That's how bad trumps presidency is. I am now willingly open to the idea of a cat as president instead of him. Knowing full well how much of a little asshole cats are, it can't possibly be worse than trump.
You just reminded me of the movie Superstar, or the SNL sketches it was based on.
"Sometimes I get nervous, so I stick my hands into my armpits to warm them up.....AND THEN I SNIFF THEM LIKE THIS!!!"
I'm sure it's easier to put your foot in your mouth to warm it up.
You'd think doing that would warm feet up but I do it constantly and it doesn't!!
Does that mean your mouth is just as cold?
Cold from all the feet.
You could put your feet in your kneepits, but I'm not sure how warm they are.
Mine is always cold, but turns into a fucking nuclear reactor when she falls asleep.
A mobile thermonuclear reactor that needs to cuddle. I need a cool bottle of water nearby at all times to prevent overheating.
let's try bleeding monthly for a week for a couple of decades and see if we can still keep our feet warm
we should also spend half of that month with a lower body temperature
Mine's a heat battery. Normally colder than anyone around, but let's go cuddle and sleep and 1h later I'm overheating after she reached critical heat and started radiating it back.
is this "found"?

What do you mean by that?
There's an infamous comic titled "Loss" and it's become a meme to try to remind people of it by making other comics with a similar arrangement of characters. The comic in this post has kind of a reversed arrangement, so one might see it as the opposite of Loss, therefore "Found".
Ah I figured it had something to do with Loss but I couldn't see the resemblance at all
They are joking about it because it looks similar to the webcomic Ctrl+Alt+Del
Bunch of show-offs in here bragging about having wives...
I don't know if it's a brag when the relationship is that transactional.
So not just me
Good to know Iβm not the only sufferer of wife having cold feet
I think my partner and I have had almost this exact conversation even.
Holy shit Something Positive. I used to read this religiously. Glad to see it's still around.
Right? I've been reading that since like, high school.
Oh man, it's been forever since I read this webcomic.
And yeah, that's pretty much how my 20 years of marriage has been.
I actually don't get it, can someone please explain ?
The guy got a milkshake for his wife and she was grateful, then they both got sarcastic because that's how they do.
Ah, ok
Is that what a chocolate malt is? I was wondering about that. Do they actually add malt to it?
Yes and yes. It's pretty good imo, my favorite milkshake flavor. They were super popular in the 1920s.
