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]
- 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.,
-
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)

MODERATORS
I think scp 096 breached containment
LPT: blow on your mug of gin and tonic before carefully taking sips.
A screwdriver looks like orange juice when you can't smell it.
And I thought Ncuti Gatwa's version looked weird.
A screwdriver being the thing that drives screws?
Probably not, they likely mean the alcoholic drink
That looks nothing like orange juice
If they mention it, complain you don't make enough and have to buy really shitty, watery orange juice and they should be ashamed that they've humiliated you, etc... etc...
Now you get to drink during calls AND you're making more money.
There are some orange juice brands here that kinda look like that. If you squeezed it yourself it'd look pretty close.
If you had something like squash or mi waidi (?) mixed with water it looks the same.

No, a screwdriver being a mixture of orange juice and vodka.
I... You know what we should make a combination everclear/whatever they call those drinks for old people like ensure. Call it The Mondays, sell em by the case. As business supplements.
Actually, I've got a case of the Capitalism. (It's terminal.)
No it isn't comrade. Join your local socialist groups (unless they're MLs who think Stalin was good and China is a country to emulate, in which case, find another group who are sane and actually socialist).
At least, I refuse to believe it's terminal!
Wishing you love and solidarity from Australia πͺ
Ah, there's a Capitalism for every day of the week!
I always put a shirt when on company calls β I wouldn't trust the camera not suddenly turning on (or myself β not turning the camera on by accident).
Not pants tho β they are staying in the closet.
Put the pants on the back of the chair as a power move. They can't see that you're not wearing pants, but they can see you're not wearing those and wonder
Stick-on sliding lens covers are super cheap
But less fun and less honest
I've been on the other end of that lol, dude came on shirtless, freaked and left the meeting.
They scream?
"Donald Duck-ing it."
Zoom meetings have always been pants-optional.

Ohh I remember being the only one with their camera off while people spoke this kinda crap too!
Now in a new job that doesn't have meetings. At all. I think our manager protects us from them. Or perhaps he protects the rest of the company from us?
I think our manager protects us from them.
Most (good) managers don't want to be in these meetings any more than you do. Especially since they'd have to be the one running it and doing a lot of the talking. Manager might just be protecting themself.
Most (good) managers don't want to be in these meetings any more than you do.
I must not have met a good one, cuz mine are always suggesting we meet for something that should be a teams message or email
I must not have met a good one
Yeah, good ones are rare.
"And what's behind that door?"
"Damn you are new, that's HerbGrower's place, we don't go there."

a job without meetings?! π€©
Being a professional hitman does have its perks.
Leaning into the old because I refuse to use βreclaimedβ incel 4chan speak
I witnessed the cesspits from whence that shit fomented, back in the days of gamergate, and will not touch it with a 100 foot pole.

I am glad that when I did a team shuffile I was left out of team meetings so now I have no meeting at all.
At my job I basically never have meetings since Iβm a resource to do work and not technically a βteam memberβ on any projects. Recently, some of my younger coworkers were talking about doing 8am stand-ups with the whole department to allow people to chip in about eachotherβs work, and I almost lost it.
This is better than winning the lottery.
If you won the lottery and wisely invested the money, you could live off of it, quit your job, and also not have to go to team meetings.
Problem with that is you wouldn't be able to win the lottery unless you're buying tickets, and in that case you would probably not be a natural at that wisely investing money thing.
