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.
-
🏴☠️ 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.,
Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
- 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.,

🍿 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
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
You pay enough to the right therapist you could probably snort cocaine out of their asshole. Student loans are no joke.
I’ve finally actually snorted cocaine out of my partner’s asshole and it was exactly as fantastic as I thought it would be
I've been told tonight that I should not try cocaine. It is totally underwhelming and only brings addiction. If I want to dabble in drugs, I should try psychedelics. XTC at a music festival is fine too.
I'm not directly experienced, just throwing that out at the start.
There are things more addictive than cocaine, like heroin. NEVER, ABSOLUTELY NEVER do heroin.
But if you do end up being a coke-fiend, that does suck. And it seems the individual often has very little control of their ability to get addicted or not.
I'd never touch it. At least not before 80. I don't think it's worth the risk.
But I also don't think it's beneficial to lie and exaggerate in order to promote drug-phobia.
I had a friend who was addicted to coke for a very short time. Another friend, found his stash, flushed it, and threatened him with life-changing consequences. He quit, and has been successful since.
More recently, I went to a bar with a person I knew from the Internet. When he went to the bathroom, another patron told me, "after the third coke joke it's not a joke".
There's also the more modern danger. If you think you're doing cocaine and it's actually half cocaine, half fentanyl (much cheaper), then you're probably dead. Maybe they didn't intend to cut it half and half. Maybe they just didn't stir well.
One of the best things about the Anarchists Cookbook:
"You want to smoke pot? Here's how you get and smoke pot. You want to drop acid? Here's how to get and drop acid. You want to snort coke? Here's how you get and snort coke. You want do do heroin? You have to be fucking NUTS to want to do heroin, no, we aren't telling you that."
I will only do XTC at home with my partner at this point in my life. If we’re not just disgusting intertwined naked sweaty piles of hedonism, writing in bed, I don’t wanna do it.
Cocaine is fine, it can be fun but you need to get GOOD coke (very rare most places) and also be doing something else fun while on it. I might just be lucky but I do not get fiendy for coke, and when it’s not around I don’t think about it. I’ll usually go through .4g on a heavy night, between me and my partner.
I loves psychedelics when I was younger, but nowadays I just like pure feel-good chems personally. I’ll do LSD or DMT or MDA occasionally.
To be fair, that friend I talked to came from the hard-core sales bros community, which is kinda known for its unhealthy cocaine culture.
Now that I can definitely understand. With my partner and I, it’s a very occasional treat. I mean, when we buy a ball, we’re doing it every night until it’s gone. But only in the evenings, and we don’t do very much of it every day. Then once it’s gone, we’re good for a good portion of the year.
…I should pick some up soon, it’s been a while. We’ve also been abstaining due to the cross tolerable with MDMA, which is in the plans for… now-ish.
I'm just waking up. My brain isn't fully on yet. I read that as
I was ready yo conclude you're from Alabama, but was confused by how someone from Alabama could afford cocaine.
Well they never said their partner isn't their parent so this could still work
Go on...
Just absolutely gakked and I’m like “yo can I do a line off yer aiiise” and they’re like “lol okay”
We both have very clean bums thanks to bidet, so it wasn’t a poopy expected, just kinda smells like their musk a lil
But I eat from there, so why not try blow as well?
Sounds like you're living your best life I'm happy for you fam
Thank you. I’d like to hope I am.
Yeah, it's kinda shitty.
Luckily since we have a bidet, no poo involved!
