Rules
-
๐ Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
๐๏ธ 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.
-
๐งฌ 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.
-
๐ฝ๏ธ 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!
-
๐ 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.,
โ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
โ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
๐ฌ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 ๐) 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 ๐) will be removed.
-
๐ดโโ ๏ธ 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.,
Sรญ, por favor [Spanish/Espaรฑol]
- 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.,

๐ฟ 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
Might not believe me but thereโs a subset of drivers that actually enjoy the ride being dangerous and thrilling ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Itโs reckless and incredibly immature, most probably wonโt admit it or even understand they do it on purpose. They just enjoy the adrenaline and going fast and being an animal about it
I absolutely believe it. I live off a major street. This street passes through a residential area. It has many cross streets every few seconds.
The speed limit through the residential area drops to 25.
People drive through at 80mph. Not exaggerating. I avoid the main road, especially at night when the roads are clear. Never know when nothing will be happening, totally quiet, and then ZOOOOOOOOM a car from 2 miles away nearly runs you over before you see it.
Why is the police not setting up traps?
The place seems like a "license to print money" for the police or even the local city hall if they install a speed trap.
'People who shouldn't have a driving license' is the term, I believe.
I know a lot of them ๐
Some argue they drive this way to stay awake, junkies ๐
We need self driving cars to get these crazies away from steering wheels.
We need to make trains better and far more numerous to make driving the lesser alternative.
Don't disagree, but you won't get rid of cars entirely and they'll still be a major part of transportation. I'm just saying they should at least be safer.
This, but we also need to stop shutting down race tracks and start making them more affordable! The desire to drive fast would be greatly reduced if people had an affordable, legal outlet to do so. But public race tracks are becoming more and more rare, and the ones that are still around charge hundreds to thousands of dollars for a track day, which only encourages people who spent money on a sports car to risk enjoying their car illegally on public roads.
It's a major issue and something needs to be done about it. Sports car enthusiasts need an outlet.
Too impractical in most places in America sadly. I'm just hoping this high speed rail in Cali gets finished. I commute from Sacramento to Los Angeles once a month for stupid meetings and it sucks my choices are drive 7 hours or fly or take a 15 hour train ride one way for a higher price than the other options.
I work at an major airport. We have human sized roombas that just drive around scrubbing the floors.
There is no rhyme or reason to where they go. They coild be going in a straight line, and then no reason cut in front of you. Or spin 360 a few times just spinning in circles.
Or just abuptly stop, and then start zigzagging.
Point is, I do not want these robo cleaners to be car sized, car weight, car fast, and also, hackable.
They tried this before in Japan and Hawaii and it was terrible! People got burnt, electrocuted, and pulled right off the streets!
We need to not have cars at all since that solves all the problems at once
I mean this isn't realistic at all.
It could totally be done if people could get their heads out of their asses and cooperate. So yeah unrealistic.... But I'll still assert it as the ideal we should all aspire to. I can't believe anyone can go down a street and see all the space being used just to house vehicles. This system we have constructed is utterly ridiculous
If they could do that, they could also drive a car without risking people's lives. But they can't.
It would require a quantity of political will to change that status quo that hasn't been seen for nearly a century but it's certainly possible.
The first step is to openly dream about it. Bring more people into the dream. Don't forget the dream. Once enough people have the same desires, eventually the right people will start working to make that dream a reality. This is the same practice used in astroturfing campaigns, except instead of working to make the world a more expensive and shitty place, let's steal the practice to make it better!
No people should only have ideas that perpetuate the status quo!
Seeing how car company refuse responsibility and driver often not paying attention and takeover when needed, this is a bigger disaster waiting to happen.
