Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
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
- 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
"It existed before" and some kind of stolen valor argument? Who the fuck cares, what's your actual point. No one is calling themselves Torvalds or wtv while vibe coding anyways, the whole comment is just emotional whining and goal post shifting.
"name one good thing that you can make your machine"
"it can add peanut butter and jelly to bread"
"we had that, it was called a knife"
"yes but this machine works by pouring arsenic into the water supply!"
I dont care about the stolen valor I'm saying this machine did something we could already do slightly faster at a massive social and environmental cost.
“name one good thing that you can make your machine”
“it can make a full 3 course meal in 30 seconds”
“we had that, it was to be a professional chef or someone with hours and days of time”
Do you guys see how eye roll worthy your replies are to anyone who uses it?
they have played us for absolute fools
Name one good thing a food processor has made. That's what you sound like.
Fyi, an AI request is about 1 second of microwave use. I'm guessing you never use a microwave, a minute worth would be more than my daily use of energy with AI.
We're past the point where you can pretend AI doesn't have multiple massive negative impacts. Sure, your individual use is not a problem on its own. But the models you used had to be trained. Future models need to be trained. And that cost must also be considered in each of your queries. You're still participating in normalizing and justifying the existence of AI. All while they extract value from you and others they never got permission from.
Well, I guess we'll just see who was right in 20 years when we're overwhelmed by the flood of climate caused migration while at the same time having lost the ability to have any independent thought.
In the end, it's electricity. The only thing seperating good vs bad AI is a proper grid running around renewable which we need in any case and should have had a decade ago.
It's also massive hypocrisy. Data centres have been around for a while, no one complains about the cost of running YouTube and Netflix, or the cost of developing CoD and running the servers. One AI query is about 10 seconds of streaming, are you critical about watching tv? Should I calculate the cost of making a movie and remove it from the 10 seconds or do you only use that logic with AI?
You got told to be mad by the media and that's why you are mad.
Aaaand you entirely missed the point I made.
Ahhh yes, I'm ignoring your point but you aren't with your trite reply?
I addressed your point. You blame climate change and environmental damage on it while I'm saying that's on lax environmental regulations and corrupt politicians. You've been convinced by the oil industry that the technology is deeply coupled with how power is generated and that it's at fault ultimately. Obviously, look away from the constant bribes that are killing renewable projects, it's the fault of software. Not the software you like and use everyday like streaming movies and videos though, the new one that the media tells you is bad.
where on the doll did the AI touch you dude...

Have you tried having a government that can govern?

ps. I don't use American AI, I use Mistral which is French and Lumo/Scaleway which are European
