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]
🍿 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:

Markdown - Links / Images

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)

Those are two questions though

[–] brsrklf@jlai.lu 9 points 2 hours ago (1 child)

The right guy, presumably the liar said "the other only tell truth", then it should be a lie.

And both said she may ask one question, which can't be true and a lie at the same time.

So they are both occasional liars and whatever they say is no help at all.

I think you got them on the first, but if the liar would answer more than one question, while the truth teller will only answer one, "she may ask one question" probably falls under a lie

If we assume "you may ask us one question" implicitly entails "and get an answer from me"... Yeah, maybe.

He always speaks the truth, so he never got approved to get a credit card.

And he's too embarrassed to admit it, smh.

If the guard that lied started with 4 or 5 it may have worked, I doubt she knows how to validate card numbers on the fly.

You assume the dungeon has WiFi or mobile signal.

We are in 2026 I'm pretty sure there are vending machines and ATMs there now

Edit: please ignore this stupid comment I just woke up and I don't know what I'm saying

No, no. I want to hear more about the vending machines and ATMs in dungeons.

Are they the actual loot or do they teleport the stuff from a safer place?
Do the ATMs hand out cash or coins?
Can I get some instant healing for a fee when running away from monsters?
Is the fee subject to dynamic pricing?
Actually, how high is the margin? Is there a wizard that casually TPs to compete with a slightly lower prices?
Are there reverse vending machines to sell the loot without coming back to town?
Do some people just live in the dungeons, getting whatever they need from the vending machines?
Can the monsters use the vending machines?\

Wait, they both say "To find the exit you may ask us one question". Shouldn't one of them always lie?
