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)

That was back when people thought machines would make workers lives easier. What a fun fantasy that was.
It remains less than a generation away, if we can win it.
We can do it with planned static technology, no need for MML's. Just need to well, make ALL corps go bankrupt first.
Problem is it won't be an idle life of luxury, it will be 90% of the world living on the streets because there are no jobs, but everything still costs money.
Don't forget food, energy, and climate crisises that are already well underway no matter how well we solve the fascist billionaires problem
The quicker we start the later, the better chance we have at solving the former.
That's on each state's people, I guess.
Ohhhh!
damn the jetsons, thats a nostalgia hit.
Obligatory oof: The Jetsons was set in 2065. George Jetson is 40 years old. Therefore George Jetson was born last year.
I've had a robot vacuum since 2018, and it's still going strong.
It's easily in the top 5 of best purchases I've ever made
we got one a while ago, but our cats never rode it. waste of money
Robot vacuums are like "robot" dishwashers. They're helpful, but a huge percentage of the physical work remains.
I want a robot dishwasher that collects dirty dishes around the apartment, loads them, runs the cycle, puts away the clean dishes, and re-runs the still dirty dishes.
I want a robot maid that picks up all the stuff on the floor, puts it away, vacuums the floor without getting stuck on a chair, cleans the tops of throw rugs without moving them, empties its contents into the trash, and cleans the hair off its own axles.
when's the last time you didn't have a dishwasher
22 years ago, why?
did you live by yourself or were you doing dishes for a family? because that makes a difference. i'm thinking you may have some recency bias
I was living with roommates, one of whom was absolutely terrible about doing her own dishes. But I still don't get what your overall point is?
that having a dishwasher has made you forget.
no worries, i went through it too. like, when i moved in with my wife we didn't have a dishwasher for the first time for me in like five years and it was An Adjustment.
I get your point. I'm not op, but it makes the task easier. It doesn't eliminate it is their point. I get yours. That the manual sink washing is more of a chore and also more time sensitive. I too would like to never have to empty the dishwasher, which often has a whole days stuff, not just one meal. For families, this can be a bunch of stuff and neverending.
So like, I remember when the power went out for long enough I forgot how long it was out. Pro tip, the best drying rack in the house is the dishwasher
The z70 can do all of that, no?Β
Do you still have the same robot vacuum from 2018? For me they break so often, Im on a third one since 2020.
I do! I've done some DIY repairs on it several times. It's a Roborock S5. I've had to replace the lidar motor and the charging station, but it's still going strong.
The future is now.
Popular imagery?
Edit. Ugh sorry for posting AI without warning. Can't believe I was fooled by a signature
I don't know why I even thought the picture looked strange but I can't actually find anything wrong with it except maybe the chair's wheels and the unknown artist's signature
Someone else pointed out that it's odd to see rosey have feet, and her trademark wheels are shown underneath the seat instead, making it look really odd
Oh god, Rosey has feet. And her wheels are under the chair!! Ewww!
Does anyone remember that βdonβt do drugsβ commercial from the 1980s βI learned it from watching you.β
He isn't angry, just very focused on the Rosie's posterior. The vacuuming is plausible deniability.
