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.

🍿 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.

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's like saying pop tarts are more nutritious than heroin.
I would question that as a general statement
pizza is not a health food, but when compared with a quickly poured bowl of sugar flakes, it’s a more balanced meal.
Just use oat flakes, some fruit, some nuts, there is your more healthy alternative.
OTOH, if you compare sugar flakes with a vegetable pizza, with whole grain base, lots of veggies, and not so much cheese, pizza wins
One must admit that oats, fruit and some nuts is not a breakfast cereal
Dairy fats are not unhealthy either, which is where most of the energy intake comes from in the pizza. Plus you don't even need a vegetable pizza to beat what's essentially sugar for breakfast
I don't know where you're coming from on this planet, but in my environment oats, fruit, and nuts were very much breakfast cereals since my childhood. So one can disagree, but two agrees.
You fill this with some type of milk (plant or dairy), but water also does the job or yogurt.
My point is just that it's a stupid claim to say pizza is better if you stay unspecific about what you're eating, really.
This is universally breakfast cereal, this is the comparison point
If you're going to start talking about nuts and fruit, that's something entirely separate
That is cereal, yes, but it's not exclusively cereal. Oat and nuts and fruit, even oatmeal and hot porridges are cereal - in fact my grocery store labels this section "hot cereals."
True but asbestos is more nutritious than cyanide.
from xkcd
Then you hear about a lawsuit against redfarm for false advertising because the marketers didn't verify with the food engineers before adding that and they source their silica filler from an asbestos plant down the street.
I hate to tell you this, but cyanide is more nutritious than asbestos. The body could probably derive some energy from it's C-H bond, whereas asbestos is completely devoid of useful connections.
Typical big Cyanide.
Edit: Also cyanide kills you like instantly asbestos takes years and only kills through proxies it has to be more nutritious yo live than die.
Sure but I prefer the taste of nutty cyanide over rocks
You are eating a complete breakfast at dawn outside‽
Missing is drug use to make some dopamine.
This one hits a little close to home. I, too, must watch every new SummoningSalt video as soon as it drops.
I can understand why, but it's sad that he's stopped using the song that he always used to use. Everyone else started copying the format and doing the same thing though, so him stopping doing a thing that made him stand out actually makes him stand out now.
You can do it at outside at dawn every breakfast!
This is from like 10 years ago right?
maybe core ╮(︶▽︶)╭
A bit under 4 years, it looks like.
Lowkey the plot of Cells At Work (Black) which, while pretty flawed in several ways, was still an interesting spinoff from the original anime
I feel like the white blood cells should be the guards. They're the ones who will kill anything that gets out of line, and they're white....
I think its supposed to represent those doing resource distribution, rather than strictly guards, which red blood sort of does (oxygen at least, maybe other stuff idk)
Almost a good biology joke, except that for most cell types mother cells cease to exist once they split into two daughter cells. So it would have made more sense for their relationship to resemble more an aunt-neice relationship than a mother and son.
what about the rifle, alarm, and pickaxes?
Those are the most accurate part of the comic.
Twins, if you will?
Pizza can indeed be heealthy. But store-bought is not.
You don't know my mom's zucchini+bell pepper pizza.
reads wet💦
too real
How. Fucking. Dare. You.
Nonsense. Everyone likes Mario Kart.
📺Fake news. I hate Nintendo and all the Nintenslop they produce. Besides in 2 years there will be Mario Kart added to No Man's Sky anyways.
I liked the first Mario Kart for SNES, but honestly all the entries* after that haven't done anything for me and frankly I think none of them even feel like full games.
*I haven't played the newest for Switch 2, but it does look like it might have more to it maybe?
