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.,

🍿 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)

I don’t know why we ever “fall back”. I dream of a life in which we “spring forward” and stay there forever.
I dream of a life where noon is noon and we worked fewer hours so we could just get off earlier and hav plenty of daylight before and after work kn the summer.
Like if working hours were 9 to 3 it would be even better than DST in the summer!
I love working third shift because it's my choice whether i want morning daylight to myself OR afternoon daylight.
LOL dream on.
We should stay on standard time. DST is fucking dumb
If we stay on permanent DST you get to go to work and school in the dark.
And on standard you come home in the dark. I'm doing more after work than before.
Yes, exactly. With standard time I go to work in the dark and come home to am hour of daylight. I'd love for that to be two hours.
I would love DST permanent, but I understand that it’s not great mentally for school kids to get up and go to school in the dark. I would sacrifice that for the next generation to have a better experience.
But really we should start school later.
I’ve worked both day and night shifts. My experience with day shift is 90% of the people working it aren’t awake until 9-10am anyway. Pre shift time is “work” adjacent time.
Evenings, on the other hand, are the best. Having a day that lasts into 830-10pm is glorious.
No, you're only looking at one half of the argument.
I'm in an area that would benefit greatly from permanent DST. But permanent DST absolutely hoses those in the western parts of time zones in the winter.
The other half is that permanent Standard time is healthier for us.
In what way? Healthiness of a time standardization seems like it would be hard to validate. I personally prefer DST I’ve never considered either healthier or unhealthier. I remember hearing statistics about an abnormal number of car accidents and stuff happening the Monday after DST/ST changes. I’ve also heard some rhetoric about risk of car accidents with kids walking to bus or school being mitigated by standard time.
I’m assuming you mean something less acute than those which are focused on immediate outcomes like death lol? The only thing health related I can think of is daylight exposure and vitamin d levels, but it seems inconsistent whether people are more likely to take advantage of extra morning sunlight or evening sunlight. Seems like it would be a wash?
Anyway, I’m legitimately interested to know what you mean by “healthy”

Did you actually read the link? The study basically attributes all of the negative effects to the change and not specifically standard time or daylight saving time, so I think what that means is DST is no more or less good for people than standard time. The switching is the part that is harmful.
I did read the link and ~~wonder if you read it~~ know you didn't read past the first few lines.
Also, this is literally everywhere. Go Google it. Ciao.
yep, you’re toxic in all of your comments.
quit being so toxic.
Ciao.
Wow you just stalked through a week's worth of comments. Your lack of introspection is astounding.
Getting there in the dark sounds just fine. I want sunlight during more of my personal hours.
Split the two and make half way between dst and st permanent.
Just don't change your clocks and go by whatever time you want. Don't be a dst conformist, fight the man, light your neighbors house on fire, the possibilities are endless when you stop caring
Unfortunately I need to eat which requires showing up to a workplace, or at least logging in, at specific times.
Just rob a Walmart, if you get caught you go to jail where they feed you for free AND you don't have to block in anymore, win win
Just spring forward 30 minutes and leave it there forever
Ew no I hate daylight savings time, I'm glad it's finally normal again
Because of like farmers 100 years ago apparently
Actually, not in the slightest:
Been there, done that. Cows absolutely hate DST, as do most livestock, but cows are the worst. And your complete schedule needs to change and it takes months to acclimatize to the new schedule.
It was started during WWI to increase production.
“The first iteration of Daylight Saving Time was officially implemented two years into the First World War in Germany. After Germany established this practice, almost every other country that fought in the war followed suit, including Canada, the United States and much of Europe.”
Nope! Mostly golfers. Farmers never cared for DST.
Daylight savings is the summer and so society could revolve around banking hours by shifting sunrise closer to when the banks open. It has nothing to do with farmers, as they just starting work when the sun is up.
