Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
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)

My lactose intolerance is giving me tummy aches just looking at this.
Wouldn't it become 99% milk the moment it touches his saliva?
No, that's the problem with making 100% milk that he solved: the milk transforms any liquid it touches into more 100% percent milk, so it is truly 100%.
Ah, milk-9.
milkgoo
strange milk.
Also what happens when milk gets old.
Would colostrum be 200% milk?
Wouldn't it be just fat?
Basically, id imagine it would just be like regular butter, no water and all the milk solids that would normally be in the buttermilk
It would, yes.
He's pretty clearly drinking 100% milk
Yeah, he's drinking butter.
No, fat isnβt milk.
Not with that attitude
This exists. It's called ghee.
What about condensed milk?
Ghee? As in ghee butter? That doesn't sound like mad-scientist-developed 100% milk to me.
Checkmate. Glad we clarified that
The percentage listed on milk is the percentage of fat.
100% would be 100% fat -- which is basically butter.
The comic itself is making a play on words, and I am playing along with that play on words. I thought it was clear enough to declare the mad scientist thing.
I don't know what the big deal is. Just take 50 pints of 2% and mix them together.
Homeopathic milk.
Is that anything like Neanderthals, or is this more of a Denisova situation?
50 pints of 2% milk is the same as 2 pints of 50% milk by the power of percentage equivalence
So to get to 100% milk, we need 100 pints of 1% milk
Someone should tell Nile Red there's absolutely no way he'd be able to condense 100 pints of 1% milk into a single pint of 100% milk.
Yeah, right! You just want us to become one of those math problem characters.
Chemical_cutthroat wants 50 pints of milk, but milk only comes in 4 Litre jugs. How many jugs must they buy to make 100% milk?
I'm gonna keep it a buck, I'm bad with math and I love milk, so really whatever you show up with is gonna get a passing grade.
The math checks out, but I'm not certain if the milk science checks out
do people really think it's % of milk? it's fat
That's the joke, goober.
i'm not your goober, doofus >:[
um aksully, when the milk is fat it's called HEAVY cream to emphasize how overweight it is. 2% milk is called 2% milk because it's 2% of the milk. The farmers are scamming you out of 98% of your milk. Whole milk is also a scam. You'd think it's 100% milk, but nope. When they filter 100% milk into 2% milk, whatever leftover doesn't go into the 2% hole becomes "Whole" milk. 1% milk is a rounding error from this system, and don't even get me started on skim milk. They don't even have milk in that milk.
For internet sarcasm reasons, this is a joke.
Oh fuck I thought it was "hole milk."
You wish!
And don't even get me started on hoe milk.
No but its funny to pretend otherwise
That's exactly what my archenemy would say. Now prepare to meet your end
understandable, have great day
People think a LOT of things
I think my grandpa sticks his dick in the milk when nobody is home.
No way!
He does it when people are asleep, but technically they are present.
I'm allergic so I have no clue what the percentage is in relation to. Could be the chance of following our former prime minister and shitting myself in a maccas.
The scientist has created 100% milk. No ambiguity, just milk
would that give me super powers?
Pure milk fat? Your super power will be explosive bowel movements.
Your bones will be indestructible. The rest of your body might be too frail to bear such power, though.
So it'll turn each and everyone into Bruce Willises
Obviously: it's made him bulletproof. Who knows what other powers he'll have when he finishes chugging
Either that or diabetes.
Probably
Dio "reject my humanity" vibes.
