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]
- 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)

The US House has passed a resolution to make DST permanent, so the folks who want permanent DST in the US might get their wish. But, I'm telling you, people are going to complain when their kids are having to walk to school in the pitch dark in the middle of winter.
Around here, kids go to school in the dark in the winter regardless if it is DST or ST.
They could follow the recommendations of the pediatrician’s group (I forgot the name) and start school at a reasonable hour so that growing kids can get enough sleep.
Yeah I have clear memories of driving to school in the dark because of the asinine concept that is zero period
EDIT: I just learned California recently passed a law preventing high schools from starting before 8:30am to combat teen sleep deprivation. Good for them
My province switched to permanent DST this year, so we're experiencing it for the first time and it's... not that bad 🤷
I'm in Vancouver where it's already cloudy, and some kids were already heading to school an hour early for various extracurriculars
IMO if kids going to school in the dark is really a problem, then it should be fixed by adjusting when school starts and ends rather than changing the clock for every single person. I like having more sunlight in the afternoon when I can make use of it, compared to in the morning when it's used up by transit / getting ready for work and school.
However I wouldn't mind it too much if we had switched to permanent standard time either. I'm just glad that we don't have to change anymore.
To hell with the kids, I want to live too.
Why can't you live on permanent standard time?
Because it’s dark when I go to work, and dark when I leave work.
Then pick up an earlier shift, or move to Ecuador. Why do the rest of us have to adjust our clocks to accommodate you?
The week after time change is the week with the highest heart attack rate and most car accidents. It’s dumb as shit.
I know, I don't want to change my clocks ever again. I'm on standard time right now where I am in the US. Unless something changes, I'll have to change my clocks again in March, to DST. I don't want to do that, but I'll have to because of people like you who insist that EVERYONE must do what YOU want.
What? Where the fuck do you get that? I don’t want the time change either.
We should have one, year-round time but it should be standard time not DST. Here's why.
And sunrise at 4:30 in the summer, sounds like a great plan for circadian rhythm.
Its nice to have sun light at the end of a slave wage shift. Schools and most jobs could start later. Most studies show humans do better when there is sunlight, because its what we had for millions of years to guide us.
Well if we're willing to change school and work schedules, why not have the slave wage shift start even earlier so that there's even more sunlight hours during your free time? If you started your shift at midnight, you'd be coming home right about the time the sun's coming up. Seriously. If the goal is to have as much of the winter sunlight hours line up with people's after work time, that'd be about the best way to do it.
Day and night don't follow our clocks. The sun shines when the sun shines, days get shorter in the winter the further you are from the equator and we just have to live and work around that.
They’re not going to pass it by January when the new Congress starts.
