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

Rules

  1. 😇 Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.

  2. 🏘️ 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.

  3. 🧬 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.

  4. 📽️ 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!

  5. 📋 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/

  6. 📬 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.

  7. 🏴‍☠️ 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]

  8. 🍿 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.

  1. Jago
  2. Stonetoss
  3. 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)

Not a problem. I don't want their overpriced garbage anyway.

So I am an app fan. If there's an app available, I will use it. However, I do have to say the fast food industry is one of the few industries that I had used the apps for and then stopped.

Mostly because you can take any fast food restaurant out there and it will likely fall into at least one of these categories.

  • app barely functions
  • food gets prepared when you arrive anyway
  • deals on the app are either non-existent or not worth it
  • improper worker training leads to order mistakes or deals not applied

You would think that the number one reason for not using the app in today's world would be the absurd pricing for the food or the fact that there is non-existent deals. But honestly, the second bullet point is the one that I have the biggest issue with.

Like seriously, what is the point in ordering ahead using a mobile app if you arrive at the establishment and you have to wait 20-30 minutes in the drive-through line anyway? You go by the drive-through window anyway to get your order. You might as well just place the order at the drive-up window, be able to vocalize exactly what you want in the order without the restrictions that the app forces you on it, and if they're out of something or one of their machines are broken so they can't do a part of the water, they can inform you of that before you give them your money.

McDonald's is notorious for that. I used to give them a pass because you weren't charged until you arrived there anyway, so it made sense that they didn't prep ahead. But about four years ago now, I believe, they updated the app to charge you when you place the order, and then proceed to still not start your order until you go up to the drive-through window and give them your order code.

Makes it easier to eat healthy at this pace.

I only know one person who's downloaded an app for a fast food place irl. There's no difference beyond getting a discount or free item occasionally ime
