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

Rules
  1. πŸ˜‡ 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. πŸ“½οΈ 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. πŸ“‹ 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.,
      βœ… Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. πŸ“¬ Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 πŸ–) 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 πŸ–) will be removed.
  7. πŸ΄β€β˜ 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]
  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)

Living in Toronto I can't relate to most of these comments. I've been cooking since I was a teen, I consider myself pretty good. Wife loves my stuff, as do friends/fam.

But the restaurant game here is so good I can't possibly rival it, and the variety is absurd.

Add more butter and salt until it taste good.

It Gets Better

Needs salt and pepper prolly

[–] Gormadt@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 month ago

A little salt, pepper, or acidity can go a long way in improving a dish.

I like the food I've cooked but man having a treacherous body that has pain from just existing means the making of the food is fraught. Also I'm usually the one making dinner so it's exhausting everyday. Wish food could just pop into existence.

[–] Gormadt@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Meal prep is a godsend!

I make my breakfast a week at a time (over night oats), my lunches are typically sandwiches made day of, and my dinner is usually pilaf or lasagna made in roughly 10 day portions.

Doing such large portions minimizes cook and prep time which is great.

The problem is meal prep exhaust me, and also my husband wants different food constantly. Were it just me, I can eat the same thing every single day. He is a normal human and needs variety apparently!

I do prep occasionally when I have the energy. Canning soups, chili, or making lasagna, pasta, freezable stuff and uh freezing it!

I get the comic, but I wonder if people get that they have a choice at the end - throw up their hands and face the inevitable conclusion that cooking your own food is a hopeless pipe dream, or learn to cook.

Half the time!

I make fried rice, wtf.

[–] petrol_sniff_king@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's the soy sauce, man, you gotta be careful with that stuff.
