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

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

“They’re putting litter boxes in schools for children who identify as cats!”

Morons.

If she in this universe literally turned to have the behaviour and feature of a cat, and since cat tongue is spiky, does that mean...

Nvm.

God I thought we left these comments on reddit.

Not everyone is on Lemmy at all times. Just because it was posted 3 months ago, which is not really short enough to say "just 3 months ago", doesn't really mean anything. I didn't see it. Either I was not active or it didn't show on my feed. This can apply to a lot of other people. Then there are people who have joined since.
It was 3 months ago. A quarter of a year. If this was posted last week, I'd get it. But 3 months?
Policing reposts is just bizarre. You end up spending time yourself scrolling back through or searching through previous posts to find a link to comment as a gotcha. But... it's not a gotcha. This is the internet and this is a content sharing site. Reposts will happen.

I do not understand this stuff at all. It's just totally and insanely foreign to me.

Not all posts are made for you. A repost for you is not a repost for other people. Calm down.

Edit: Downvote me all you want. If you're so genuinely upset and angry about a repost from 3 months ago then I don't really care about your opinion in the first place. Other people exist. If you're not kind enough or considerate enough to think about literally everyone else who might not have seen it then I don't know what to tell you. Think about someone else for a change and stop thinking your experience is universal. It isn't.

Now that I think about it I vaguely remember the original post from months ago, but I have no clue why anyone would be bothered by it being reposted. It's still a funny comic regardless of whether you've seen it before.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Funnily enough, the one thing I remembered about that post was they called her Batgirl in the title, which was a more valid complaint than this idiot gatekeeper.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yah, I've seen it before, but that's not a bad thing at all. I thought I saw it prior to three months ago as well, but my memory cannot be trusted. Even so, seeing it again makes me chuckle as I carry the comic's situation to how Batman will use her bathroom and if it's #1 or #2. Yes, I am mentally 14 and bathroom humor is a-okay.

Edit: I went and looked. The comic is from July 16, 2021, so I probably saw it on reddit then. I am now in an infinite loop reading Good Bear comics...lol

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Well I liked it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wow, you know what makes this all even worse? This moron JOINED 3 DAYS AGO, so your first point should be valid for them in particular. But nah, let's complain about a post predating the account by 30x.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Don't take this out of context, but age is irrelevant to me. ON THIS. But you know, funny.

I don't care about the age of the account as the long as the point has, well, one. Whining about reposts is just.... narcissistic in my opinion. At least when you're talking about shit 3 months old. If it was a week or two, sure, but come the fuck on dude.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Oh I know, I'm not hung up about age either. On this. Lol

I just thought it was interesting that the complaint wasn't even relevant in any way to the account complaining. Like, really? Why? What thought process was this?!

If I'm a bot then I have had everyone fooled for a very long time. Unfortunately, I have to deal with this egotistical horseshit instead.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

They hated him because he spoke the truth!

3 months! That's a whole damn season for people who touch grass.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Stamets, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say YES!

Oh a bot.. Nvmd

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

God I thought we left these comments on reddit. Chill out, Stamets!

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 week ago

So many words, so little value

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

You should write a bot that tracks this stuff. But instead of posting about it, it keeps it as a list. Then you can identify the worst offenders and quietly block them yourself.
