    Not all bats, a few species of bats, and it’s technically menstration but different from “overt menstration” found in humans and primates.

    Most mammals have an estrous cycle where the uterine lining is reabsorbed if pregnancy doesn’t occur. If the uterine lining is destroyed instead, its menstration. Here’s a paper that has an overview of the other mammals that have menstrual cycles and how they work.

              Nah, at least one of the Ks has to have something to do with kitchens, Kevins or kneeling. Those are the rules that I just made up for no apparent reason.

      Some people argue that bats are primates, but I don’t know enough about taxonomy to say. I do know that there was a defining feature for primates that had to get deleted from the primate definition because we found it in bats.

        https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_primate_hypothesis

        TL:DR : flying foxes’ (those really large bats) brains are connected to their eyes in a similar way to primates, but different from all other mammals (including smaller bats). Though apparently this theory doesnt hold up when comparing the DNA from flying foxes with small bats and primates respectively.

    Friend of mine had bats in between his attic and the outdoor screen, used to climb a ladder to check them out.

      I was in my parents’ yard once and something wet fell on my head. I touched it and it was blood red. Totally thought I was bleeding until I noticed tiny berry seeds in the substance. My grandma said that happening to me meant I’d have good luck.

          She just said general good luck. I believed her because I’m convinced she a witch or druid or some shit. She has this uncanny ability to know things she has no way of knowing. She’s also absolutely incredible with plants.

              Lmao apparently she was hot when she was young. She isn’t blood related to me, so I didn’t inherit any cool plant powers from her. I’m actually terrible with plants, tbh. Great with ducks, though.

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:

  • Markdown - Links / Images

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)
