          A supermarket near me has reorganised and they’ve had to put up signs telling people where everything now is. So what was the point in reorganising it?

          I think there should be legal definitions of where things are and what aisles they’re on. I don’t understand why sometimes eggs are considered dairy and other times they’re in a completely different part of the store. I actually don’t care which one they pick but I would like all supermarkets to be consistent. One place near me that has a dairy aisle, for all dairy except yogurts, which are on a neighbouring aisle. Every time I want some cheese I always go down the yoghurt aisle and get lost.

    Adults are just bigger children who:

    • Peer pressured themselves into stop playing. (optional)

    • Know when it’s appropriate to be silly or have to act serious. (Recommended)

    • Understand the concept of consent. (Should be mandatory but somehow isn’t)

    Am i glad video games and lego have gotten normalised for adults at least.

      The self peer pressure is real, I think as an adult you start to take into account the effort it takes to do things so you are more conscious about what is worth doing or sacrificing time from other things to do which lowers the fun part of doing it making it less worth it

                easier to tell apart forks and knives than different spoons!

                or maybe just agree to have one set of spoons facing in and one out in the same pocket, actually that’s better.

      Ugh yes, I don’t even know how I got this spoon. It’s wide and flat, and has these sheer edges like it was just stamped from a sheet of metal and then fucked into a vaguely spoon adjacent shape by aliens who had heard of the concept of spoon and hated people. Somehow the metal is always kind of grimy looking, even when freshly cleaned.

      This spoon will outlive me. It will outlive all of us.

      I bought a new water filter today I’m very pleased with it as it’s slightly different to the previous filter.

      But yes I’ve definitely become a lot more interested in Tupperware then I would have previously thought possible. I think that’s just because when I was a kid things just happened, and now I actually have to make them happen I realise how convenient it is to have storage containers rather than just putting bowls and plates in the fridge and messing around with crappy plastic film.

              Well you can always cover yourself in tattoos and piercings, then people will believe you’re young!

                What a life hack, no I don’t want to look like my boss.

                I would not know in terms of motives and piercings what do they even mean?

          It’s never too late. But yeah the comment should have probably said “parent” instead of adult 😅

    “That’s kinda lame.” Yeah, it all kind of is. And the weird part is you get used to some of it.

      Was going to vehemently dispute this and then realized I’ve attempted several pieces to varying degrees of success over the years. How quickly I suppressed the memories.

    Is it drawn on Post-Its or are you the unfortunate owner of the world’s most painful bathroom?

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

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)

Web of Links
  • !linuxmemes@lemmy.world: “I use Arch btw”
  • !memes@lemmy.world: memes (you don’t say!)
