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.

This cutesy idea of making hardware pretend to be human and have a fake need for dignity is disgusting.
If I smash my thumb, I can yell at my hammer to go fuck a cactus and throw it on the floor. I don't need any moral panic as if I am going to cuss out humans if I get away with yelling at my hammer.
I tell my Google assistant to go fuck itself every time I ask for directions to a place, and it asks me "which one" when the second nearest is over 100 miles away. I also tell it to fuck itself every time it just stops listening while I'm talking without telling me, which is shockingly often.
Don't throw hammers unless you're doing the hammer throw, respect your tools.
It bit me. It must be punished.
Politeness and dignity are just as much for yourself as for the recipient.
