    As a developer and wear the first one. But my computer is a Mac so I guess it’s a tie.

    It’s baffling how those 70s/80s molester/serial killer glasses became fashionable again. In the context of those decades they look barely alright, but when worn by people of today they just make a person look terrible.

      Aviators never went out of style, they’re the cheapest large lens you can get!

      I wear them in transitions and the wife and I love joking that I swap between “badass lawman” when they’re in sunglasses mode and “70s cult leader” when they’re in normal glasses mode

      Though I think wearing a hat massively helps the serial killer vibes those give off. If I put my flat cap on I look fine, take it off and book, Dahmer

      I think a lot of people get them because they’re the cheapest frames.

      I’ll forever associate these glasses with the annoying boss from Office Space.

    I have top left because that’s what my insurance will pay. I’m top right though, as all I want to do is seeeeee.

      Eye insurance, even subsidized by an employer, is a racket. I pay for an appointment out of pocket at a place like Costco and get glasses from Zenni. Don’t even need a Costco membership.

        I’m on state insurance, and they’ll pay for it all. Just a limited selection of frames!

      Yes that’s me, though for the last few years I’ve been considering going for something a bit more jazzy, I just can’t get myself to do it when it comes time to get a new pair. I’m gonna have to wear them every day with every outfit, the entire day, I just want some I’ll forget about, comfortable to wear and resistant to my lack of care.

        Absolutely! My reasoning as well. “Elegant” goes with just about everything.

    I would say mine are halfway between top right and top left, which, if I’m being honest, is extremely appropriate.

    For the record, I also started with top center in sixth grade and did bottom left as a teenager.

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!)
