        Most advertising works about 15% of the time.

        Eventually in that industry you come to the realization that 15% of the population is just extremely suggestible.

        And of that 15% there’s people who ate TidePods because of TikTok.

        So yes, if this was shown widely enough at least one person would eat a packet.

          Silica gel is inert. It’s not harmful, but the packets are a choking hazard. It’s basically glass.

          That’s probably not how you escape the simulation.

        I knew a guy in high school that would do self destructive stunts for attention.

        I saw him eat silica gel on several occasions. I’m sure it’s not good for you but it’s not like he died or anything.

          The main warning is because it’s commonly shipped with food, and even though it’s not toxic, it’s certainly not edible. So it’s to stop people from eating it.

      As long as they are not of the blue type they are apparently not toxic or poisonous. Might increase ones chance to get cancer, but that is about it. You’ll just shit it back out and if you eat a few dozen it might clog up your intestines.

      I’d still avoid eating it though.

        The paper is gotta be a problem, there’s no saying what’s in it or in the paint.

        They will also increase in size and dry some parts of your body, so try to keep your consumption moderate.

      That’s a thought provoking storyline, because he says he doesn’t want to remember anything, and he also tells them he wants to be a rich rock star. So if they put him in, wipe his memory, and give him a different life than he had previously, is it even him anymore? Not that it matters, since they wouldn’t put him back in anyways. They’d just kill him along with everyone else when they attack the ship. You don’t do favors for glitchy batteries, you throw them out.

      Well obviously they aren’t going to let the secret out like this. Silica gel and tide pods actually just drop you ome level deeper into the simulation. Really what you need to eat is removed.

        I mean all the people who tried them didn’t do it twice so either they were replaced by the simulation because they were free or they didn’t like what awaited them outside the wire.

      Did you know there are upholstery cops that come by and make sure you’re putting those tags on? They don’t come around often but they do exist. I know an upholsterer who got fined for not having any. The stuffed articles act is Real Shit.

          I got into upholstery because I went to art school and got a textile degree. I imagine you become an upholstery cop because you like bureaucracy. In Canada they’re the TSSA- Transit and Safety Something Something. They regulate airplanes, busses, boats and roller-coasters. And mattress tags.

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)
