Rules
-
😇 Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
🏘️ 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.
-
🧬 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.
-
📽️ 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!
-
📋 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/
-
📬 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.
-
🏴☠️ 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]
- 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.,

🍿 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.
- Jago
- 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:
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)

I just counted, if I made the bed each morning I’d be trapping the bed sheets under at least 8 other layers of fabric. A comforter, a weighted blanket, and sometimes another blanket. The weighted blanket alone has 5 layers to it, the comforter 3.
How exactly are there fewer layers to trap moisture when your sheets and blankets are bunched and piled up?
Where do you think the person’s body was? The spot where all the moisture would be? Probably the big gaping area where there’s a person shaped layback of the sheets.
The options aren’t “let the moisture out by making the bed” or “let the moisture out by leaving the bed unmade”… the options are “don’t let the moisture out at all by making the bed” or “let most of the moisture out by leaving the bed unmade”.
What in the ever loving fuck are you trying to communicate with that disgusting bed 😂 Needs more cigarette cartons and used tissues
You can leave your sheets folded down while you're in the shower or eating breakfast and then just pull them up when you're done. I do this every day. Seriously, this takes less than 10 seconds. I also wash my sheets once per week. Do y'all find people who want to have sex with you in a bed like this?
They are in fact so unaccustomed to the concept of sex that they posted this 100% seriously, without realizing that this example more than doubles the amount of fabric covering the location where your partner sleeps
Amazing
I don’t know why you’re spamming my inbox with multiple replies to the same comment. I also see you’re posting a random unrelated study about dehumidifiers at other people, while misrepresenting it as a study about bed making vs. not.
You are simply incorrect about the facts, even to the point of advocating for leaving wet towels in a pile. Amazing. Beyond that I’m not particularly interested in spending any more time arguing with you over the most basic hygiene habits that indicate to others whether you are a child or an adult.
I can however empathize with the additional complexity of the task if you sleep under a four inch thick 160 pound sheet of lead along with multiple auxiliary comforters. In that situation you’re supposed to fold the heavy items up towards the foot of your bed. Best of luck to you
The study is about trapping moisture. It references mites in your bed from making it vs not. It’s a simple thing, closing something up traps moisture.
Stating “you’re incorrect about the facts” when you are the one that doesn’t understand basic physics is the amazing thing.
Here’s what you said, so you can’t delete your comment later out of shame.
You are a 100% proven liar. The study has literally nothing to do with making a bed vs not. It is about humidity in the whole home.
Here is an actual quote from the study
Crazy what ctrl f can come up with. Hey let’s keep going
Great so they literally didn’t monitor mites in bedding whatsoever, and also note that it’s a complete non issue if you employ basic hygiene practices. Do you? You never answered my question btw, you said a made bed must smell “worse”. Does your bed smell at all?
As an aside, are your blankets made of impermeable plastic? I have a theory as to how you have become so confused about the principles of evaporation
Good fucking lord you are a fucking idiot. It literally references the two studies in that quote you provided. Not only that but you are a human. You can make a fucking deduction. Why would you need frequent laundering in a humid environment but not in a dry environment like the Rocky Mountains (go ahead and ctrl f that in there).
I didn’t say it fucking did! I said it REFERENCES IT. Learn to fucking read! Like holy shit!
We’ll come back to this.
Unless you’re using pure cotton or silk sheets then yes, your sheets are made of mostly impermeable plastic. This isn’t some crazy thing. It’s a basic fact of life.
To cover this and the “basic hygiene practices” I point you here: https://www.sciencefocus.com/the-human-body/your-bed-s-hidden-biome-could-be-ruining-your-sleep and good fucking lord don’t just ctrl f. Read the whole damn article.
Please learn how to fucking do your own research. And stop spouting off nonsense, especially nonsense that makes literally no physical sense.
You’re close to a major breakthrough here
Do you wear underwear btw or do you consider it unhygienic to trap so much moisture around your sensitive areas?
Yeah at this point it’s blatantly clear you are trying to throw as much shade as possible to distract from the fact that there’s zero evidence in your favor. You would have linked it otherwise. Maybe go take a basic physics class.
Good bye.
As a matter of fact, just wear pajamas to bed and the whole problem is avoided yes? All the moisture stays contained by the fabric covering your body?
