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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

USB cables fit into Ethernet ports. They will also go into HDMI ports if you force them. Source: Family
Yes. I used to work in support... I have seen things you people wouldn't believe.
I've seen computers on fire due to dust buildup. I've seen usb cables glitter in the darkness, stuck inside Ethernetports.
All these moments will be lost in time, like a ticket in the support system.
I worked in automotive electronics. Our cables use asymmetrical trapezoid connectors made from heavy duty plastic with metal reinforcement. There are mechanical hinges to put things in place and lock them only if everything is aligned.
We still had to do electrical tests against wrong connections because apparently people somehow still force them wrong way around.
Whenever mankind manages to make something idiot proof, mother nature builds a better idiot.
I work in automotive R&D, it happens here as well.
I used to repair air traffic control radios and other equipment, everything from glide-slopes and runway lights to the air traffic control console itself.
I'm going to stop right there.
But did you work with AUTOSAR?
I resigned about when we started the switch to AUTOSAR. I'm happily in medical tech now.
Nicely dodged a major bullet, apparently.
Bravo! Beautiful!
I have a universal hole that fits all of those.
So does my ex
We know
