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.

Also if the genie is a thinking agent or even just capable of detecting an infinite loop this falls apart.
Imagine trying to ward off a genie by yelling: "THIS STATEMENT IS FALSE!"
POV you're about to encounter a little ol' Fate Worse Than Death
EVERYTHING I SAY IS A LIE, I ALWAYS TELL THE TRUTH!

If everything you say is a lie, then the statements 'everything you say is a lie', and 'you always tell the truth' are both lies. Which means the first statement could be that some things you say are lies and you always tell the truth is one of those lies.
But it worked on Star Trek...
You are now stuck in an infinite loop with a rabbit and turtle.
I love your username. Is it meant to be a naughty bilingual pun?
I am a strange loop
Nope, it's turtles all the way down.
