Sign me up!

How old are you? It may still be doable.

[-] SirSamuel@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I've lived two cat lives over and am on my way through a third

The candle that burns four times as bright burns a quarter as long

[-] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

... How dare you nerd snipe me

...

Now, if brightness is amplitude of light ... But is it? Is it like sound that we perceive logarithmically? And if it's burning wax at 4x the rate, will it be yet brighter because more of the gases ignite? Why is it burning faster? Has it four wicks? Thicker wick? Different geometry? Or does it imply a better oxygen source? If oxygen, again, maybe the same rate of wax burns brighter. Or maybe not: maybe it's as simple as, the same proportion of wax burns, releasing the same amount of light energy, in the same spectral distribution, as long as you stay within practical parameters (e.g. not hot enough to get secondary combustion - if that even happens for candle smoke). Okay so I think the candle burning 4x the rate will make 4x the light, in which case it's just a question of perception, but we can argue that brightness really is amplitude - or is it the square root because... bother my brain's gone blank but it's like an amplitude Vs magnitude thing but those are the same so it must be something else... But if we call amplitude brightness then I think yes, the same-mass candle burning at 4x brightness will burn out in a quarter of the time. Phew, I think I can correctly upvote your comment.

Fuck you, shitass cats. Stop killing all the birds!

Keep your cats indoors, please.

[-] SanndyTheManndy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

The stray dogs outside keep my cat in.

Not to forget how flexible you are and where you can go with your tongue.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

Yeah, but your tongue is covered in sandpaper.

[-] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Hey, no kink shame :)

I read that a tiger's tongue is so abrasive they can lick the skin right off your body.

[-] atro_city@fedia.io 16 points 2 years ago

Kill billions of birds and only the Aussies dare retaliate.

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Cats team up with emus.

Humans leave Australia.

[-] lugal@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 years ago

What if the cats are working with the government to get rid of malfunctioning drones

Wait, which 3...this could be bad.

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

forgot to add, "wake up humans at 2am and go back to sleep immediately afterwards"

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I started yelling at my cats randomly when they're sleeping just for a little payback.

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Most of these describe my gamer sister growing up. Cute, sleepy, etc.

I'll admit, hiding the bodies growing up was tough work!

[-] SanndyTheManndy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

We got a LeyLey here

[-] The_Tired_Horizon@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Well two out of four aint bad.. πŸ˜…πŸ˜‰

[-] bingbong@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 2 years ago

Sleeping all day and killing for fun 😎

[-] The_Tired_Horizon@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Doesnt say the attention has to be positive either. πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚

[-] vox@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

these two are contradictory tho

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I dispute "always cute." I knew a guy who had a cat that looked disturbingly similar to Mao Zedong. Like if Mao Zedong was a cat, he would look like that cat. I don't know how else to put it. But it sort of took away the cute factor and replaced it with a major creepiness one.

[-] mrmanager@lemmy.today 6 points 2 years ago

Cats are easily the best looking being on the planet.

Do you also prefer the unavoidable estrus state that makes you horny against your will and takes over all your senses?

[-] TwoCubed@feddit.de 7 points 2 years ago

If your holders are responsible people, this will never happen.

[-] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago

And they won't let you out to kill all the birds either.

[-] viking@infosec.pub 3 points 2 years ago

Just a few. Not all of them.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. πŸ˜‡ 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. πŸ“½οΈ 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. πŸ“‹ 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.,
      βœ… Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. πŸ“¬ Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 πŸ–) 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 πŸ–) will be removed.
  7. πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ 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.,
      SΓ­, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]
  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.
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)
