Thats exactly right. It's also the reason why grass lawns came to existence.

looks like lawnMower had more influence than wealth : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawn

gardens were rather elaborate up until 18th century: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_formal_garden

There are rich people that own homes with rooms bigger than my house.

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

An interesting insight I learned from a YouTuber who binged a TV show that toured mansions, most of those enormous houses come with one normal-size room. That room is where the residents spend the majority of their time. Often, it's a kitchen. Sometimes, it's a "small" smoking room or even just an especially cozy corner of an oversized living room.

They say being rich just buys you space.

You'll never be in a restaurant with tables that are too close together

You'll never be on an aeroplane with the seats too close together

You'll never have a cluttered house

Your seats at the theatre are a box

Etc etc

Basically, money keeps you away from other people

Keeps you away from the people you don't want to be close to. It's an important distinction.

[-] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago

Yep, likewise a lot of rich people die having done very little meaningful, valuable, or good with their money.

[-] Katana314@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

Definitely recognizes the hoarding difference. When you’re poor, you have a thing, and don’t know if you’ll ever find another one under the cheap circumstances you got it, so you keep it, even without much space.

When you’re rich, you know you can obtain the item you need on demand for money. Or, say, if it’s a tool, you can hire contractors that bring their own.

Comic Strips

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

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)
