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.
- Limit of two posts per person per day.
- Bots aren't allowed.
- Banned users will have their posts removed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The metric version makes no sense
Less than the Freedom units one?
Yes.
How so?
1 liter != 0.9 liter
Yes. And 32 ounces != 28 ounces.
They're absurdly using "a litre" and "a 32 ounce bottle" kind of like "a serving".
Ohh wait I get it. "A liter [bottle] shrank to..."
Yes, the issue is the wording. The american version shrinks a bottle of certain volume, the metric version shrinks the unit of measurement.
Could be surrealist humor if we ignore the alternative american version
