Stop removing the artists.

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 40 points 3 days ago

Don't forget to report the twat for breaking the 2 posts a day rule. If enough reports got sent an admin will eventually step in.

[-] village604@adultswim.fan 6 points 3 days ago

Do admins see community reports?

[-] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 7 points 3 days ago

Yes, admins can see every report that is made on communities hosted on their own instance.

OP believes that leaving in the comic name or artist's signature is "advertising".

They have been caught repeatedly removing them through cropping and poor use of AI.

Why wouldn’t a person “advertise” or rather promote an artist while posting their art…?

[-] Lumidaub@feddit.org 10 points 3 days ago

lolwat this is some top notch brain mash, OP.

I thought you said you weren't going to entertain people for free, but you've been putting on delightful clown show for over a day now.

Their post got deleted, yet he remains unbanned. That's odd.

The artist is Chylik and this is their Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chyliktol

There is a story that gets passed down in my family from the time a pocket watch was considered luxury.

Allegedly to know whether it was time for a break, end of work. The boss would just look at his watch and say nope. Without anyone able to verify.

So my ancestor saved up their money and bought a silver pocketwatch to call the boss out when he cheated, a fancy one presumably because a cheap one could cause an argument that it doesn’t keep time as well as the one the boss had (it might have been the exact same one as the boss idr)

We still own the watch.

The metric version makes no sense

[-] Lumidaub@feddit.org 4 points 3 days ago

Less than the Freedom units one?

Yes. And 32 ounces != 28 ounces.

They're absurdly using "a litre" and "a 32 ounce bottle" kind of like "a serving".

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 4 points 3 days ago

Ohh wait I get it. "A liter [bottle] shrank to..."

[-] anyhow2503@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Yes, the issue is the wording. The american version shrinks a bottle of certain volume, the metric version shrinks the unit of measurement.

[-] anyhow2503@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Could be surrealist humor if we ignore the alternative american version

I mean this happens with salary positions all the time. Just this year our manager put out new schedule rotations that make us work an hour longer every day...not like we're getting paid extra for that.

Wage theft by another name..

[-] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

"A 8 hour shift now lasts 14 hours. And no breaks." FTFY.

[-] RustyNova@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

What is this comic I'm too European to understand?

[-] village604@adultswim.fan 2 points 3 days ago

Does Europe not use metric for milk containers?

[-] RustyNova@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

We do. One liter of milk is still one liter tho

[-] mr_anny@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 days ago

And one hour is one hour.

Except in school one hour class is more like 45 or so minutes and the rest is recess.
