        Also think of your jaw … how do you rest it? … do you let it droop and fall to relax your jaw muscles? … or do you tighten up your mouth to close your mouth? … is the resting position of our jaw to hold your teeth close? or let your jaw fall?

          i think the middle way of letting the mouth slightly open might be best? to get oxygen in the mouth room. creates fresh air and such.

      If you carefully pay attention your breath also has it’s own particular scent. The aroma of what the inside of your lungs smell like.

      Your brain just finely tuned your mouth and your nose to filter out that particular smell so as not to bother you.

        I think you’ll find that…

        Hold on, let me get my glasses. 🤓

        Actually, I think you’ll find that a circle, just like a square, has uncountably infinitely many points!

    Your imagination is limited to what you can express in words. Many cultures have biases in their language towards or away from certain concepts. Consider how the eskimos have 5 words for snow or the prudish american landscape had no word for “sex” for most of its history. Instead you had to say things like “lay with someone” and such. This is to bias your thought away from undesirable concepts.

      The word copulate has been around since the late 1400’s (before the colonization of North America by Europe) and Old English had the word hǽmed which dates back to the middle ages.

      You are confusing euphemism with language and applying puritanical systemic manipulation to language. That is censorship and it does not mean that the words don’t exist in the language. Whole different can of worms.

      Yes, it has been proven that language and having words to describe things changes the way the brain processes things. There are languages without a word to describe the color Blue, and in fact the people who speak that language struggle to differentiate it from green when tested. Once teaching them a language which includes a word for the color, eventually their brain begins to be able to differentiate it. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20180419-the-words-that-change-the-colours-we-see

        it might also be noteworthy that if you’re not allowed to say a word as a child, basically it doesn’t exist to you. that’s censoring.

      Well jokes on them because I frequently think about things that I then struggle to articulate and its very frustrating! Though more seriously I wouldn’t say language is a hard limit because otherwise we would never need to come up with new words in the first place.

    I imagined someone pimping giraffes. Which would usually be studs. Someone hauling an open top trailer with a long neck protruding through its slats. Someone transporting their virile, strong, sexy, giraffe to its next impregnation. Someone taking the time to verify their studs’ sperm counts at least weekly. Someone to personally certify that everything is in working order before the next appointment. Yeah, that’s what I imagined

    Woah wait I swear there’s a Futurama episode where the cops are interrupted while attempting to arrest a giraffe pimp. Is that a thing or am I going nuts?

    Giraffe pimps exist. If I worked in a zoo breeding program or nature conservation program I would wear a purple hat.

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.
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:

  • Markdown - Links / Images

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)
