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.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I have a rule now that if I see fruit sitting on the table and I think about it for a second I have to eat it.
This is actually surprisingly effective with chores in general for me. If i see it i have to do something.
I was doing that but now I have 2 young kids and a house that needs renovation.
It's just impossible to do everything, there is tons of stuff I see everyday that needs to be done but I have to accept that it's not possible to do everything.
I think I have selective blindness involving chores. I genuinely won't notice something until it NEEDS to be done.
When I lived alone I was great about cleaning up any messes made in memory, but dust bunnies had eternal lifespans.
I have a similar one, if I'm hungry enough to walk into the kitchen, I'm hungry enough to eat some fruit. About 1/2 of the time I even do it. If I know there aren't pastries in a cupboard.
