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

Cooking instructions don't mesh well with some people. I'm one of them.
Half of the time the instructions are vague (like "golden brown", which has vastly different definitions based on what you're cooking) and the measurements are often inexact ("to taste" is completely useless to someone who doesn't know how the intermediate product is supposed to taste). Plus, you often have to do things during the heating process and if your multitasking isn't good enough your meal is ruined.
All of this is less of a deal if you have someone with cooking experience in the kitchen. If you don't, well, good luck.
I consider cooking to be highly stressful even with a recipe. Baking is much better since the measurements tend to be precise to the gram and the heating step happens in isolation.
