Rules 1 and 2, OP.

OC is allowed. Like you did here, you still need to attribute it, just to yourself.

I’d be afraid of putting myself to sleep with it.

Sure, but that’s wrong and used for convenience because the terminology got muddled early on. That was the original definition (i.e., no eating animal products), but the Vegan Society who created the term changed it not long after (in the 1940s?) to include avoiding exploitation generally “as far as is possible and practicable”. That’s because veganism is an ethical movement that sees this exploitation as fundamentally wrong. There’s still a note about this original definition at the end, of course, because a dietary term is largely how it exists in the minds of non-vegans.

What you’re referring to is a plant-based diet(er) (or “strict plant-based diet” if you want to be really clear and beat marketing buzz). Calling a vegan “someone who eats meat no more often than a month” in the sense of how vegans use the term would be like defining someone who’s anti-dog-abuse as someone who kicks their dog at most once a month.

(Edit: Notably, “vegan diet” is used among vegans, but because it’s a diet that comes as a consequence of being vegan, not because following it makes you vegan.)

TL;DR: That’s a definition used mainly among non-vegans.

Nasty. I thought this was satire at first and had to read it back.

“What kind of ‘hacked’?”

“Yes”

“I never asked for this.”

True, we’re just going for intra-series consistency with Roman numerical prefixes.

OP, “mono-” is the Greek root. You’re looking for “unisexual”.

According to Wiktionary, the etymology of “shark” beyond Middle English is unknown – and even there, we only see it once in 1442.

Edit: the Online Etymology Dictionary has more.

Fun facts about horseshoe crabs:

• Not crabs, in fact not even close. Chelicerates like the arachnids.
• Have photoreceptors in their “tail” (telson).

Edit: For some taxonomic context, king crabs are closer than shrimp are closer than woodlouse are closer than barnacles are closer than bees are closer than myriapods (centipedes and millipedes) are closer than horseshoe crabs to being crabs.

Haha, yes. I agree, fellow reader. bzz bzz 🐝

So a mask is okay if it’s animal skins[?]

You’re preaching to the choir on the speciesism angle.

This isn’t my own prescriptivist moral judgment; it’s trying to be descriptive of what someone would reasonably think “would otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers […]”. That attempt at descriptivism is why I was hoping for feedback like your comment.

Moreover, if you were to swap out the victims and faces in this comic with cows, pigs, etc., I’d probably still be asking the OP to mark this as NSFW.

There’s no gore or blood.

Interpreting “gore” as “pictures and videos of graphic violence and human death”, this is:

• an intentionally graphic illustration of human faces
• that have been meticulously cut off of the heads of people
• violently murdered by chainsaw
• whose dried blood spatter is coating the apron of one of the characters

Hi, OP. I could see this being considered borderline, but I’d ask per Rule 2 that you mark this as NSFW. At the same time, I’d also like to hear others’ thoughts on that request to get a better idea going forward.

(Edit: Undistinguishing, but still feel free to share here if and how you think the NSFW tag should be applied/enforced.)

Long ago, the four shitposts lived together in harmony.

The document where Adam and Eve declare that they’re sovereign citizens with a right to convey fruits into their stomachs (different from eating) and that God, not trying them under admiralty law, lacks jurisdiction.

The argument was on whether the US Constitution guarantees the right to safe drinking water. You’re citing the Declaration of Independence.
