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

As a 90s kid I definitely feel like there's such a huge generational gap in the past 20 years though, so much changed so rapidly since then.

Like watching MP3 players come and go. And the transition of videotapes to discs to streaming. Or watching nobody own a cellphone to the entire world not being able to go anywhere without one. As well as throwaway cameras to everyone having one in their pockets.

Pre 00s and after is such a difference in just about everything. I wonder what the pre 10s and after will be like.

We literally went from doing essays in a library to using internet and printers (at first my teachers even forbid students from using Internet as a source), heck I even wrote on a typewriter a few times

"Wikipedia is not a source, anyone can edit it! You can't be certain anything on there is true!!"

Now wikipedia is probably the last bastion of decent information online. At minimum, a well-souced article gives you an excellent starting point.

Remember to donate to Wikipedia if you haven't, we desperately need them to remain independently funded

Look into it. I cannot explain this well. They actually have more than enough money. In fact they are spending recklessly in other projects because of that.

Yes we should donate if that changes but right now it would be better to donate to less well funded open projects.

Well that's sad I give them a dollar every month

I mean as far as I know they are not doing anything inherently bad and have good intentions. So no need to feel sad.
