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.

I don't get it
it's a joke about engagement bait. You post something like "the TMNT liked pizza! Only 90s kids remember!" and anyone born between 1971-89 and after 2000 replies saying "I knew this too!". Viral post, algorithm, etc
Um, I hate to break it to you, but people born in the latter half of the 80s are 90s kids.
Born in '87 but please don't call me an 80s kid. I have zero memory of that decade; can't relate to it at all. Most of my core memories come from being a kid in the 90s (and a little bit of the 2000s). I'm a 90s kid through and through.
Edit: Ah shit, god dammit. Immediately after typing all of this out, I now see what you did there, you clever bastard. I took the bait.
get algorithm'd!
Oh I thought maybe there was more depth to it than that
