Posts must be about cool and nostalgic subjects.

What to post:

• Single purpose websites.
• Top-level domains.
• Web Tools.
• Minimal or beautifully designed websites.
• Awesome websites that offer a unique service.

What not to post:

• Sites that are not unique.
• Aggregators/ collections.
• Something everyone on the internet already knows about (e.g., Netflix, Khan Academy, etc.)
• Something not unique (includes generators, blogs, tumblrs, etc.)
• Web games.
• Articles or videos.
• Static images, gifs, animations, etc.
• Sites that serve a political agenda or otherwise induce drama.
• Online stores, paid services, or sites which serve only to sell a specific product.

Rule 1: No insults, no bigotry, no racism, no sexism. Discuss ideas, not people.

Rule 2: This place is for discussions about atheism, not ranting about the situation. Does your message induce a discussion? If not then you probably want to post it to your blog.

Rule 3: You will make your point better if you add a source to your message, so other people know about the context and have a better understanding of what you are talking about.

Rule 4: Tone is important, do you believe that your message can be misunderstood? If so then think again and rewrite your message in a different way.

Rule 5: Politics is not strictly forbidden, but keep in mind that there are elections everyday, in every country around the world. Is your message about atheism with a flavour of politics, or about politics with a flavour of atheism? Stay focused on our topic.

Rule 6: As a general rule: can you show your message to your mom and still be proud of what you wrote? If so then you can probably send it. If not then relax, rewrite it and send it later (or forget about it).

Rule 7: We know that our ideas do not please everyone around us, so don't give ammo to your opponents by posting lazy content or being purposefully antagonistic. Be your best self so no atheist would be ashamed of our front page.

Rule 8: No repost of Facebook memes, Twitter rages or TikTok nonsense. If we wanted Facebook content then we would be browsing Facebook now.

Rules:

• 1. Be respectful and civil

Self-promotion is not prohibited but may subject to removal.

Don’t be awful

1. Be nice, be honest, and aim to have a good conversation.

2. News links should be from major, reputable news organizations.

Newsworthy links, like a press release from the White House, are welcome as well. Whenever possible, link to the original .gov source. Links to websites that don’t follow good journalistic practices will be removed.

3. Other links may include political theory documents, research articles, or videos of similar quality.

News and political commentary videos are welcome, too, but videos linked should not be needlessly violent, and they should present fact-based analysis that cites its sources.

Treat people with kindness

Posts can be any format as long as it's about how to do something (this may need to get more specific in the future)

Comments and discussion should be positive and collaborative, with an action or outcome perspective ( think 'I like to do things this way because....' vs. 'don't do that, do this' )

• People have differing opinions, discuss but don't result to ad hominem

• Check if someone has asked a question or posted similar to you before posting

• Remember this is about video games, take it easy

1. Do not repost

2. Do not post historically inaccurate memes

3. All memes must be about history (even if only in part; comparisons to the present are allowed)

4. Do not deny atrocities

Don't be a dick

Rules

1. Be respectful: Treat others with respect and engage in discussions in a polite and constructive manner. Personal attacks, harassment, or hate speech will not be tolerated.

2. Stay on-topic: Keep discussions focused on worldbuilding-related topics. While some tangents are inevitable, try to maintain relevance to the subject at hand.

3. Provide context: When sharing your worldbuilding ideas or seeking feedback, provide sufficient context to help others understand you. Include relevant details, such as the setting, genre, and any existing lore.

4. Give credit: If you draw inspiration from someone else's work, credit the original creator. Plagiarism is strictly prohibited, and giving credit where it's required makes a respectful and supportive community.

5. Share meaningful feedback: When providing feedback on others' works, be constructive, specific, and thoughtful. Avoid simply stating whether you like or dislike something; instead, offer suggestions for improvement or ask clarifying questions.

1. Don't post pictures of books.
   Unless you want to post pictures of unique books (e.g. autographed ones), please refrain from posting pictures of the usual books.

2. No merchandise selling or advertising.
   Please don't try to make money with C&H merchandise or help others to do so. Bill Watterson battled against pressure from publishers to merchandise his work. He felt that would cheapen his comic. We respect that.

3. No NSFW
   This is a community for a comic strip. Although most readers are adult, we want this community to be safe for children. So, no NSFW posts and try to reduce swearing in comments as far as possible.

4. Use a descriptive title.
   "This is funny" or "My birthday comic" is too generic. Simply stating something about the strip you shared, or repeating phrasing from the strip is enough!

5. No posts that are not in sprit of Calvin and Hobbes Comics or would be appreciable by Bill Watterson. This means fan art in the spirit of is ok, Calvin pissing on things is not.

6. Single panels should be meaningful by itself. Single panels are allowed as far as they are meaningful by itself and are a whole panel. Of course single panel strips can be modified ones too which in turn would be subjected to the above mentioned rules.

RULES

1. Don't be a dick
2. Stay on-topic
3. No memes, image macros or AI generated art
4. Crop irrelevant parts from screenshots
5. Indicate if you're using a mod

GUIDELINES

1. Using screenshots instead of photographs of your screen is encouraged.

1. Please ensure your content is about BOTH cheap and healthy eating
2. Please respect each other, especially on dietary restrictions, budgets and backgrounds. There's no one right way to eat cheap and healthy for everyone!
   (More to come as the magazine develops...)

Rules

Please try to be decent with each other.

This is not the place for debating which distro/app/text-editor/etc is superior, nor is it the right place for showing off memes/jokes/news/tweaked desktops/wearables/stickers or so on. If that's what you are looking for, see above for places where you can post those things.

Spamming sites and/or asking for payment are categorically not welcome here.

When asking for help:

• Please remember there is no paid staff here - the people helping are everyday people just like you that are taking time out of their day to try and help. We all know that running into problems can be frustrating but do your best not to rant too much or take it out on others.
• Try to provide enough info for people to help (see above) without going overboard and drowning in detail.
• You are welcome to post your question elsewhere as well (in fact, it is encouraged).
• Please remember to update your post as SOLVED whether you get help here or somewhere else - kbin, unlike reddit, allows you to edit your post titles.
• If you find a solution to your problem that isn't mentioned here, please consider documenting the steps here as well - that might potentially help someone else facing the same issue!

When leaving responses:

• Please avoid "RTFM" style comments. Yes, we know it was sort of an in-joke back in the days, but aside from not really being helpful, many newbies won't understand that it's often a joke. Likewise, simply leaving a link to a top-level document can be confusing. Especially if the documentation has many sections or the site later goes down. Instead, please consider an answer that address the immediate ask as best as you can, along with a link to the relevant section of the documentation (if possible) for more information.
• We all have our own software/distro/etc preferences but please make every effort to avoid putting down what you may see as bad choices. If you don't like snaps or something else it's fine to say as much, just please no ranks or insulting the askers for using a given distro/app/whatever.

I. Posts must be memes about Ancient Rome. Titles are not taken into consideration, the meme itself must be about Ancient Rome.

II. No recent reposts.

III. Crop excessive blank space off of your images.

IV. The post itself must be a meme. Titles are not taken into consideration.

V. AI generated images and text are not a meme. You can use an AI image as an ingredient in a meme, but "I gave AI a Roman prompt" is not a meme on its own. AI text alone is not a meme, if the post is mostly AI text it's probably not a meme even if you added some visuals.

VI. If it's the birthday of a Roman figure, you have to make an actual MEME to post their happy Bday.

VII. Hate and bigotry in posts or comments will result in a ban.

VIII. Be respectful in the forum (comments)

IX. Please listen to the mod team

X. No Barbarians

XI. Ave Caesar !!!
