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.

I had a friend who thought "Netflix & chill" just meant watch movies and relax, so she had it on her dating app profile and couldn't understand why she only got hookups.
So ugh where’d she post it again?
The internet is so tame now. Are there any websites left or is it largely just professional stuff left?
My daughter, still in elementary school a few years ago, asked if we can Netflix and Chill after a long day.
I had trouble explaining to her what it meant.
I thought that's what it meant, too.
I'm old.
It's a double entendre. It means both, but much more the "hook up" subtext.
From what I can find online, it originally meant what I thought it did, but quickly morphed into mainly being a hookup afterward.
It's like the older "come inside for coffee" thing. It could be just that but much more common to use it as pretense for initiating some coitus.
I thought that's what it meant, too.
I'm young.
If you're old enough, she's correct.
I think it can mean a both - that's the great thing about a noncommittal word like chill. I think the key part is that whatever happens is casual.
But yeah would probably get a lot of hookup attention on a dating website
I don't know, I don't think of sex as chilling. Just like I don't see sport as chilling. Chilling should be more calm and less purpose-driven.
Or ignorance made a convenient fig leaf.
