Love it. It's true - imagine all the time we spend on these social media sites that we could use for better purposes. Writing books, drawing, setting things on fire. All the wasted potential!

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.

But instant gratification go brr
Seriously though, the amount of people I ask "what kinds of hobbies do you have" and they reply that they don't have any is honestly pretty sad
There's a lot of hobbies that you can get into for really cheap to free, they just spend all of their free time on social media
I do the healthy thing and only go on social media at work.
There really isn't enough fire in the world.
We all have the same amount of time. But not all of us have the resources to become king, engage in war, trade with nations, and die in comfort.
That's why I play Paradox strategy games. I get to do all of the above except for dying in comfort.
We all have the same amount of time but not everyone can afford to spend money to maximize the time on what they desire
I could get so much done if I just had the money…
Oh well that's different - you don't wanna you don't gotta. I use the "I don't wanna" defense all the time.
Yeah there is that instant gratification - the IG factor you could call it. It's hard to resist! But I agree, people should have actual real hobbies, not just spend time trolling online. One of mine is writing, so replying to posts online helps sharpen my critical thinking in some ways. But I don't spend all day on it. I have so many other hobbies that truly are rewarding, and don't come with constant criticism and put downs from others.
Well... I need the money too.
