About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.

See glowie if you're confused about the joke:
From glow + -ie. Originated by Terry Davis, who stated in a 2017 video that "CIA removed glow in the dark", implying that they are conspicuous. The term "glowie" would become popular on the 4chan /pol/ board around 2019.
I read your comment and still didn't get it. Then, I clicked on the link, and discovered that when you said “CIA removed glow in the dark”, it's actually more like “CIA [redacted] glow in the dark”. I had first read it as if there was something that glowed in the dark, and the CIA removed its glow in the dark properties.
So, now that I have fully read and understood the meaning of the term, I can say that I still don't get it. Well... either I don't get it or I don't think it's funny. Like, if it's really just a joke that "glow up" could mean "became an agent," then I don't get why he's portrayed as old, because that joke would still work exactly the same if he just looked normal.
Yeah, I copy/pasted the quote as-is, and Lemmy has a slur filter that automatically changes things to *removed*, which in this case made it more confusing.
I also don't get why he's old and she's not 🤷
Your lemmy instance may have a slur filter, but that's not a common feature. We are all grown ups here, we can swear for fucks sake.
Fuck yeah we can!
TIL the term glowie comes from Terry Davis the creator of TempleOS.
Haha the best jokes always need to be explained
Discuss.online censors comments??? I thought that was an ml thing
What am I missing?
Where it says "removed" in their comment was a slur
Lemmy used to hardcode it, and you would've needed to patch the code to remove it:
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/622
It's now editable in the admin settings of the site. I'm not sure if the Lemmy devs inserted a default value or if it was manually set by @jgrim@discuss.online, but right now it just filters that one word and variant spellings on discuss.online. So IMO not really censorship in the same way that lemmy.ml does it
I'm not against it in this case but it definitely surprised me!
It only filters one word 🙁 ni((g{2,}|q)+|[gq]{2,})[e3r]+(s|z)?
