I just rawdogged this comic
I just rawdogged this comment
I just rawdogged myself?
You must be very flexible
What do people actually think rawdog means (besides having sex without a condom)?
People use it as slang for doing something in the most basic way without protection/assistance/augmentation, etc.
Pretty much just like the lady in the comic.
Yes, because they understand the meaning and are making a play off of it. I genuinely do not believe anyone over the age of 12 who uses the term “rawdog” isn’t completely and fully aware of the meaning when they use it.
You never know
Different phrase, different conditions. “Bust a nut” can reasonably me misconstrued; nobody of adult age is actually out there misconstruing “rawdogging.”
Sorry, but slang isn’t universal.
People will often only hear slang in this context and have no idea it relates back to sex at all. This comic is very true to life. I was definitely the kid that used terms without knowing their true meaning.
Also the character in the comic may well be under 12
Tbf the kind of person who might make this mistake is exactly the kind of person who would be embarrassed discovering the true meaning. The kind who doesn’t swear but is exposed to people who do and pick up the vernacular without the origins.
Taking a transatlantic flight and spend it all awake, looking at the flight map.
I feel like the real meaning is milder than this
It’s certainly a lot more fun.
18 years of it.
If your pullout game is weak.
When you use the internet without an adblocker
You’re just
RAWDOGGING THE INTERNET
Quite sure that in that case the internet is RAWDOGGING YOU
Back in my day we were told that was how you got a virus.
Someone once described LimeWire to me as, “having unprotected sex with the internet,” and they were completely right.
Its not as fun with a firewall.
…and The Internet is a disgusting, filthy slut.
and we all love it.
Yes, we do.
What’s with modern webcomics only posting to social media and nowhere else unless someone reposts it? I want an easy to browse gallery. If your comic is only available via instagram/twitter then I won’t read your comic
Im OK with social media as long as it has RSS. But that also means no insta and no twitter.
It costs money to host things
Yeah like $10 a month for a comic.
How much did they make by you seeing it here?
You realize people make money from social media, right?
Obviously not this one but the profitable ones.
18k likes and 2200 shares.
Yes, absolutely! But the suggestion to self host when you’re not even contributing to their income comes across as a little unjustified.
I’m not understanding your comment.
- Comment 1: Why do some comic artists only post to social media?
- Comment 2: It costs money to make a website.
- Comment 3: It only costs $10 to make a website.
- Me: The comic artist is not making any money right now from us on Lemmy.
- You: Social media platforms are profitable.
- Me: Yes, they are. Additionally, I believe that comment 3 is unfair because that person is not paying towards the $10 for the comic artist to make their own website.
Hosting is cheap and there is free hosting available if you don’t care about having a custom domain and have a limited audience. If your audience is big enough to go past that bandwidth you can probably monetize somehow and cover server costs easily, even if it’s just selling a few pieces of merch. My website is $80 a year with a custom domain and I get unlimited transfer/bandwidth. It’s shared hosting so over about 1k visitors per day means it’ll get slow but if you’re getting that kind of traffic you can probably sell more merch and get a vps
Use twitter/pixiv/ig for promotion but if you don’t do the above your locking out anyone who refuses to make account. All of them won’t let you look at more than 1-5 images before locking you out entirely with account nag screens that can’t be bypassed. Or just stay on those platforms, I don’t care, I’ll just never read your comic
Plenty of ways to host for free, even with a custom domain. (Though the domain is $15 per year) Like GitHub. Or you can even just use Tumblr with a custom domain.
And it gives you some degree of control over reposts and people stealing content. If your not on the platform you cant really contest claims against a video or post.
No, it really, seriously, doesn’t. People that rely on social media are just lazy and ignorant.
As a fanart hoarder, the number of great artists I know of who seem to exclusively post their work on Twitter, a completely unsearchable platform that lossy compresses anything you upload to it and makes it a pain in the dick to get highest quality downloads, as opposed to a browsable upload platform like deviantArt, Pixiv, or Tumblr, infuriates me.
I think I know why a lot of them do it, too. To them, their work is intentionally ephemeral. They want to draw a thing, release it to the world, be admired for a day, and let it fade away into the aether. They don’t want a browseable archive of their past work. Art they draw is disposable. Twitter is the best platform for this, as everything on Twitter is naturally consumed this way. That, and its audience is way larger than any of the other platforms I mentioned, so they get more eyes on their work.
Yeah, an archive exists on Twitter, but unless you want to scroll scroll scroll through every single tweet they’ve ever made in reverse chronological order, you’re never going to find what you’re looking for without some kind of external indexing tool. All of this before Elon bought it and further enshittified it within an inch of its life. You can’t even browse posts without being logged in anymore.
There are a billion more people on Instagram that will see a comic there than actually go to websites to read comics.
that’s why the internet fucking sucks now. Everyone’s too afraid to make their own site and lazily relies on the conglomerates of social media, which has reduced the internet into like 5 websites that repost each others content
Also seeing isn’t converted to income, especially on instagram. The more hardcore comic fans may want to see your work in full, may want to follow the story if there’s a narrative to your comic, see your arts evolution, etc. and they’re probably the ones that are far more likely to drop cash on merch for a series they enjoy. That’s why you combine the approaches, post comics on instagram or whatever to get the word out, and have a site so your hardcore fans can easily browse your work (with the added bonus of letting people who don’t fuck with social media also see it)
Again, or don’t, I don’t care. Post everything to facebook and twitter, make the internet just 2 websites instead of 5, refuse to have control of the primary platform your work is shared on, whatever
Bit like an internet feudalism in a way!
Says the person posting a comment on social media instead of bitching about this on their personal blog that nobody would read. lol
Not that you’re wrong, of course, but you can’t blame people for wanting to be where the other people are.
Yeah I was a bit surprised that Sarah Anderson doesn’t have her own site
Is it not this?
It looks like it, though I can’t see her most recent comics.
I found her stuff mostly here: https://www.gocomics.com/sarahs-scribbles/2024/09/25
Yeah that’s actually why i had to ask because i didn’t recognize the works. Odd.
Maybe they don’t want their comics browsed.
Used to be, you got one comic with the sunday paper. There was no bingeing your favorite comics you just waited until they came out.
My guess is they don’t have enough material for a whole collection yet, and they’re using social media as feedback mechanism
If they don’t want their comics browsed that’s their choice of course but it seems pretty silly. What if instagram deleted/bans their account for nonsense? Goodbye audience and archive of everything you’ve ever done
Used to be you got a free webhosting account and posted comics to a gallery on a shitty handmade webpage until you built up an audience or gave up. If you got bigger you’d move to a better site with a custom domain and new readers could catch up if they were interested. Achewood, gunshow, dinosaur comics, questionable content, xkcd, penny arcade, nedroid, etc all started about this way and many of them continue to this day. Use social media for promotion, not for archival
My guess is they don’t want to bother with people who aren’t willing to fuck with facebook, twitter, pixiv, etc. or they don’t know how to make a free website. Whatever, just means they lose the audience of people who refuse to use facebooks bullshit
Oh no, they’re missing out on those three people. lol
A lot more than that ignore the meta ecosystem.
The same reason we’re here instead of on Reddit.

I mean, this is true if “used to be” means “prior to WWII” (or maybe even earlier). Publishers have been putting out collections of comic strips in book form for a very long time - I grew up in the '70s reading Pogo compendiums published in the 1960s.
Next thing it’ll be"I got pegged last night. I was so full!"
I had a friend that did exactly this. We had to tell him and he wasn’t impressed.
Some context, this girl’s character is one of those people strongly against using swear words with bad meanings, so to her it’s quite a bit worse.
What a bore of a character premise.
Only if it’s a lecture in disguise or a “role model”.
As an actual character? Totally fine.
How can it not be a lecture in disguise?
Do you know any well adjusted adults that don’t swear?
Yes.
It’s clearly making fun of her for going out of her way to never swear
Plenty, and I respect them more for it
verbally? I don’t. Last time I swore verbally at someone (ie not text) was like 2 years ago under my breath that they didn’t even hear.
On the Internet though I curse all the time, though I don’t often curse at someone specifically (excluding CEOS), more at a general company/group of people. Though more commonly I use it as a filler word like “so fucking funny”
Nah those types of personalities are freaks in the sheets.
Is it a term originating from the Omegaverse?
When you dont have adblock You raw dog the internet
I mean, she’s still using it correctly in that context. 👀
If I say something “tastes like ass” and I’m eating, like, a bagel, I’m probably saying it tastes bad and not like ass cheeks.
You gotta go to Edgar’s Bagels on 65th if you want ass check flavored bagels. They don’t skimp on the cream cheese either.

Gotta get that schmear on the rear
Terrible. Take your upvote and get the hell out of here.
Although it’s not really possible to eat pizza without rawdoggin it.
Unless you use a fork and knife like a heathen

I have my butler cut up my pizza for me with a pizza knife and a pizza fork. And then I have my nanny feed it to me. “Here comes the train to the tunnel, choo-choo!”
Maybe she’s a ranch user?
Michael Jordan Stop Get Help.Jpg
… Then you just ruin the pizza!
ok but you people need to start dropping ideas on how to rehydrate and cover some of the stale taste from days old pizza without ranch. I’ll sometimes do a couple of dabs of hot sauce but it makes the crust weird when you’re reheating it for some reason.
Air fryer usually get the cheese a bit more melty and pulls out moisture in the crust that causes staleness. Nothing is better than an air fryer reheat in my experience
Have you tried an oven?
Microwaves just suck for heating up leftover pizza.
yeah oven is my go-to, need to try the air fryer suggestion from @peopleproblems@lemmy.world though. But I mean I’m not expecting miracles, anything that’s been reheated after days isn’t gonna be like when it’s fresh.
I tend to grill mine in a foil pouch which isn’t so bad either. I think you could probably grill it directly on the grate too, but there’s more risk of it burning.
I have a panini press that can be propped open, and it’s the best thing for reheating a slice of pizza. I usually microwave it a bit first just to heat it thru, but sticking on the panini press makes the crust, ah, crusty again.
I put my leftover pizza in a Ziploc bag, it doesn’t dry out even after a week (and probably longer, but at that point something else is eating it…)
Nice profile picture!
Thank you ❤️
I’d rather eat ass than this.
You’re supposed to eat AROUND the hole
Yeah, I think how she is using it is completely acceptable. We all understand what she is saying and what she means… that’s a win in my book.
I’ve seen so many Gen-Zers on TikTok saying how to raw dog a flight. ummmmmm please don’t
Literally today heard a preteen at my daughter’s dance class say she was “rawdogging” the parking lot because she was walking around without shoes. No, child. Just… no.
Man, people my age (39yo millennial) have been using “raw dogging” to mean literally doing anything without some sort of protection or barrier between you and something nasty for a while; not strictly sex without a condom.
“Ew … You cleaned your toilet without gloves? You just raw dogged that shit?! Bro, I’m going home. Fuck this BBQ.”
Wait all this time I was supposed to wear a condom while on a flight?
Oh no I have a lot of phone calls to make.
That’s 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂
Alternatively the phrase suggests a wiener is cooked for protected sex so it wasn’t the best used metaphor in the first place.
Raw can also refer to the lack of a protective layer. One can rub their skin raw, for example, meaning the skin was rubbed so hard that the top layer was removed. The “cooking” in this case would be the skin healing back. And putting a condom over it for safety.
Raw meat carries infectious disease
I only recently found out the origin of “circlejerk”
Better played with a cookie in the middle
My sweet child Came home from elementary school saying he played Cookie in the middle. Apparently to the teacher, it’s Monkey in the Middle but the teacher didn’t like kids being called monkeys, so the kids called each other cookies.
Only for me to Google it and it lead to the definition I was familiar with: Ookie Cookie. 😱
Rugby players tend to prefer a slice of toast.
A waffle is a fine substitute
They did it all for the nookie.
That’s called limp biscuit
I hope your shoes are clean.
I had to explain to my friend that “struggle snuggle” is not when your cat is trying to get away from you while you hug it.
So also not a struggle session that ends with snuggles?
That’s called aftercare.
I mean… from the cat’s point of view that’s EXACTLY what it is emotionally.
At least it’s not an I’ll informed engineer inventing new terms out of already existing terms.
Forgot my sluice gate goons raw dog this shaft work.
I’m almost ashamed this makes sense to me
The wild part is “gonna” got autocorrected and it was so much better
