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.

They got your IP Address, which just means they have the number that corresponds to your device when it accesses the internet (for most people in most situations, this number changes often) and it doesn't really do much besides tell them the general location of the device based on the numbers themselves as they pertain to a location with how they're assigned. But they're general enough to be mostly useless. But enough to spook some folks.
But, was the thing about urine in your second to last sentence a mistype or did you mean that?
What kind of address do they give people that don't pee, then?
Old mate just got whooshed hard. He will feel that one for days.
Eh, they were trying to be helpful. They shouldn’t feel embarrassed about it, it’s a good thing to do.
Also I would not have made the urine-IP address connection without that comment, I just thought they were rambling into nonsense.
