Hello fellow Cyanide and Happiness fans!

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.

Cyanide & Happiness (C&H) is a webcomic created by Rob DenBleyker, Kris Wilson, Dave McElfatrick and Matt Melvin. The comic has been running since 2005 and is published on the website explosm.net along with animated shorts in the same style. Matt Melvin left C&H in 2014, and several other people have contributed to the comic and to the animated shorts… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_%26_Happiness

Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, media, cool stuff about the authors, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Cyanide and Happiness related!

Ps. Sub to all my comic strip communities…

Anyone who calls it a "drill machine" should not be allowed to use power tools

What if I refer to myself as a drill machine?

[–] xantoxis 45 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That's allowed, but you better prove it

Idiot, the anus is just the opening of the alimentary canal

If it’s not on strava, it never happened!

This is not a drill! I repeat, this is not a drill!

My wood shop teacher would insist it was "drill driver" and would bust your grade down if you only called it a drill.

Wouldn't it be a drill bit driver?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Isn't the drill part of the bit?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The bit is the tip of the drill and the shank is the other end.

Can I borrow your car machine?

In denmark we call it a "boremaskine", literally "drilling machine"...

[–] M137 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Same in Sweden; "borrmaskin"

Though it's still fine to say just "borr" (drill) for it, like "kan du sträcka mig borren?" (Can you hand me the drill?)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

In Danish, "bor" only refers the drill bit. If you asked someone "kan du række mig boret" you would be handed the drill bit, or possibly be pointed towards the table (bord/bordet, with silent d).

Same in German: "Bohrmaschine".

Although the shorthand version is "Bohrer", not "Bohr".
