    The werenerd better explain himself, because I am pretty sure it’s easier to observe the moon when it’s visible. He has until I load this revolver with silver bullets.

      You usually want to use shadows to help highlight surface details. When full, there are virtually no shadows.

        does that mean the darker spots one can see with the naked eye are not shadows? the ground is just darker there?

          They didn’t say you can’t say details. They said it is the worst time for observation. Which it is.

    knowing absolutely nothing about this topic and assuming the statement is legit, I assume the reason why is because you want incoming light to hit the surface at a lower angle to create more shadows and make the topography stand out more.

      My assumption is that it is more difficult to make lunar observations while being attacked by werewolves

          Despite taking a few years of Spanish classes the capitalization here is still making my brain process it as “¿Por que no los MS-DOS?”

      But what if you’re not observing terrain, but surface reflectance or something else, and the shadows will interfere? This is my problem with “nerds” like the one from the comic. They want to appear intelligent to others and will inconveniently spill out statements that are specific as if they were universal (dunning-kruger, maybe), just to boost their self-esteem.

        “Observe” here refers specifically to optical observation tho

          Optical observation like measuring surface reflectance? Or maybe optical observation like artistically gazing at the full moon? ;)

          There’s no single universal best moment. It all depends on what you want to observe.

    Got a curse I cannot lift
    Shines when the sunset shifts
    When the moon is round and full

    Gotta correct that wrong, gotta state those facts.

    I’m reading Wil Wheaton’s book “Still Just A Geek”, and I feel like he’d really enjoy this comic.

      Does he manage to make himself likable on page? It’s always been a struggle for him on screen. Or microphone. Or tweet.

    Pretty sure the new moon would be the worst time, but I guess it depends on what you’re looking for.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. 😇 Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ Community Standards

    • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
    • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
    • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
    • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
  3. 🧬 Keep it Real

    • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
  4. 📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due

    • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
    • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
  5. 📋 Post Formatting

    • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author’s website.
    • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
    • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
      ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. 📬 Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author’s comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
  7. 🏴‍☠️ Internationalization (i18n)

    • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
      Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
  8. 🍿 Moderation

    • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
    • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists

The following artists are banned from the community.

  1. Jago
  2. Stonetoss

It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.

Web Accessibility

Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.

When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you’re posting:

  • Markdown - Links / Images

Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what’s going on. (example)
