Fun fact: Reddit's main sub for Questionable Content is actually a sub for hating on Questionable Content.

God, don't even get me started. There are people on there who genuinely think that dating a trans woman means that Marten is bi.

[–] Serdan@lemm.ee 19 points 1 year ago

Imagine expending any effort on hating a wholesome slice of life comic. Then imagine being a mod for a forum about that.

[–] JakenVeina@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That doesn't seem terribly fun.

[–] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 14 points 1 year ago

It's a fact that reinforces how much more fun being here is, though 🤷

I just looked through there and those alternate comics that they make are hilarious.

Isn’t that exactly what it means?

[–] yozul@beehaw.org 12 points 1 year ago

No. It means reapplying makeup. I guess facial powders aren't as popular as they used to be, but that is where the saying came from.

[–] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 4 points 1 year ago

Depends on context, I guess 🤷

[–] lyam23@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure it originated in the mid twentieth century and referred to touching up makeup.

Dang, some years ago I read Questionable Content in its entirety. I stopped reading when Faye started dating Bubbles, because the page was blocked where I work. I want to read it again out of curiosity, but knowing that I need to read thousands of days just to catch up dampens my enthusiasm.

[–] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, it's very intimidating when you think about it in that way (I know from having been in the exact same situation as you are now), but once you get past that hurdle and just enjoy the comics for themselves, it's no big deal heh.

If you want to start again, I took the liberty of going through the fandom timeline and finding the approximate comic you were at 😁

[–] AnthropomorphicCat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank you!

Also, oh gods, I'm two thousand days behind ._.

[–] Blyfh@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Just read 5 a day! You'll eventually catch up and there's no hurry.

[–] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Well it definitely means that in some circles

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Jesus Christ I started reading this in high school…are we past just Martin, Faye and Pintsize??

[–] Signtist@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

They've got so many characters now that it's impossible to keep track of them all. Still a fun read, though. I check back every week or so.

I always assumed "Powder my Nose" was girl for "I need to take a massive shit."

[–] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 3 points 1 year ago

Probably often is lol
