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.

Good joke none the less. ๐
Why wouldn't they? Links did not stop turning purple, this still happens very often.
Well, lots of webpages apply CSS, either disabling the history coloring entirely or at least choosing different colors. It does still happen with blue and purple, but it's not nearly as obvious anymore that these specific two colors refer to that.
Every wiki ever
Actually, now that I think about it, accessed links in Google Sheets only change to a different color of blue.
Let the old boomers have their fun.
where? i don't remember the last time I've seen a website without custom styling that overrides this.
The results of any search engine.
Reddit.
Lemmy.
This really is not a rare thing. At all.
