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.

Fun fact, those are not labeled do not eat because they are toxic, but because they are choking hazards.
And because they often are included in food products, and there’s a fair amount of regulation around mixing non-food with food.
What kind of food are you eating that is packaged alongside silica gel?
Foods that are ruined by ambient humidity, that's what kind.
It's included in bottles of oral medication as well.
I have seen in in dried foods like beef jerky or seaweed.
Ok guys, seriosuly no offence, but are you all from the states? I don't want to do the usual US bashing, but I've never seriously seen silica gel in any kind of food, and especially in oral medicines that are individually packaged in protective atmosphere. So I feel like like it's a cultural difference
Seen it many times in Europe (Czech Republic) and now in Japan in some packages.
Lemmy is probably primarily US like Reddit. (US here.)
I can imagine silica being in a medicine bottle. After you break the seal, you'll put the lid back on and the medicine should stay dry. I'm uncertain whether I've ever actually seen that, though.
Or anything freeze dried!
