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.

Rofl but what does it even compile down to? I could see a program that just concatenates and prints every string included in its source code
Fun fact: In a hilarious misuse of the
#!
script interpreter mechanism, on Linux (and similar operating systems), if you put#!/bin/cat
as the first line of a file and make it executable, it'll dump itself to the current output channel when called by name.Which is basically what you're describing.
See also: Perl, which will try to interpret almost anything as legitimate code if you don't tell it not to.
I'd go for
/usr/bin/strings
personally, then it'll allow binary junk too!
