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.

Bad example. If they proved P = NP, that might be more on par with the others.
Find a computationally cheap way to factor large numbers --> banking system collapses
They would just use OTPs and would be fine. You’d start having armored trucks drive around with hard drives full of keys, but it would be ok.
Now I really want a dystopian novel about a world where p=np was proved and how the world adjusts to it.

Isn't that what quantum computing is all about?
to be fair, the earth would probably be pretty happy about that - humans just wouldn't be all too happy...
