badposting is a comm where you post badly


This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?


Rules:

  1. Do not post good posts.
    • Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
    • Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

Everything he touches turns to gold but it's not a chain reaction so presumably he could just wear some fine ass gold gauntlets

But if king midas puts on the gloves they turn to gold and then he can't ever take them off

thinking-about-it

Clearly the only prudent solution is for him to lather himself up entirely with (now) golden bodypaint

Isn’t gold like super pliable though? It seems the gold doesn’t spread through other gold things like some kind of gold plague or else the entire earth would have turned to gold immediately. So gloves would probably work, they’d just be really uncomfortable like all of his clothes.

You'd have to make them out of something very thin or they'd be way too heavy and stiff I'm pretty sure. Or something loose, like chainmail as others have suggested. Which would also mitigate the weight issue.

What if he just put like two giant condoms over his hands

The invention of polyethylene plastic would have made the downsides minimal. Save for the touch of another human but who needs that

Gold chainmail.
