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

there are youtube videos on the best methods for nabbing a pigeon. honestly they are free pets. they arent wild animals. they are feral animals. 100% of pigeons in the west are escaped pets from a long time ago that have bred in the wild. they do really well when kept as pets and live much better, healthier, longer lives.

Have you tried feeding him?

Not yet, I just moved in. I'll try to see if I can find a feeder that I can install outside my window when I'm back from holidays.

I have had pigeons make nests and lay eggs in my balcony quite often in the past and had to constantly protect them from crows. kril-drained

What a gorgeous lil dove. I see them all over the city I work in, and they’re such industrious critters. From high points in buildings you can see their favorite little alcoves on the roofs where there are good sized puddles, plenty of shade, and lots of cliff like nooks on the sides of buildings. They manage to find and make nests in the smallest spots without anti-bird spikes- and I’ve seen them rip up smaller sections of spikes. I think they’re the critters I have the toughest time not anthropomorphizing - they just have such big personalities, and have persevered through so much human bullying
