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

Way too good of a post for this comm

This just gave me a thought. What if you took the “POW MIA” flag and changed it to “LGBT QIA+” in the same style. Not sure what you would change the image to, but making the pow flag “woke” seems like a pretty good bit.

unironically this in remembrance of those lost in the AIDS crisis.

And to homophobic attacks

Not quite the same, but I did these a while ago for all of the National Guard MAGAts who live near me.

An aside, but the POW MIA flag always looked like the ISIS flag to me

is there another type of parent that resurrects really weird old names? like Gottlieb or Aethelstan or Preserved or Alboin or Audoin or ...?

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah and you won't like their politics

[–] huf@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

oh i know that, we have them too, just with a different set of weird old names (Vajk, Taksony, Koppány, ...)
just wanted to know if the US has this specific type too.

A lot of them live in Colorado in places like Vail

Gottlieb

Pinball fans should bring this back. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gottlieb

[–] axont@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago

Nerds do this

[–] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

And then they'll be like "its pronounced, 'Bradley'".

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago

We just call him Chris, that's his middle name

The straights will literally spend dozens of hours making quilt bags and then claiming they can't keep track of QuILTBAG
