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

Oh you mean like the twitch streamer who does a lot of booby stuff?

I'm just going to assume that you mean the avian species with the blue feet, and that the name is an homage to touching (colorful) grass touch-grass

Does this count as a Veblen good?

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

~~A million percent. No rich person would take her up on this of she charged 2 dollars~~.

I guess technically this is a veblen service

Nervously hitting the random name generator on the World of Warcraft character creator and looking back at my wife for approval.
