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

Italian food is good, but I probably wouldnt put it in my top three maybe not even my top five cuisines. Without even thinking about it, Id put Chinese and Indian cuisine at number one and two, since theyre both fucking huge cuisines with tons of options and variety.

If were talking European cuisine only, theres definitely an argument to be made that Italian cuisine deserves a top five spot, together with French cuisine. Also you might be joking with Turkish cuisine but it legit slaps.

[–] DerEwigeAtheist@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is 'chinese'cuisine a unified concept? Like, isn't it a giant country with a bunch of regional cuisines? My impression is that what the west gets as chinese cuisine is an marketing thing, a simplification. Like, what chinese cuisine?

[–] 9to5@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

You are absolutely right that there are big differences between regions within China in terms of cuisine, but if you look at what you can eat in Western Chinese restaurants, you still get a more specific cuisine even if it is undoubtedly adjusted to Western palates.

I know we’re in badposting but I fucking love food too much to be badposting rn. If we’re only considering Europe then, as an avid mushroom hunter, and thus, mushroom cook, I have to agree. My cooking tends to skew Italian and French, though, many species are often better served with a more Central European flair.

Species such as cantharellus, craterellus, Morchella, and pleurotus typically get a French or Italian treatment in my kitchen, while agaricus, cerioporus, and hydnum often find themselves in more Polish, Czech, or Hungarian dishes. The more versatile (imo) boletus, grifola, and Laetiporus species find themselves all over the continent. Hericium and hypomyces lactiflorum especially, though, get a decidedly New England treatment in my house… mmmm… lobster mushroom roll…

As you can tell, I’m both hungry and love talkin food n fungi.

If your pronouns were he/him I was going to say you sound like a fun guy, but somehow saying you sound like a fun gnomegodsgnomemasters doesn't hit in the same way.

[–] GnomeGodsGnomeMasters@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You could say I’m a G-Gnome, though screm-cool

Fwiw, my pronouns are he/him, but I prefer people — especially on the internet — know me before I allow them to acquaint themselves with the more gendered aspects of my person.

[–] SchillMenaker@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

Whatever it takes to get to the mushrooms

[–] ZWQbpkzl@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago (4 children)

French food is actually wildly overrated. Way more than Italian. French food is merely the only Northern European cuisine worth mentioning.

[–] 420lenin69@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Have you ever had black coffee and cigarettes for breakfast? Don’t trash talk French cuisine until you’ve tried it. It feels amazing.

[–] ZWQbpkzl@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago

French cuisine is opening a bottle of wine with a shoe.

They got foie gras. That abomination alone should disqualify them

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

They "invented" modern (European) restaurants. That's basically 90% of the reason why. The French Revolution created a huge unemployment problem for a bunch of highly skilled private chefs for nobles/royalty who suddenly became too headless to be able to eat food, so they had to degrade themselves to serving "common folk" (read: well off proles and petit bourgeoisie, the average worker could not afford these establishments). Before that you'd have establishments that served one or two things, a tavern that had a stew going for the past several decades, or an open air food court (also with stalls that only sold one or two types of food). The Greeks had thermopolia (where you could grab ready to eat hot food and the Romans had something similar but with grapes, cheese and bread, but none of those are really modern restaurants.

The concept of having a menu and being able to select an item, modify it to your tastes if you want, having that item made for you and delivered to your table was apparently revolutionary, and France became a culinary capital. Nevermind that this concept has existed in China since the Song dynasty and elsewhere in east Asia for a few centuries.

Pasta and pizza are two of my favorite foods

[–] DerEwigeAtheist@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's good, but people sleep on balkan cuisine

[–] huf@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago (4 children)

eh, italian soup game is weak. you have to go further east to get good soup in europe.

[–] DerEwigeAtheist@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The balkans are the reason austrians have better food , and especially soup, than the rest of the germanophones, they are the most slavic/hungarian germans.

[–] huf@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

onion slop eating germans civilized by the slavs... :D

[–] DerEwigeAtheist@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Also, austrians actually like food and living well. The germans truly have no culinary culture. They eat food cause everyone needs to, but they have no real love for it.

[–] ZWQbpkzl@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

Truly the wurst cuisine

[–] rootsbreadandmakka@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Absolutely insane opinion.

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

Minestrone is just pasta sauce someone accidentally added too much water to.

Tea isn't food. Water isn't food. Soup isn't food.

This is one of my most reactionary opinions but it's a hill I'm willing to die on. Sometimes it's better to be correct than to be liked.

[–] The_hypnic_jerk@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Soup isn't broth. Broth I can see your argument, but soup is a broth specifically with food in it

[–] SchillMenaker@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

Precisely. This is why ramen is incredible, it's mostly food.

[–] huf@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

you're just telling me you've never had good soup

[–] SchillMenaker@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I've had great tea before. Still not food.

Italian food is really good
Vietnamese food is also really good

Clearly the secret is pasta
I ate so many goddamn noodles while I was in Vietnam

[–] booty@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

Of all the countries which make food in Europe, Italy is one of them.

[–] Satanic_Mills@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Italian is the best European cuisine, easily.

What even is the competition? Greek?

France and Spain are bland and over reliant on animal products to taste of anything, and forget about northern Europe.

[–] 420lenin69@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

Oh I forgot about Greek.

Ok Italian is top 5

[–] la_tasalana_intissari_mata@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago (3 children)

the competition is beans on toast and whatever the nords make

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

Mostly cakes and herring

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

The nords made salmon sashimi a widespread thing, which sounds wrong but is something that happened.

Before northern Europeans tried to expand their salmon market to the Japanese, sashimi was largely tuna.

Surely you misspoke, the no. 1 European cuisine (as well as no. 1 European anything) is Albanian.

Goated with the tomato sauce.

[–] rootsbreadandmakka@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

Italian cuisine goes crazy. Cheese and tomato on flatbread? Like who else would even think of that? And unleavened wheat dough formed into various shapes? Like damn I don’t even know how they came up with that. And then on top of that they ferment grape juice and curdle fermented milk? Wow so innovative, we should all kneel before their culinary and cultural superiority.

[–] gayspacemarxist@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

Italian food is American-European fusion, and all the best parts are American.
