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

Nothing is stopping him. He's already done a Sieg Heil on national television

What is this, c/adposting?

Exxon Mobil bought c/adposting from the mods for 3 trillion dollars.

Give me 72 hours, five stout men and 300 pounds of hardtack

I'll find you a lover

That or the Jade Monkey, which would also be good to find

I can spare 60 hour, 4 doughty men with their loyal dog, and 200 pounds of pemmican. It's not enough but it's what I can spare right now

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

If it makes you feel better he doesn’t love the name very well, he put it on Twitter of all the cursed things to choose and he chose the cursediest

Didn't he try to call Paypal "X" back when he was with Paypal and he was literally the only person who thought that was a good idea?

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 6 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Yes. His company he called X got bought out by paypal, and i think after that he tried to get them the call paypal X instead lol

Bezos had a similar thing where Amazon was originally “MakeItSo” because of course lord-bezos-amused missed the point of Star Trek and for years if you went there it would redirect to Amazon because it was his personal pet website

It’s like the most weirdly human thing about them
