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:
- 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
- This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
- This rule intentionally left blank.
- 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

tell my browser i'm opening 100 more tabs for this
it's like 5 windows and roughly 1,600 tabs last i checked
When your overestimate is laughably small.
Do you ever look at them?
semi-often! honestly i used to be way worse about it too, cramming 3k+ tabs into a single window until my browser would just keel over
now i make more of an effort to curate/silo off stuff into actual bookmarks
I gotta up my webpage game. I just browse hexbear until i've seen every post then read some arguments on game forums before closing firefox.
does this count as corrupting the youth 
Am i doing the corrupting? I'M CLEANSING THEM
wait did you call me the youth
it took me this long to consider that
yes actually! but it works either way. i'm either corrupting you by modeling a terrible way to live OR you're corrupting me by treating it aspirationally. whoever's oldest loses, hooray! 
100 tabs? I would never let it get that low.
I don’t appreciate my browser calling out my mental illness like this. Time to switch browsers I guess.
I tend to hit the browser’s max limit and then just delete tabs when I want to open new ones
there's a max limit? Dare I ask how many that is?
In iOS Safari, the max limit is 500. So not that bad
There's fewer than 500 web pages change my view
About half of mine are Hexbear so
acceptable
i'll never understand how people function with the 5 billion tabs in 20 windows thing. my partner does this and anytime she's asking me for help i get so pissed off because neither of us can find the damn thing we were just looking at. why? WHY do people do this?
What if I need that page later? Surely I'll come back to it later, so it needs to stay open. 
Honestly I'd prefer to set my browser to not reopen tabs and start with a fresh slate every day but it's so disruptive when the browser freezes while you are using it and you know that you have to restart the browser and loose all the tabs you are using right now.
most browsers have an option to re-open what was just closed. If it crashes, it will even ask you if you want this automatically. Otherwise on Firefox, history > restore previous session.

I found that this works when I restart the computer but not when I close frozen browser.
are you closing it via task manager? if you do it should* bring back everything without a fuss next time you start it up
*it works for me anyway
I don't remember shit, just that this is why switched reopening tabs back on.
5 billion tabs in 20 windows
haha computer fans go brr
idk but as someone who does this, there's a search function for tabs in *fox browsers
lmfao it's way more than 100
look, i need all those tabs of fanfics, and interactive fiction and youtube music playlists, and news sites, the browser is just going to have to suck it up
Fan fiction? Like fiction about fans?
you're saying a fan wrote this fiction?
uhhh i guess that's all i've got
I had to open another window because the number of tabs in the previous 2 windows got to be too many to keep track of.
previous 2 windows
How many websites even are there?
I have 3 tabs
There are dozens of us!
I truly didn't realize 100 was such a low estimate
Its like I just make a bookmark if I need to visit it again
God gives its hardest 33 duplicate pixiv tabs to its strongest waterfoxes
lol I have ten browser windows open and if you think I only have ten tabs per window you are sadly mistaken my friend.
I have Firefox start a new session every time I open it for my own sanity. If I need something again I can try find it through its shitty history search function
