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

talk to my handlers, they're the logistics of the operation. I'm just the test subject
I think the last kid did a better job. Are you secretly enjoying the hole experience?
not really
What part of you is itching the most right now?
all
"ouch"
Erm, sweaty, if you don't get off of hexbear and go back to being tortured, society is going to collapse. Don't you think you're being really inconsiderate right now?
sorry
hey asshole
I want my treats 
sorry my handlers aren't here one sec
bashes my head against the wall
did that help
hell yeah kid that was a solid new hat for me in fortnite, thanks or actually fuck you
you're welcome or that's alright
Thank you for your service.
no biggie
So, erm, funny thing: we were crunching some numbers and turns out - the whole dungeon thing? Not needed after all. We could have just had a utopia this whole time, no catch. Can't believe no one noticed this, doesn't even make sense in hindsight. Now isn't that the silliest thing?
It wouldn't be fair to the Omelas kids of the past if we stopped now. We have to get a meeting together to discuss the potential EV of the change. Go ahead and get a slide deck ready to talk about brand risk, ripple effects on the market, employee overhead, and all the good stats that I like. I need it by Wednesday to be ready for the pre meeting where I'll rope in marketing and HR on this.
ok 
can I go now
Ehhhh changing it now would be a lot of work...
left on read for six months
It's my turn now
don't force yourself out of pity but also please god get me out of here
This is the only way you can get out of here.....it's my turn..Yyyou had yyours. I need this.
ok thanks clock in tomorrow
just walk out! you can leave!
work
social thing
omelas
if it sucks... hit da bricks
can't. In the hole
If you just keep digging, they cant stop you. When they go high, you go low.
tried that but they kept pouring dirt so it would fill back up to the point where it was

mom says i can't talk to you :(
that's okay I'm used to it
It was a pretty mean prank to pretend to be an abused kid in a dungeon. Now a lot of people are leaving the city. Care to explain yourself?
Given your particular situation, where do you stand on the trolley problem given you're the one on the train track?
idk I'm not the lever guy ask them that's their decision
Should I walk away or not
if it soothes your soul to do so
What if the Omelas kid had bad vibes?
your vibes do lowkey worsen after torture
Fair tbh
They have cell coverage in the hole now? Smh my head everyone's on their phone now
In a Camusian sense, One must consider the Omelas kid whole.
that makes sense, I am in the hole
Omelas kid vs Frisco Kid, who wins?
I'm pretty emaciated ngl
What’s it like being the only one not clocked out on Drooz all the time?
can't really speak to things that I haven't had
