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

They should turn it into a Congolese colony for a change.

It is genuinely a spite country. Like it exists to spite continental European powers, and that's funny.
It exists so that Germany can invade France more easily
I forget if it was the UK fucking with the Netherlands or if it was France but it was 1 of the two basically going "it'd be a shame if your most valuable and industrialized territory were simply not yours anymore"
No, it kind of became its own thing during the wars of the reformation. I had to double check because I mostly just know about this as a side part of other things (wars of the Reformation, French Revolution, etc.). The Netherlands were the protestant part that rebelled against the Hapsburgs and Belgium stayed loyal and Catholic. Then it became a part of France after the War of the First Coalition against Revolutionary France. There was an attempt to unify it with the Netherlands after the defeat of Napoleon, but due to a bad economic crisis inflaming the protestant/Catholic divide, Belgium rebelled and became a separate nation again. There was talk later in the 19th and early 20th centuries of folding it in to France or the Netherlands or something else, but it had become seen as a useful buffer territory between Germany and France, and best to keep several small non-aligned nations rather than letting the lowlands get claimed by one of the great powers.
excuse you but I have a degree in history from victoria 3
The UK was afraid of the French annexing Belgium
real shit belgium and switzerland are such an antiquated idea. we've moved past the need for buffer states between the frogs and the adolfs, that's so 20th century
isn't switzerland just one giant high-end shopping mall?
I thought it was one giant tax haven
Its funny because a large part of Flemish nationalists are trying to get rid of belgium
It's actually kind of a lovely country. Unfortunately it's currently full of Belgians, which is of course disgusting, but problems are there to be solved!
The Opera that sparked the Belgian Revolution, "La Muette de Portici" is secretly a magic ritual and to undo Belgium you need to perform it again. But every time the Belgian Opera tries they have to do it in Paris for "political reasons"
because they have that peeing baby statue
Big Waffle holds all the cards
Sorry I forgot my Delete Belgium button at home, it will not happen again
because the Netherlands also kinda ass with it
wydm brussel sprouts are not actually from Brussels, what's the point of this country
