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

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

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

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

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.

They got foie gras. That abomination alone should disqualify them
