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

I read this long article about how in the old timey days people would figure out the bias of the roulette wheel (because nothing is actually perfectly level) and predict which numbers might be in that spot when the ball loses enough momentum to stop.

It's the reason for the rule where you have to bet before the ball comes down and the ball has to go all the way around the wheel etc.

Thank you for coming to my infodump

I don't understand gambling. I really like games that involve strategy, even if there is a random component, but whenever it's apparently against the rules to count cards or in any way give yourself a better chance of winning, I just don't get it. So I won by complete accident? No skill on my part? Why the fuck am I even playing then?? This may be downplaying the serious addictive qualities of gambling, and I don't mean to do that. To some people it is fun. I just really don't get it.

When i turned 19 (legal gambling age here) my mom took me to a casino and I played slots while she watched. I hit the bonus round on like spin 3 and won like $20 (we were poor it was penny slots) and my mom is like cheering and I didn't understand at all.

I just pushed a button and it says you win or you don't win... ok? I like poker
