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

Maybe, I am no expert. But there are 3 prominent sources of Anglo-Saxons of which I am aware, Angles from Angeln (Germany, used to be Danish), Jutes from Jutland (Denmark) and Saxons from nowhere near Saxony (Germany).

lol i meant frisians, mixed up my sourkraut eaters. frisian is the closest relative of english and in late antiquity they were barely differentiated, they made up a good portion of "anglo-saxon" settlers but didn't leave their name on the important bits of land so they dont get a grain of credit.

Ah, well, Frisians make more sense than the Flemish (Although I can't rule out either, as I am no historian). Especially given that Frisians and Saxons were neighbours. Admittedly I think Frisians in general just tend to get skipped over when discussing history, maybe except for a brief mention of the Frisian Freedom.
