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 wish I still had my notes from Gravity's Rainbow. A friend's dad still had his legal pad with his notes from when he read it in a file somewhere and he trusted me with it. I cribbed his flowcharts for myself. Something that dense you take all the help you can get. And like you said, 5 pages a day was an achievement.

Infinite Jest I got halfway through before I decided I had enough. Enjoyed it, not invested enough in the story to finish it. I only know House of Leaves by reputation.

Same. Gravity's Rainbow too but I eventually listened to the absurdly well produced abridged German audio play.
