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

lol the word "cellular" sucks so bad and the USA is still trying to use it (or "cell phone") for phones instead of just "mobile" like the rest of the english-speaking world

The only times I ever hear it anymore are in company names or advertising. Only my aged father sometimes calls it that, anyone else under retirement age just calls it a phone ime

my comment was too bad for badposting so i deleted it

[–] scrungus@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I thought it was a reasonable comment, sorry I wasn't trying to come off all actually on purpose

I dunno I didn't want OP to think I was taking a shot at them, it was an intentionally over-the-top comment but it has always bugged me how unwieldy it is to say "cellular". it's fine as a biology term but kind of a brick for a word you use dozens of times a day

Oh I thought it was a good comment! I was wondering why you took it down.

[–] miz@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I undeleted since it seems I was worried over nothing

[–] Shaleesh@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I appreciate how you were concerned with that though. meow-hug

[–] scrungus@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Fair enough! You are totally correct that it's clunky as all hell though

I think it would probably be a way to say, an additional few lines of adjectives without punctuation. A lot of people want adjectives with more than natural exceptions, so I would suggest reducing it on a source basis to "alternative" to "nonological beliefs" as more than a "science" or "unslamation" to further morph into any definition, "non-human purposes", it's much simpler. A similar definition is that it's very simplistic. They just want to take a little break, and s * e you tohale *cockBorn.
