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

Hello, and welcome to the annual Hexbear Spelling Bee, sponsored by fidel-wut's ghost

As a reminder, anyone who fails this test is immediately sent to the gulag and force-fed dictionaries with a stalin-comical-spoon until they can re-apply in next years spelling bee.

The word is bourgieosie. I meant bourgeioisie. I mean borguieos. Fuck. Wait, no, FUCK!!!

I got it from a reddit thread. I don't think it's actually original XKCD but a remix someone did of this one.

The original was to use tar without looking at the manual

Right? It's a super easy ask.

Every single scenario I can imagine myself ending up in where someone yells "hey Alex, you're a Marxist, right? Come quick!" goes about this well or worse. Especially in front of my mom. She was a child of the Cold War and it's easier to just pretend I'm nothing more than a center-left type who likes old Soviet imagery for the shock value, than to hash out her old fears with her and permanently alter our relationship by admitting I'm "the Soviet sympathiser her mommy warned her about". So I'd have to pretend to be worse at Being A Commie than I actually am.

misspelling it in the prompt is unfair!
