badposting
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:
- 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
- This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
- This rule intentionally left blank.
- 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

Thank you for taking the time to explain this, I have learned something today. That does sound like a persistent piece of folk knowledge even if the machines that it pertains to haven't been manufactured in 30+ years. I'll have to check service records but I think I've kept up to date with transmission fluid changes, if not I'm pretty sure the cost to eventually repair or replace would be greater than the value of my ride.
It usually is, and it has only gotten more expensive in recent years. Before you get your fluid changed, get a (free) sample test kit from Blackstone Labs (not that Blackstone) so that you can send it back for used oil analysis. Used oil analysis is like $50 from them (on their "pay for samples" page, it's the Oil + TAN test), and the analysis will give a breakdown of things like acidity and presence of wear metals so you have an inkling of just how fucked your transmission is. If you decide to go through with it, start with a drain-and-fill and get your oil sample from that.
I can't decide whether I sound more like a bot or if "not having my car's transmission blow up" is my special interest
A bot would never have useful in-context information like this, thank you for taking the time.
