I think book titles in the US became like that, ‘title: sentence’, not sure if it was for SEO reasons or a modern marketing ‘innovation’, or just a fad

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

they just returned to tradition. old books sometimes had incredible titles.
The Sack of the Holy Ancient City of Magdeburg: A Treatise Comprising Evidences of Satanry Against the Vile, Unholy Papist Hermaphroditic Count of Tilly, by the Recalcitrant and Most Holy Alliance of All the True Christians of Brandenburg
At a certain point it becomes easier to remember and use the ISBN in conversation.
Badposting: Or How I Learnt To Stop Worrying And Love The Bean
Like The Whole Thing Is The Headline This Would Normally Be The Subheader Of My Post Proposing A New Radical Way Of Doing Journalism But It's Actually Still Just The Header Of The Everything Headline All The Time This Is How We Capture And Keep Readers Eyeballs
You know, if you just moved this part to the headline this might belong outside of badposting.
Post title character limit stymied me
It has to read like an Isekai title to really catch my eyes.
Every news article should fit the character limit of a tweet. That will solve all our problems.
