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

A lot of people use Windows 11 but I was looking at Windows XP which has 10 'P's, unlike Windows 11 which has 11 of nothing. Feels like a downgrade even if the number is bigger.

I was also looking at Windows ME which has 1000 'E's but I'm not sure I need that many of them, I think they went overboard in that version and it's too bloated

You should first of all see if your laptop actually supports windows. An easy test is this:

I use windows 7, the problem with XP is that it doesn't support 64 bits, the problem with 7 is that it broke a lot of xo stuff that was never fixed.

Terrifying, how come this didn't get more backlash from the user base?

As a Python programmer, I find 98SE the most useful

Windows 98 because that’s the year The Big Lebowski came out

The obvious answer is Windows 2000. It has 2000 of nothing but that's even better than 1000 E's because I've never needed even one E
