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

Yes, I read theory (the menu at Starbucks).
I think this could have legs as a react emoji like 
Oh I know, but I wouldn't wanna make a post there unless this shows support or PSL has a bigger moment later this season.
Flavored treats that are only available certain times of the year are the closest we get to the seasonal eating patterns of our ancestors
I know spring is just around the corner whenever the shamrock shake ripens up

Murray Bookchin upon hearing pumpkin spice lattes were no longer available
I'm a homosexual for
BRB, gonna get my Fred Flintstone alt…
[Hears Yabba Dabba Doo in the distance] Oh no, it's started.
i'm a matcha latte fan and lately im wondering if... it's just another flavour of white girl....
Yeah, but matchas are delicious year round.
Although I'm uh... also a white girl. 
I'm more of a masala chai latte fan myself. But I make it at home, with the ingredients I have available
Pumpkin spice lattes are all spice and no pumpkin.
Disappointing
Isn't this a bit misogynistic tho? I get that you're being ironic, but still scratches me the wrong way
no
Haha wamen b drinkin spice latte
I intended it to be more of a joke poking fun at arbitrarily assigning gendered coding to random objects. I enjoy a PSL when they go on sale, and think it's a bit ridiculous to call them feminine, so I found it funny that people actually consider it to be "basic white girl" behaviour. I don't think PSL is anythng to be ashamed of.
it's a bad post
Misogynists do like putting "White" in front of their misogyny and acting like it changes things.
I do honestly feel that this happens, yeah
It's serving, it's giving, it has aura, it's crashing out...
Pumpkin Spice backshots???
As long as the bucks is unionized I love to see it
I don't understand this pumpkin spice stuff, never tried it, because I don't really like pumpkin, and pumpkin to me is more of a savory dinner vegetable, not a fancy flavour for sugary drinks.
apparently it's not pumpkin flavoured but the spices Americans put in pumpkin pies or something.
I'm not from that part of the world and I'd never drink that shit so IDK tho
So it's just like a cinnamon spice flavoured latte and they can't just call it that because...they decided it should be seasonal for Halloween? This is some real nonsense and I don't care for any of it. Very glad I'm also not from that part of the world and would never drink that shit.
It's not pumpkin flavored, it's cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg (With cloves and allspice sometimes too).
Bought there once. They gave me a horribly diluted iced Americano.
Then Ive gone to a local swedish shop in Berlin called espresso house, the prices were way better, the service too (free sugar packs etc) and generally it didn't have the „underpaid middle shool dropout who hates to do his job” vibe.
