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

Hexbear has been getting a lot more attention and activity as of late, and while it is nice to see all the new posts and discussions, it would be a good time to make sure we really appreciate one particular user who adds a lot to the site.

BadTakesHaver, take a bow. Your posts and comments have made me laugh more times than I can count.

I saw BadTakesHaver at a grocery store yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

as a Day 1 user of this site, its great to see users like BadTakesHaver rise up from nowhere. I hope they stick around for a long time

[–] BadTakesHaver@hexbear.net 8 points 2 weeks ago

their reddit user icon always threw me off

[–] BadTakesHaver@hexbear.net 8 points 2 weeks ago

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I appreciate him for his bad takes

I'm being held hostage by BadTakesHaver in a warehouse somehwere in southwest Nebraska. I don't know the coordinates. Please send any help you can.

[–] BadTakesHaver@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

no way he wouldn't do that

[–] MaghrebiLenin@hexbear.net 4 points 2 weeks ago

You're right. And if he did I probably deserved it.

[–] BadTakesHaver@hexbear.net 7 points 2 weeks ago

tbh, I dont think @BadTakesHaver@hexbear.net needs an appreciation thread. he definitely knows we all love him very much

[–] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 7 points 2 weeks ago

BadTakesHaver dropped a fake Cryptopunk into my wallet and shortly after several rare Bored Apes were stolen from me. I'm currently in contact with OpenSea to have them flagged. The damage easily exceeds $70,000. My wife is currently visiting her parents and I really hope this can get sorted out before she comes back, our relationship can't handle this right now.

BadTakesHaver, I'm sincerely asking you to please return my apes.

[–] BadTakesHaver@hexbear.net 7 points 2 weeks ago

[–] BadTakesHaver@hexbear.net 7 points 2 weeks ago

[–] BadTakesHaver@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

long time user here. its been great seeing his posting style mature over the years

[–] BadTakesHaver@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

i have had a lot of fun on c/gambling thanks to his community management

[–] BadTakesHaver@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

my only complaint is that they dont post enough

[–] booty@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

Hot take: I can't say I appreciate BadTakesHaver. You see, he has had a concerningly high number of bad takes both recently and historically. Can we maybe ask for some better takes?

[–] BadTakesHaver@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

their posts made me laugh more times than i can count
