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

"But if there's no actual hunny, what's the point of this "hunnypot"?"

No matter what you tell him, he just stays stuck on "but where's the actual hunny" type questions.

"Oh a pot of honey, that sounds lovely."

"No Winnie! They're trying to trick you into eating the honey!"

"Well it's a pretty good trick, because I want to eat that honey."

Yeah, that's about how it'd go.

And disappointment when there was no actual hunny. Although in the context of Winnie the Pooh, I could totally see them making a "honeypot" joke in which the trap actually is a pot of hunny.

As soon as he got home, he went to the larder; and he stood on a chair, and took down a very large jar of honey from the top shelf. It had hunny written on it, but, just to make sure, he took off the paper cover and looked at it, and it looked just like honey. “But you never can tell,” said Pooh. “I remember my uncle saying once that he had seen cheese just this colour.” So he put his tongue in, and took a large lick. “Yes,” he said, “it is. No doubt about that. And honey, I should say, right down to the bottom of the jar. Unless, of course,” he said, “somebody put cheese in at the bottom just for a joke.

he's absolutely aware of honeypots with no honey in them.

Of course he is, he regularly complains about his hunnypots having no hunny left in them.

It's just that he might not understand the idea of a "honeypot" that isn't an actual pot intended to store hunny. And to him, a hunnypot that contains no hunny serves no purpose, obviously.

i quoted the part where he's worried about a honeypot being used to store cheese!
