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

smh this penny shit is so insidious.

used to be a person could get by just by looking pensive around an old person.

"penny for your thoughts?" they'd say.

Now there's no more incentive to think. The only way anyone can get ahead is posting feet pics on onlyfans.

Gentlemen. This is the end of the empire.

'in for a dime, in for a pound' doesn't quite have the same ring to it :(

Gotta switch to β€œin for a dime, in for a crime” smdh

Never heard that one, but I'm adopting it tyvm

Interestingly though, dimes have never been part of our currency here, but I do say 'turn on a dime' to mean a quick pivot, so I'm wondering how that worked its way into my vernacular

That is interesting! I don’t know what all countries even have a dime besides the US. Wonder if it’s just an old cultural export.

In for a dime, in for a dame. Although if you say that you have to be a noir detective.

What about a guy who goes on a rampage because he wants the penny back?

Shoulda seen the guy in McDs the other day, he was told he had to use the kiosk to order. Had smoke coming out of his ears the entire time. Red faced as can be.

One time I was playing Magic: the Gathering at a local card shop when I guy came in to pick up some singles. He got pisses and threw a fit because they were three cents more than what he saw online before leaving his house. He paid the extra amount and stormed out. He was super upset over less than a dime's worth of cardboard.

This is really a play by Big Credit Card so that you can avoid rounding.

You gotta just buy more food to get a price ending in 3 or 8, then you are getting $0.02 PAID to YOU by MCDONALD'S. These chumps are gonna be outta business once this gets out!

So this is what Trump's McDick's summit was really about.

[–] aanes_appreciator@hexbear.net 21 points 4 days ago (1 children)

they had to explain how the rounding works to him, specially.

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 15 points 4 days ago

The burger people say they want to make pennies round, but I have been told by many smart people, possibly the smartest (even though I am smarter) they say, "Mister President the pennies in your country are the roundest money we've ever seen" and that's true

[–] deforestgump@hexbear.net 12 points 4 days ago

Just wait until I start selling pennies on Ebay for $5 a piece.

You know there's already a team of PhD statisticians working nights to calculate how to make the price always end 3 or 8

[–] mar_k@hexbear.net 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

New Zealand got rid of the Β’1 and Β’5 coin by 2010, so they round to the nearest tenth (e.g. "$4.95" will cost $5.00 if you're paying cash)

youd THINK stores in NZ could just make all their prices end in Β’0 so there's always exact change (countries outside the US/Canada include sales tax in listed prices so it's always the exact amount).. but companies don't wanna lose psychological pricing strategies like $19.99, $9.95, etc πŸ™ƒ

[–] huf@hexbear.net 2 points 3 days ago

also, none of this rounding applies when people pay electronically (which they increasingly do)

Here's a little rhyme to help you remember if you should pay with cash or credit:

If the cents end one, two, six, or seven, Pay with cash, 6 7!

SIX SEVENNNN SIX SEVEEEN SIX SEVENN SIX SEVEN

When they phased out the half-cent in 1857, it was worth more than a dime is today.

Really, any denomination less than one minute of typical wages is more trouble than it's worth.
