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

Is it actually supposed to have that short i sound? I've always been using a long i
In English it's a long i (/ˌaɪ.bjuˈpɹoʊ.fən/), so you've got it correct! In most other languages it's closer to what English speakers think of as a long E (i.e. how most languages pronounce the letter i). But unlike you, the designer of this sweatshirt made two mistakes.
First, the second character is pu instead of bu, so it starts off as ipu instead of ibu. The two are differentiated by the diacritic in the upper right:
{ブ|bu}{プ|pu}
Second, the エ (e) should actually be a small ェ, so it actually says ipuprofuen (adding an extra vowel):
✔フェ ❌️フエ
I know these things might seem subtle if you don't speak Japanese, but I'm just baffled that whoever made this shirt failed at copy-pasting the word from a dictionary. But then again, the katakana I see on shirts is more often wrong than right, so it's apparently harder than you'd think.
Apparently the popular brand in Japan is called EVE (イブ like イブプロフェン). Mildly amusing fact of the day for me lol
i was already confused on how ipupurofuen is ibuprofen
trying to imagine something more cringe than japanese orthography and i cannot
The fact that they managed to get the jpeg crust on the fabric 
I hope your cat ears are better already.
