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

divided up by color and pitted against each other in decadent games for their bourgeois masters

When I feed the hungry hippos they call me a Saint. When I ask why the hippos are hungry they call me a communist.

parenti the revolution that feeds the hippos is the revolution that gets my support

Artificial scarcity creating a zero-sum race to the bottom… smdh (stroking my dogs head)… hippos need to seize the means of adding little white balls to the middle of the board

it's just hippo nature to be hungry hungry

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

Are you saying hippos are ontologically hungry? This is problematic and you must be cancelled on facebook. Just because they are hippos does not mean they are hungry

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

typical flapper-ass behavior to lecture a hippo about my own fucking lived experience. Avianoids don't get it and never will.

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

Fine! Eat your white balls see if I care!

[–] unaware@hexbear.net 5 points 2 weeks ago

Give a hippo a ball and it can eat for a game. Teach a hippo to fish balls and it can feed itself for the rest of its life.

The hippos are in assisted living, and must be fed by a caretaker.

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

Balls? Let them eat cubes
