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

kinda real though. ive been copying the writing cadence of my grumpy ass coworker every time i have to interact with him and it makes him blow up every time. this has been going on for years

i always end up giggling like an imp, kicking my lil feet because i got the reaction i planned for

Hell yeah. I try to use more of a selectively engage - side step - Judo hip toss strategy, but matching the other person's energy and witnessing the meltdown is very strong.

The rules of an office job

  1. fuck with everybody
  2. never do the job
  3. fuck with everybody
  4. find a way to make the team forced fun event so utterly diabolically tortuously shit that everyone looks like they want the building to explode as you fake enthusiasm at the shittest activity to grace humanity under the guise of team building because i hate all my colleagues and i want them to suffer

At an office job, sometimes your entire job is just to waste as much time as possible. Because really, the bosses just want butts in chairs. It's way more common than you'd think, especially in public sector offices.

Have you tried chopping your balls off and being a scheming eunuch at your email job? New heights of fun await

As for me? I just hoped to pass the civil service exam and become low level bureaucrat. Unfortunately, my brother--Jesus, you may have heard of him-- had other plans for me.
