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

Fan fiction? Like fiction about fans?
you're saying a fan wrote this fiction?
uhhh i guess that's all i've got
I had to open another window because the number of tabs in the previous 2 windows got to be too many to keep track of.
previous 2 windows
How many websites even are there?
tell my browser i'm opening 100 more tabs for this
I have 3 tabs
There are dozens of us!
I truly didn't realize 100 was such a low estimate
Its like I just make a bookmark if I need to visit it again
100 tabs? I would never let it get that low.
i'll never understand how people function with the 5 billion tabs in 20 windows thing. my partner does this and anytime she's asking me for help i get so pissed off because neither of us can find the damn thing we were just looking at. why? WHY do people do this?
What if I need that page later? Surely I'll come back to it later, so it needs to stay open. 
Honestly I'd prefer to set my browser to not reopen tabs and start with a fresh slate every day but it's so disruptive when the browser freezes while you are using it and you know that you have to restart the browser and loose all the tabs you are using right now.
most browsers have an option to re-open what was just closed. If it crashes, it will even ask you if you want this automatically. Otherwise on Firefox, history > restore previous session.

I found that this works when I restart the computer but not when I close frozen browser.
edit: Ok maybe it does work.
are you closing it via task manager? if you do it should* bring back everything without a fuss next time you start it up
*it works for me anyway
I don't remember shit, just that this is why switched reopening tabs back on.
lmfao it's way more than 100
it's like 5 windows and roughly 1,600 tabs last i checked
When your overestimate is laughably small.
Do you ever look at them?
semi-often! honestly i used to be way worse about it too, cramming 3k+ tabs into a single window until my browser would just keel over
now i make more of an effort to curate/silo off stuff into actual bookmarks
I gotta up my webpage game. I just browse hexbear until i've seen every post then read some arguments on game forums before closing firefox.
does this count as corrupting the youth 
Am i doing the corrupting? I'M CLEANSING THEM
I tend to hit the browser’s max limit and then just delete tabs when I want to open new ones
there's a max limit? Dare I ask how many that is?
In iOS Safari, the max limit is 500. So not that bad
I don’t appreciate my browser calling out my mental illness like this. Time to switch browsers I guess.
Imagine what my browser tabs look like.
