You can identify alchemist gold by its extreme purity.
Real gold has imperfections and impurities that make it better.

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

Yet no one wants to buy my lab made imperfections and impurties! That's bullshit. The stuff coming out of my lab is so impure, so opposite of perfect that it must be able to multiply the value of any diamond by a lot!
Trust me, I'm pissing on the gold transmutation circle every time, theres no way to tell the difference with the real thing
My diamonds are utter shit! Why does no one want them?
Ha I was going to post "this is actually happening with diamonds" before I clicked through
first they came for rubies.jpg

That's all it is, comrade, a leap of faith.

Also the mined gold supply is tightly controlled by a cartel who artificially restricts the supply to keep prices high and mines all it's gold with what are basically slaves.
Two days later, the alchemist is found dead in her lab. Police say she shot herself 8 times in the back before throwing herself out the window and running over herself with an SUV.
Headline: "Disgraced alchemist kills herself in shame after being exposed as fraud"
(This response is about general fuckery and has nothing to do with diamonds. I just hate to see a story without a proper ending.)
