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

Pillowmancy

I could summon pillows, and also change the texture of air and objects around me to be soft and squishy like pillows are

I originally got the idea from the HxH magic system

[–] oliveoil@hexbear.net 5 points 6 days ago

The ability to turn people into spoons, and undo it.

I'll collect people like Pokemon and stack 'em.

Netanyahu? Spoon. Ben Gvir? Spoon. Reactionaries? Spoon.

Maybe I'll unspoon them a century later, after we fix the world and undo their mechanisms of power.

That's my wizard power

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The ability to spray infinite amounts of magic, near frictionless lubricant out of my asshole. No, this is not a sex thing, it's an arcane-trickster meets the worlds weirdest clown thing.

Imagine being able to have a cartoon-style banana peel. Now make it nigh invisible and give yourself an infinite supply. Now make it deployable by farting, or at least pretending to.

And it's magic. It actually materializes like 6 inches away from my butt, so I don't turn my pants into a goopy mess.

Colorless, odorless, tastless. The perfect pratfall. The undetectable laxative. Perfect for parties, an instant "ice" skating rink! Make money winning slip and fall cases! Stand on your head and become the sumo wrestling champ! They can't push over what their hands slip off of. Win every bobsled race with the most unconventional form, spraying near frictionless lube in front of the sled the whole way. Create the perfect getaway from a heist by sending your pursuers slipping and sliding. Need to quit adventuring and lay low while the sumo and bobsled judges search for the guy who stole all the gold medals after being disqualified? You can make some easy side money through industrial applications! Need to stage some "accidents" to take out terrible co-workers at your industrial job? You'd be surprised how dangerous it can be to go careening off a catwalk at walking speed. Lighten up a funeral, spray lube all over the casket handles! Need to spice up some alone time with the widow? Do I really need to say more?

This is tagline material. You win. Best wizard.

You see Air Force One in the sky, you start giving the pilot sky head, he loses control and plows the entire thing into the ground

Can you handle that much power?

[–] cattish@hexbear.net 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)
[–] corvidenjoyer@hexbear.net 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Oh. Well, what could possiably go wrong?

[–] cattish@hexbear.net 3 points 6 days ago

Just gotta hope no one turns me into a wizard anytime soon.

Illusion with a concentration in cognitohazards cognitohazard

[–] Salah@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I would be able to control the mood and emotions of other people. I could also make people fall in love but I would be very careful with this ability because I don’t want to coerce people.

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Do you need line of sight? Would be very funny to make trump feel love for the first time in the middle of one of his rambles.

[–] Salah@hexbear.net 4 points 6 days ago

I’d need some way to perceive him in real time, if the time delay isn’t too large a livestream would work!

Plant/nature magic seems the best in terms of danger and usefulness. Oh you want to golf? Well your golf course is now a forrest sucks to suck.

Election magic. I would love to be able to cast Shield of Democracy and Protection from Evil and Russians as needed so that our elections aren't being controlled by the Russians normal~/s~
