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

Like a kazoo or vuvuzela playing or something when you scroll past it. Ducks that quack honk . Brown note on PPB maybe?

Leave no option to turn it off.

The emojis already have sound, but you need the latest version of flash player to hear them.

Every Hexbear tab should play its own MIDI song, and even browser-level tab muting should be disabled so people can hear

I need an AI auto complete on my posts so that I know how to farm the most engagement

PPB should mean something. It's lost all its shock value and weight! Sound isnt enough; it should capture your mouse and take up the entire screen and play shart sound fx and install malware on your computer!

If you get PPB'd it should send your coworkers an email from you with a bunch of cumtown clips in it! It should send your mother screenshots of your browser history! PPB should ruin your fucking life!

mid-2000s internet was the best, when browsing for cracked computer games on shady websites would give you popups that froze your computer, playing embarassing sounds of pornography or winning $2000 or both, while installing malware. bring it back, retvrn

I remember a site piv.pivpiv something that made the window bounce around the screen so you couldn't close it, while singing "you are an idiot" and also installed malware

oh god it still exists but I don't want to click it

PPB is precisely the kind of case smell-o-vision technology was developed for

Also, it should shake the screen sometimes, completely at random.
