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

Dogs are literally a collective species whereas cats are not

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Feral cats often live together in complex social groups.

[–] ikilledtheradiostar@hexbear.net 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

only if they are related,which indicates that cats are pro nuclear family

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Alloparanting observed in cats is not pro nuclear family.

Come on, I was setting up a perfectly viable revolting/revolutionary pun

[–] opiumfree@hexbear.net 4 points 15 hours ago

all pets are reactionary (maoist reality)

[–] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 8 points 21 hours ago

It's true. My dog is a conservative. I try to avoid discussing politics with her.

[–] BeanisBrain@hexbear.net 11 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

I've met more than one person who loves dogs and has an absolutely fanatical hatred of cats, but I've never seen the inverse. I'm not sure what's going on there.

[–] lil_tank@hexbear.net 6 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I've never thought about this but now that you said it I think you're right. I know dog-fearing cat lovers but that's not the same thing it's true that dogs can be scary

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 6 points 15 hours ago

Cats would be scary too if they were large adult child sized.

[–] Crucible@hexbear.net 5 points 16 hours ago

The only trustworthy position is a person who likes cats and dogs, but LOVES capybaras, and is iffy on humans

[–] Snort_Owl@hexbear.net 9 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

Those people get a dog purely for the joy of ordering something around that cant choose otherwise and get a kick out of a creature liking them for no good reason. Cats are antithetical to that because they wont do what you want ever.

Not saying all dog people are like that though, many are super chill but I have met a lot of extremely unpleasant dog people whereas cat fanatics are just silly like me. For negative feelings towards dogs its mostly not trusting other people’s dog until I know they dont want maul me to death while the owner laughs and does absolutely nothing to stop it.

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 6 points 18 hours ago

9 out of 10 dog people are like "haha the dog is just playing it would never hurt anyone". 1 out of 10 dog people is like "why would you even think about walking past my dog this closely, do you want to loose a limb".

cats are reactionary when they see a cucumber and jump straight up

cats are revolutionary when they fall off something and spin to right themselves

dogs are reactionary when they see a squirrel

dogs are revolutionary when they chase their tail

Is this going to be in the test?

[–] Owl@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago

Yes, when the revolution comes, you'd better know one lectic per member of the global proletariat.

My mum likes to watch the squirrels in her back garden and feed them peanuts.

My mum's cat likes to chase the squirrels in his back garden and try to eat them.

I have watched a middle aged woman have a struggle session with a cat more times than I'd like to admit to. (Snuggle sessions, on the other hand, she has had to watch me have with said kitty. He's very good at them.)

AWOOF Awoof. Its true dog treats made me vote for Donald Trump twice

[–] MasterBlaster@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

cats have zero organizational potential, they simply will scheme for a little treat. dogs are capable of a great deal for a little treat, giving them marginal organizational potential

[–] Horse@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 11 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

Police dogs exist but police cats don't

[–] Horse@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 6 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

A guide cat will do fine as long as you are willing to go where the cat wants to go.

a few years ago I was looking for fish in a market in a place I didn't live in, so I followed a random cat around and got to the fish market.
