badposting
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

Vector search tech that all search engines rely on so heavily flattens everything to the lowest common denominator.
You’re asking about Australian owls but from the usa? “You want information that relates aus owls to the usa, trust me bro.”
Google generally privileges US-based sources and has always been shit at searching for some topics outside of the US. For example, if you want to search for where a TV show is streaming, Google for years has given results pointing to bullshit like Hulu or Peac*ck or other platforms that are only available in the US. To give a more rigorous example, this study focused on art ( https://academic.oup.com/dsh/article-abstract/36/3/607/6042086 ) also shows how Google is heavily biased towards US-based artworks and galleries.
Google is and always has been an instrument of American (cultural) imperialism.
The funniest thing is that I don't even live in the USA and my VPN is set to Amsterdam atm
