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

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 18 points 3 days ago

You merely adopted badposting. Owl was hatched in it. Molded by it. They didn't see an effort post until they were a grown bird, by then it was already blinding.

Skin tones are weird. When you paint skin tones, yeah you can go pink/brown/yellow or whatever, but real skin tones have mixes of shit you'd never expect, like blue and green. Also your skin isn't the same color around your whole body.

Imagine your whole body was covered lip skin except your nipples, which are made of the skin from the soles of your feet.

Because racism is wackadoo and based on wrinkly gibberish

You ever see a 17th century white guy?

Scared of bathing, put cinnamon and cloves in everything, thinks a lady will disintegrate if she moves faster than 2 mph

[–] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 10 points 3 days ago

thinks a lady will disintegrate if she moves faster than 2 mph

This is true, tho. If she can move faster than 2 mph without bursting into flames, she's no lady, she's a harlot and a Jezebel.

In Star Trek the green Orions called humans 'pink skins' for a while. White people were the real pinkos the whole time.

[–] Azarova@hexbear.net 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Andorians said the same thing in Enterprise :shran:

[–] culpritus@hexbear.net 11 points 3 days ago

Oh ya, this is what I was misremembering.

[–] Owl@hexbear.net 17 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Sure people are actually shades of brown pink and beige, but white is associated with purity and goodness and black is associated with shadow and evil, and the people who decided to classify everyone by a color system in the first place were racists.

I'm not white, I'm pig-coloured.

Damn right I’m a pinko

[–] sourquincelog@hexbear.net 13 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Answer I'm not going to source but feels right from a US history perspective (which I taught you a decade): whiteness as a concept was defined specifically in relation and distance to the concept of Blackness. You had anglos and teutons and celts and slavs etc etc who didn't see themselves as uniformly white until the use of black slaves tied freedom to whiteness and servitude to Blackness. Why they didn't call it pink instead? Idk

[–] merthyr1831@lemmy.ml 16 points 3 days ago

iirc it's based on 1600's scientific racism where different amounts of bile changed your skin tone, and Europeans were coincidentally the most balanced with their bile which made them superior, and said mixture of bile was considered "white"

[–] sooper_dooper_roofer@hexbear.net 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

actually a lot of white people are brown (color of desert sand), some are pink

[–] blame@hexbear.net 7 points 3 days ago

yea was gonna say, pink is more of a ukkk on ~~vacation~~ holiday thing. Normally it's like a very light brown.

We should be called pinkys, that's a good derogative.

I've known one or two of my fellow 🌾's that actually skew almost alabaster. It's kinda crazy, really.
