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

*opens Hexbear*
*sees weird vertical line*
*tagline says: "Ceci n’est pas une tagline" (or something similar)*

Me: "Oh, just another stupid tagline joke. Just reload the page, I guess."

*weird vertical line is still there*
Me: makima-huh

Yeah, you really got me with that catgirl-disgust

I think it depends on the the font. If open developer tools and change stuff I can get it to work.

The best part of when it suddenly appears when the main text enters the screen.

Zalgo, it abuses unicode's ligature system to chain additions to letters. This allows for things like: Ḁ̵̢̡̢̡̡̧̧̨̢̢̢̡̨̡̡̡̧̨̧̛͕̯̫̮̹̙̟̩͎͍̰̳̱̤̝̜̗̪̫͙̖̱̦̻̞͉̥̜͖̹̞̲̰̗̤͍̻͙̜̦̥͉̱̣̞̪̯̳͈͎̝̰̦͚̫̤̭̝̹̰͉̮̰͚̝̩̬̦͚̥͙̱̪̹͕̱̝̪̹̼̥̩͎͍̰̬̲̺͍̱̱͚̟̻͓̞̗̗̣̖͉̥̪̜̳̞̘̩̰̞̭̝̗̗̮͔̪̠̭͍̞̮̺̹̦̝̦̯͕̳̰̩̝͉̗̯͓̼̹̮͎̹̝̺̗̺͚͇͕͍͇̲̤̤͚̹͛̒͂̃̀͌͊̂͋̿̂͊̂̓͐͊̏͋̈́̋̓̏̒͛̓̆̈́͌̎̀͊͗̔͑̏͊̒͂͊̾͂̿̐̊̒̽̇̿̉̔́͑̈́̈́́͛̎͊̌̍̈́̓̉͗̈́̇̏̃̌̓̒̆̉͛̌́̈́̇̊̀̌̔̀͑̍̽͆̏̈̌̃̽̒̈́̆̾̒̇͐̈́̋̓͑͛͗͑̈́́͛̾̉̓̑̔̉̑̅̀̄̐̎͆̔̈́̓͊͌̿̀̍̈́͋̋͆̀͑̉̃̉͒͗̎̋̓̋̃̔̄́̏̌̅̈̍̾̐̾̋͆̒̾̿̏͊̽̂͐̈̑̑̿̄̓͛̌̅͑̓͌̿͌͗͊̊̈́̆̃͒̿͒͊́̕̕̚͘̕̕̚̚̚͘͘̚͘͜͜͜͜͠͝͠͝͝͝͝͠͝͝͝͝͠ͅͅͅͅͅͅͅ

After Zalgo generator didn't work. What I actually did was ask Deepseek for a "reddit title that sounded like a magic spell" then said "make it completely incomprehensible with symbols and shiz".

Deepseek said "i got you bro" then proceeded to spit out this, which also broke Deepseek's own box.
