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

It's not my fault the fan art is all horny and that my guide books are hosted on the same site Onegai Fuck My Oppai Teacher translations are.

"I've been lying to the IT guy for the past half hour" would have been way less typing.

Hypothetically, if IT told you they needed to use a black light to work on your laptop, how would you feel about that?

The ifunny watermark makes this.

The shitty part is I can't find hexbear memes outside of ifunny on google images which sucks.

Reading this post was a rollercoaster:

The IT guy servicing my laptop went through my search history

"Oh no! What a terrible violation of OP's privacy!"

and found danbooru

"I sure hope this is just a misunderstanding..."

and ehentai

*exasperated sigh*

and I've been trying to explain to him for half an hour I used it for fan art and strategy guides

"Easy there, Pinocchio. Who the Hell posted this, anyways?"

SorosFootSoldier [he/him, they/them]

"ET TU‽"

I pirated the sims 4 for my sister and gave her the USB so she could install it on her laptop. When she gave it back to me I noticed that the Sims folder was right next to a folder labeled "[OnlyFans] @ avaaddams".

I try to tell myself that as far as porn goes, that's probably the least bad thing you could find on your brother's USB saul-your-honor

[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Having the porn isn't concerning, having it in a portable format is. Where is he taking that porn?

How many GB of porn do we reckon is on the ISS right now?

[–] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Imageboards can be largely divided into two categories: those derived from Futaba Channel, i.e. linear imageboards; and those derived from Danbooru, i.e. nonlinear imageboards. Danbooru is named after the Japanese word for "corrugated cardboard", and from Danbooru's name comes the suffix -booru to denote any similar nonlinear imageboard, much like how -chan has become a suffix for linear imageboards, after Futaba Channel (i.e. 2chan).

Danbooru is centered on anime, manga, and otaku culture more broadly, and does host plenty of perfectly innocuous fan-art, hence why the site might appear in image search results on Google or DuckDuckGo or whatever... However I think it's safe to assume that a majority if not vast majority of Danbooru's traffic comes from people wanting to look at all the porn hosted on the website: the site's non-linear nature — i.e. its system of elaborate tag-based searches — makes it perfect for people with very niche hentai fetishes to find, as it were, zurineta... Including, despite Danbooru not (yet) being banned in Norway, zurineta of a type which is effectively banned in Norway under court and police interpretations of Straffeloven § 311 (a law which is phrased so poorly that Sauls Goodmen try to argue that so-called "lolicon" is Actually Totally Legal Here), as well as zurineta of a type which the Storting inexplicably decided not to ban earlier this month.

But yeah, all in all, if you ever come across a Danbooru link while surfing the Web, then you should probably let that link stay blue — unless you know and are willing to accept any risks involved with clicking the link, from the legal issues to the experiencing your own personal Agony in the Garden. I know there's something called Safebooru which is supposed to be a mirror of Danbooru without all the porn, but I can't speak for where exactly Safebooru draws the line between SFW and NSFW, so I don't know if I can recommend it. I myself have not really used imageboards of any kind since I was a teenager browsing Derpibooru.

RE: Safebooru, they recently (within the last few years?) made a change where they split "Safe" into "General" and "Sensitive," both below the still-existing "Questionable"; everything previously tagged "Safe" was automatically retagged as "Sensitive", and going forward the criteria for "Safe" is very strict--pretty much "stuff you wouldn't mind someone seeing over your shoulder". So Safebooru is now (in theory) truly safe from what I can tell. Personally I wouldn't rely on it to the point that I'd browse it at work (idk why you'd be looking at anime art on a company network in the first place), but scrolling through a few pages I only saw one thing that might raise an eyebrow--I imagine some oldheads may not have gotten the memo.

Interesting, thank you.
