badposting is a comm where you post badly


This is not a [email protected] alternative. This is not a [email protected] 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

Bigfoot has confounded cryptozoologists for too long. No matter how many fringe weirdos with guns fuck about in the woods, there has been no success in capturing this illusive creature. Worse yet, every alleged photo of Bigfoot seems to be illegibly blurry.

But it is within this blurriness that I believe may be the missing clues to locating Bigfoot.

Here we have a picture of a Pholcus phalangioides, the cellar spider, the peanut spider, daddy longlegs.

P. phalangioides is itself surrounded in rumours and mystery, old wives tales claim that they are the most venomous spider but lack sufficiently long fangs to penetrate human skin. This is untrue, these fuckers can and will bite you if they get the chance, but they lack strong enough venom to do more than give you a little itch.

P. phalangioides has an evolutionary trait that sets it apart from other spiders, when threatened they will oscillate at extreme speeds. Scientists debate why they do this but ultimate truth is it makes them a bugger to photograph.

Now look again at the picture of Bigfoot from the thumbnail.

Notice how clear that plant in the foreground is in comparison to Bigfoot.

I put it to you that Bigfoot is not in fact the missing link between man and other primates like so many cryptozoologists suggest, but is in fact a gigantic spider capable of gyrating like a daddy longlegs. And that it uses this gyration and correct placement of its legs to mimic the silhouette of the humans it perceives to be a threat.

"But how come no-ones found any man sized spiders?" You, a fool, ask.

To that I say, "did you look?"

The truth is out there my friends, you must simply seek it.
