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:

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

Mod Announcement: Today's downtime (hexbear.net)

We're like to extend our most sincere apologies for today's downtime, explain the issue, and talk about what we'll be doing going forward.

Late last night or early this morning, an owl entered the server room and, unsurprisingly, pissed on everything. We had to drag them out of a corner where they'd started building a nest out of CAT5 cables. After checking with all our keyholders, we determined that they had not tricked someone into lending them the keys this time, and nobody had left a window open. We have not found their entry point yet, but we suspect we are getting closer (we've found a large pile of shit near one of the vents).
We managed to dry one server off and get the website running again, but unfortunately we only have 1 hair dryer and will need a few more days to dry the rest of the servers and get the site fully operational.

Going forward, our plan is:

Cover outside AC vents and similar in chicken wire
assess and reinforce weak points in the building's structure
tape old CDs to the building to reflect the sun and scare them away
attack roosting spikes to the server racks
stop keeping open, uncovered cans of beans at our desks

We are also looking into hiring a falconer as a more active deterrent.

Thank you for your patience in such a difficult time.

I am, I'm telling people I've known for years that I've been watching them decaying. It's a wonderful hobby. I do this to people I know who destroyed their lives with drugs, too. They act smug as well. My cancerous, decrepit uncle tried to come at me, even. I just keep getting smugger and smugger by the day.
