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

Your own boogers are unquestionably vegan for yourself to eat: nasal mucus is already normally swallowed by passing through the nasopharynx. You might as well ask whether your own spit when you eat is vegan.

For other people's boogers, I would say it's vegan if it was acquired consensually. This is almost certainly someone's fetish.

Non-human boogers certainly are not vegan.

※ Whether picking and eating boogers is vegan is a different matter of whether it is advisable to do so.

We must also consider that boogers freely given in a capitalist context may not be consensual in the strictest sense. Meaning if there is a profit motive or power dynamics issue at play, consensual boogers may turn into coercive boogers.

This makes it complicated if you are, for example, purchasing boogers or acquiring said boogers from someone who is in a relatively submissive position to you within different hierarchies.

Please do not assume it is okay to offer money to someone for boogers or ask your work subordinates if it is okay to consume their boogers.

Do you disagree?

It's also worth considering if those boogs are just gonna be thrown away--even if it's not strictly consensual or outright goes against the wishes of the producer, I go back and forth on whether it's ethical to consume a discarded, or "dumpster" booger

Eating dumpster boogers normalizes the idea that boogers are objects for our consumption. I prefer to treat them as inedible and do not consume boogers under any circumstances. However I do not talk down to others who are in circumstances that maybe require them to partake in dumpster boogers out of necessity.

I mean we already know it's definitely advisable to do so

Even eating someone else's boogers?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Especially someone else's.

Veganism distilled:

  • You can pick your friends
  • You can pick your nose
  • You can't pick your friend's nose

It's just that easy.

Depends--I maintain eating any part of a millionaire is vegan, but a normal person has to consent to giving you their boogs for them to be vegan. Most non-human animals can't consent, except like parrots and magpies, but I'm not sure they even make boogs, (I don't know much about avian respiration)

My cat wipes her eye crusts and boogers on me of her own accord (often despite my wishes) so hers are vegan too

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Only if you pick them lovingly

i think if whoevers booger it is consented and is >18yo it should be ok to call it vegan.
