Every single post on !badposting@hexbear.net is both good and bad at the same time.

If the post was an actual badpost (what the foolish moderators/admins intended for this community) then we could say it fits well for !badposting@hexbear.net, or in other words, is a good post for the community.

However, if a post was a good post, we could say it fits badly for this community. Or in other words, a … bad post

As we understand now, our entire understanding of this community is now flipped. Good posts are now bad posts, and bad posts are now good posts, but this community only allows bad posting curious-marx

But it doesn’t end there. If we say all goodposts are bad, that makes them badposts. But we have also learned that badposts are good posts. So we are back to square one and it is a recursive problem.

Therefore all posts are in a quantum superposition of badposting and goodposting at the exact same time.

This paradox could have easily been avoided, had the badposting mods understood the catastrophy they have unleashed on the bearsite. It’s all your fault badposting mods. The fog is coming.

    All you have done is restate The /b/adposting Completeness Theorem without even realising it.

    This is sophomoric work and quite frankly I expect better from you on future essays.

    Everyone who has never posted in badposting is actually doing the real badposting. It’s the only way to bad post. Not post at all

    You know I’ve been thinking about a different badposting paradox. If you badpost a bad post to badposting which makes other people agree/chuckle, then it’s not a bad post but a good one, and doesn’t fit. Right?
    So, necessarily, you have to post bad posts that people DON’T want to see, but… that defeats the purpose of a community?
    Which turns badposting into a weird balancing act of posting things people don’t want to see but also, if they saw it, wouldn’t anger them…

    It’s a head scratcher is what it is.

      what you’ll find if you push this area of psychic research far enough is that the only conclusion is that we’re supposed to kamakazi every one of our beanis posting accounts into the rest of hexbear at maximum velocity.

      I’m not saying its wrong, it’s just kind of radical.

        Imma be real, this is too advanced badposting for me. I don’t even understand what you’re saying, but I agree. Nothing bad has ever come from kamikazi-ing.
