The state of modern search engines:

(It’s not Frankenstein)

It’s less the search engine and more because this specific page of the novel has likely never been digitized/copied into text since it is only 10 years old so search engines have no idea what the fuck we’re looking for.

Your DDG results are so broad because you didn’t use any search operators like " and Frankenstein, presumably because the entirety of the work is available, pops up because it uses the word ‘them’ a ton in Chapter 9.

This is a problem which has been solved already. It has probably been decades since search engines were so stupid that a longer query makes it less specific. This is a regression to like 90s level sophistication. To Google’s credit (begrudgingly) it does the right thing and returns zero results.

Create post

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
