Curiosity over mockery
This is a place to learn about and celebrate unexpected outcomes, not to dunk on the people involved. If your post or comment could be summarized as “look how stupid this was,” it doesn’t belong here.
Context matters
When sharing a failure try to explain why it was believed that it might would work.
Focus on the lesson
What did this failure reveal that was important or literally just beautiful? About technology, systems, human behavior, or assumptions? Posts without insight may be removed.
Cite when possible
Sources aren’t mandatory, but they’re encouraged—especially for technical, historical, or scientific claims.
Keep it human
Personal or creative failures are welcome, but make sure any lessons are broadly useful. Trauma dumping or self-promotion isn’t for this space. This may get your post removed.
Disagree thoughtfully
Challenge ideas, not people.
No culture-war posts or rage bait
If the post exists mainly to inflame, it will be removed.
