It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Think of the advancements and innovations which could have come from China over the last 70 years but haven't

OH MY FUCKING GOD SHUT UP

Just because your stupid ass doesn't read about out on BBC or Forbes, or whatever the fuck rag you read doesn't suddenly change reality. I resent these people, and the worst part is I have to deal with them IRL, and they are always so fucking wrong and so sure of themselves. Always with their bullshit on how "free" and "enlightened" they are, unlike those poor, but also very evil, and scheming [slur] [slur] [slur] who live stuck in an echochamber devoid of the joys of life.

If only those "white mans burden" fuckers could stop existing suddenly I'd be over the moon.

EDIT: Also this person ought to be employed by a fucking cinema. That is some powerful projecting.

A few months ago they used genetic engineering to cure a guys diabetes, meanwhile we just keep innovating new ways to give people diabetes

I've gone through some lists of biotech patents and China is also by far the most advanced player in the skin and flesh transplant game. They've even worked out how to essentially drain the DNA from pig heart valves, leaving an empty extracellular matrix that can be recolonized by donor cells and made transplantable. Now they're starting to replicate these neutral matrices with 3d printing. Practically every single research paper I can find from the last ten years on cellular reprogramming, rejuvenation and age reversal includes a Zhang or a Zhao in the authors section.
