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

Bro back in the 90s my car would be blanketed in dead bug guts even from a short drive. Now its pristine after a long trip. We are devastating everything

This one is very noticeable, and the decline in flying insect population has been staggering.

On the other hand, here where I live, there are now bitting mosquitos almost all year round instead of just the summer

hadn't ever considered the decline of bugs on the windshield, but you're absolutely correct

ugh driving in the summer used to be fucking gross at times, but I genuinely don't remember the last time a huge fat bug splattered on my windshield 🤔

HOLY SHIT!! it has a wikipedia article?!?

The sounds of birds have also diminished. Now the forests are mostly quiet.
