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

Hot take: all apples suck, shittiest fruit good only for turning into something that makes you drunk, be that cider or mixer.

EDIT: I will happily die on this hill as long as you don't plant an apple tree on it

That downvote is from me, even if you can't see it 😡

Impressive, you managed to post a wrong opinion

I like Granny Smiths and Galas. They're like candy but not as bad for you I-was-saying

Their skin gets stuck in your teeth and even the juicy ones have this mealy texture underneath

Apples are good for baking, brewing and blowing chunks.

and making an ill advised pipe

and throwing you would be surprised how hard you can throw an apple

I will fight you over this, apples are top tier fruit. Too many other fruits rely on a subtle colour change to tell you the 5 minute window when they're ripe (I'm looking at you bananas and pears)

Apples meanwhile are easy, you look at it and you know it's terrible to eat

Bah, I've lost count of the fruit I've wasted because colourblindess makes it almost impossible to pick good fruit. Apples are consistent, delicious, and by far the best choice in my situation.

Also fruits are bourgeois decadence anyway, real proletarians live off root vegetables and local forage
