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

It wasn't even one nine eleven jfc
they always meant per-capita. 0.00001% of the population or whatever
if you have 100 people in some group and one of them dies that's like 100 9/11s to that group.
or something. i'm tired and high so maybe don't take those numbers literally.
My grandma died, so i basically suffered 450,000 grandparent 9/11s
who are you starting a nine million year war with?
I've declared that cancer, dementia, heart disease, and stroke are the new axis of evil!
She actually died in a car crash but since our family owns a series of car dealerships I didn't want to get into all that.
By the way, checked the math, and even if that was your last grandparent, 100% of the population would be 94,882 9/11s.
Liberals would still use that 450,000 number anyways though
The actual numbers are worse than you thought:
2,996 deaths out of approx. 284,267,319 Americans = 0.00105%
1 death out of 100 people = 1%
This comes out to 948.8 9/11s
ah yeah i was off by a 10
Come on Hamas. Do better.
