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

I feel like there should be a word for realizing the world is 3D is unique ways. I've expressed this feeling when moving furniture, when doing engineering designing, and a few others, and now with regards to geography. It's this mindblowing feeling that the 2D simplifications we often use and are so used to just remove so much possibility when you reach the edge of what's possible. Draw a line on a map and this seems ridiculous but imagine a sphere and it becomes readily apparent. Try to move a cabinet through a door without utilizing all 3 angles and it becomes apparent. Dimensional readjustment or something

Seems pretty dialectical actually in some way I can't put my finger on
