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

reminder that the pilgrims were so smelly and ugly the natives thought they were absolutely disgusting

And the pilgrims had to keep building walls around their settlements so their "trad wives" wouldn't sneak off in the middle of the night and go and join the nearby native societies that would treat them like people and not like baby factories.

I would love to see a source on this. No really. Being able to shove this as a fact in specific people's faces would make my whole decade. Please have a legitimate source.

Send me a PM so I remember to check out a source. My "source" at the moment is a cracked.com article circa 2008 or so, so I'm not 100% sure what source they used.

cracked was great, After Hours was probably the best webseries, glad Cody and Katy found success post site blowup.

cracked is the reason i'm here today 07

Really did help me question a lot of what I just kind of took for granted when I was younger, even it if did get very focused on ads masquerading as articles by the end.

there isn't really a definitive source but throughout colonial history in America this was a thing and it was even commented on by people like Ben Franklin
