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

No more cape shit once you hit 30. Do some praxis instead or read a good book.

Yeah, he did a bit of training because what else does he do besides chase tail and play baseball, but I don't think he was ever shown to make substantial progress, i.e. he didn't gain any new feats or even concrete statements by other characters testifying to being at least as strong as X.

I'm not convinced he could blow up the moon during the Saiyan Saga, but he surely can by Super just through sheer inflation. There is also the increasing aspect of the writers saying "fuck it" and giving characters power-ups that make literally no sense, with the recent Gohan one being the most absurdly egregious offender, so I'm sure that Yamcha could get to one-shotting-planets and well beyond in a single evening if it was more convenient for the plot (it just never will be because Yamcha is irrelevant), or just wish for it on the Dragon Balls and thereby get stronger than Golden Frieza, which apparently is a thing people can just do if the Dragon likes you enough to not have your wish kill you.
