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

MODERATORS
They were for plenty of gen Xers. An early boomer having kids in their mid 20s would have made a mid to late gen X.
I wouldn't call that "plenty"; that's an edge case at best
Early boomer and mid 20s are hardly edge cases. The generation is called "boomers" because of the baby boom that happened at the very beginning of the generation, and mid 20s is honestly late when it comes to boomers having kids. My grandmother had all 6 of her kids while she was the same age as or younger than I (early zoomer) am now with no kids.
Yeah, boomer is the largest cohort, 1946-1964. The oldest boomer having a child at 22 puts them at 1968. The oldest boomer having a child under 18 would have another boomer. It’s in no way an edge case.
