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.

The physicist says “I believe I can calculate the precise height from which we could drop the can where the force would be just enough to weaken it. From there, I can build a sort of tourniquet from vines that will gently pop open the top.”
The chemist then says “That may work. But I’ve been observing the various chemical reactions going on in that cave over there. I believe I could gather just the right mix of chemicals in there that would dissolve the can lid enough for us to get the beans out. Yet none of these chemicals would be toxic to us.”
Finally, the economist chimes in “Okay… assume we have a can opener…”
