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

Country ass anti-cracker-aktion or not, "y'all" was desperately needed for the English language.

This is you’se erasure

Centuries ago English used to have "ye" for the second person plural pronoun, but I guess Anglo culture is fundamentally individualistic and makes even talking about stuff collectively an awkward experience.

berdly-actually "ye" was just a written-shorthand version of "the" until people read it the way it looked retroactively.

Yes and no. The ye in "ye olde shoppe" was "the" with the "thorn" character which looks kinda like a y if you write it fancy. The ye in "Hear ye, hear ye" was actually said as ye and was the second person plural.

I know it's more complicated than that especially because centuries of "ye" said as "yeeee" established a new precedent anyway.

I just wanted an excuse to use the berdly-actually emoji.

Hear Youse or hear y'all sound odd still
