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

Hey now, don't say that! Seeing that the guy is British, he most likely wants to expand his world...by having his country copy America!

(Unironically, watching Britain's Americanization has been horrifying.)

watching Britain's Americanization has been horrifying

and funny, because you get a lot of American-isms introduced into the language because of TV/internet. It's also occurring all over the Angloid countries, especially countries like Australia and NZ. I guess the main downside is the awful politics has become more awful because they've imported the "culture war" nonsense.

Privatisation of water treatment has done wonders to help England on the way to not having clean drinking water. The old infrastructure they’ve been coasting on is starting to fall apart now. Love all that raw sewage straight into water systems.

But at least some people made money, and isn’t that what it is all about after all?

But His Majesty's government graciously allows you to take 20 cubic meters of filthy river water per day! How could you possibly need more? /s

(this is apparently what "abstraction allowance" is)
