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

I know they exist for ear infections, no idea what the purpose would be outside that though. Putting q-tips in their ears is probably safer than our ears? The problem in our ears is that it tends to just shove wax deeper and compact it and if you keep doing that it means you just block your ear with a bunch of wax. Dog ears are much wider so I figure it's less likely you run into that problem.

Still probably not particularly useful.

I dunno what dog ears look like inside, but wouldn't you run the risk of smashing their ear drums? And then giving them swimmer's ear/hearing loss.

But even if not, it's probably not worth doing anyways yeah

I mean I guess you run that risk in the same sense that you run the risk of cutting their paw pads when trimming fur or poking them in the eye with the funny lil brush

But with a dog this chill I seriously doubt it's likely
