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
They already make cybernetic ears that don't have ads
Edit: In actuality, the real concern (and this has happened) are proprietary implants that no longer work once a company goes under.
Yeah but it's because those are primitive and barely work so there is no technical possiblity to do that yet.. I meant something like the sophisticated stuff known from sci-fi. Imagine walking the street and suddenly you heard the white noise because dude walking beside you played copyrighted music from his phone, then you both get fined for copyright violations.
You know, like they are totally trying to do right now for computers.
More science fantasy than fiction. That's part of the joke in it all. Not enough deaf people to make real bionic ears profitable. You'll see them in Cuba or Vietnam long before they reach stateside.
and they won't have ads or any of that bs until the US begins meddling
There was also the real life case of a company going under and repossessing the cybernetic implant, forcing them to go back into surgery
