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

This has the same energy as Paul Krugman saying inflation doesn't exist if you simply ignore the cost of food, clothing, shelter, fuel, utilities, and transportation.

I still don't know what the fuck is left to Paul Krugman after that. puzzled

Did you ever consider... having a phone is greater luxury than being a medieval king? smuglord

Having all the knowledge of the world in my pocket, so that I know that I am well and truly fucked. Truly a blessing from m'lord. you-are-a-serf

Enchanted rocks screaming about you being trapped in the belly of a dying beast this-is-fine

you-are-a-serf traded my soul to the Devil for a magic talisman that tells me to kill myself

I'm gonna keep myself warm with the thought that peasants didn't know the luxury of flavor blasted cool ranch doritos.

They couldn't even imagine mountains of plastic trash that sticks around decades after its manufacture, all in the shape of teenage mutant ninja turtles that love pizza.

Exactly my thought. You're supposed to adjust for irrelevant variables.
