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

Why does it read from the bottom?

Some McGee consultant must have thought that this is what people read as they go up the stairs, but normal people have their heads up when walking up the stairs, and English reads from top to bottom. This is complete dyslexic gaslighting and my OCD is personally offended.

I've seen this sort of thing in a few places, like campuses and government buildings, especially if they were designed in the last few decades. It's definitely the work of "intellectual" urban planners trying to disorient us and make it seem like we are upside down, so we inevitably fall down the stairs trying to read it. I myself have tumbled down many stairs this way, once even spilling nacho cheese on my favorite call of duty shirt. They are robbing us of our vital nacho fluids as part of their liberal communist plot to embarrass me in front of my mom

Don't disparage a person with a legitimate degree in urban planning, someone with an MBA (Master of Business Administration) designed this
