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

How long until libertarian-approaching just tweets the 14 words then replies "๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚" to everyone calling him a Nazi

Real talk why are those emojis only ever used by complete tools

They do it to show how not mad they are

Because the people that want to tell the world "I AM NOT FULL OF RAGE I AM ACTUALLY LAUGHING AT EVERYTHING I AM A COOL DUDE" tend to be boomers or gen-x junior boomers that never stopped chasing the South Park "not caring makes you cool" dragon.

It's either just genuine people who type "lol" or "haha" and ๐Ÿคฃ comes up so they hit it (me sometimes, as a non-boomer boomer).

Or Adolf Hitler incarnate

Really nothing in between

I'm probably the only sane person using them for what they mean: laughter. Guess I'll go back to ''Hahaha'', cause I never got used to ''lol'' or ''lmao''.

[โ€“] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You could bring back rofl or lmfao. Or perhaps annoy everyone by actually typing and saying out loud "roflcopter"

[โ€“] The_Filthy_Commie@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hahahaha, the ''roflcopter'', I'd forgotten that one.
