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

Ladies just can't resist the tentacles panting

One of the best things about Europe is really the complete lack of disgusting and deadly poisunous insects, trees or anything like it. Can you hear me Australia?

We only have deadly mushrooms that kill you through stomach cramps and liver failure lol, but they're okay, just don't eat them.

[–] Krem@hexbear.net 33 points 1 year ago (2 children)

a continent made so boring by millennia of human "culture" that any wildlife only exists in small pockets like mountains and on the far edges like scandinavia. and the wildlife that does exist is stuff like "fox" "wild duck" "regular size deer" "snake but not venomous just a little snake" all the way up to the end boss "normal brown bear"

euros when they venture outside of schengen and hear of an animal that is not a fuzzy little fuzzball: 👎 gunther-fear

world 1-1 ass continent

Cope harder about not having to check your boots for deadly spiders before using them.

"Uh yes if I were to live in the Mario Video Game (TM) I'd want to live in the final boss level with giant balls of flame hurled around" <- Statements dreamt up by the absolutely deranged

[–] Krem@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

sorry but "euros can't handle deadly spiders" is the new "mayos can't handle spicy food" i don't make the rules

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

It's not so much "can't" as "won't" with regards to spiders

Europe

one might say incontinent

Don't worry the mosquitoes are coming back with all kinds of wacky diseases

[–] axont@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

"Don't worry about those weird pulsating tentacles, they're for sex" is not a sentence I ever thought I'd read

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why do you have to hate on moths? Moths are cute.

[–] DayOfDoom@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Not listening to anything from someone with the username SpiderFarmer.

I try to bring light, and love, and levity to this world. What have they brought into this world other than spiders?

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

spiders are love, spiders are levity, spiders are light itself hillary

This anti-bug bigotry cannot be allowed to continue.

[–] bumblebeehellbringer@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The bug is good and cool. Bugs need love too. The worst bug is miles better than the worst human. Bug supremacy <3

[–] DayOfDoom@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Convergent evolution of humans and bugs into parasitic creatures disproves this.

[–] bumblebeehellbringer@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Parasites are also better than the worst of humans. They just take a little food, not more than they need, and they let the host go about their life a lot of times.

I don't know what people are complaining about, this is just a rad little guy living a rad little life.

Look at it, amazing animal. Cool bug.

[–] GarfieldYaoi@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Hentai bug.

Hentai bug.

Wow, didn't even need to tell it to post hog.

[–] CrushKillDestroySwag@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Bit idea: everyone in the world can see the monsters from Bloodborne, but the liberal media just keeps producing documentaries about them to make them seem normal and fine.

[–] pooh@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

I think I saw an anime like this once.

"it's only a protein, eat it"

[–] tamagotchicowboy@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

Ngl I'm a fan of the color scheme

[–] the_itsb@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

I'm with you. I don't love the penis incense, I don't love the tentacle-fucking vibe, and honestly, I don't like the colors either. This guy looks sketchy.

[–] DayOfDoom@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

I've fallen behind the curtain of the universe. Into the six-dimensional insect plane. I fear there is no escape. The bugs are everywhere. Their in our food. They're on our beds. They're in the air. They're in the ground. The ignore my questions and answer only to the the big brainless bug progenitor, bugzuggoth.

[–] macabrett@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I found what's called a psuedoscorpion recently. Absolutely terrified me. Also apparently harmless. We trapped him with a cup and brought him outside where he likely wanted to be anyways.

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Never seen one of those, but to me it looks kind of hilarious

Like the front claws are so ridiculously large compared to the rest of the legs (and even it's body in some cases), and it's body structure is so round otherwise; it's like it stole the front claws from an actual scorpion and is just pretending to possess them

[–] macabrett@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah where it was initially was on top of a door frame so I kinda ONLY saw the claws. Though I had a scorpion in my house despite the fact there are no scorpions native to my area haha.

Kinda cute once we got him down. Like a muscle builder with stocky little body.

[–] Futterbinger@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

Aww, they're not so scary. Here's a video about a similar moth. https://youtu.be/QQlhGT2VMOQ?si=J91d0KQjcy3PpeCF

[–] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

should call it an echidna moth instead iykyk

I saw one of these dying in my driveway last night.

[–] rubpoll@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Oh no, I made a joke about summoning Baal for bigger titties and now these demon bugs are showing up.

Sorry everyone

[–] M68040@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Hey now, satanic indicia are cool

[–] Sephitard9001@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

In Tekken 7 there's an unintentionally fucking hilarious moment the title reminded me if.

Kazuya as the CEO of one of the most powerful corporations in the world is caught on camera and broadcasted on national news transforming into literally the Devil while fighting somebody so he used his devil laser to shoot down a satellite and blamed a rival corporation for downing their own satellite on a city and everybody has goldfish brain so this new shocking catastrophe caused everyone to forget that Kazuya is a real living capitalist satan
