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

Putting milk in tea is popular in Taiwan, Tibet , Thailand and Hong Kong, (and Europe) whereas it's less so in most of China. So they made a hashtag about not being "mainland Chinese".

Imagine being proud of being A: lactose intolerant and B: putting milk in a beverage that didn't require milk.

Utter cringe

Milk Tea is an ethnic Mongol invention (an ethnicity no present in any of the "milk tea alliance" places and the majority of whom live on the mainland) and being lactose intolerant doesn't stop you from drinking milk tea.

Honestly, even if I weren't lactose intolerant, I am not tainting my 普洱, 乌龙 or 相片 with milk.

lactose intolerance is item #328472938472938472948273892375928712389079348723983498273489470278123978567293237856298374982374982347 in fake mayo shit, 80% of Japanese people can drink milk even though only 5% of them are lactose "tolerant"

that remaining 20% has a microbiome that reacts badly to milk (and this is changeable), but the vast, VAST majority of lactose "intolerant" people don't
