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

Yeah, because the Algerians just famously sat around and waited for the French to leave, and even if they fought, not like they were in any actual danger.

Yeah the French totally left all on their own, and this love of the freedom fighters is comparable to American conservatives.

That thread is a ~~gold~~ crap mine of dunk tank posts.

Does anyone else get the vibe that Reddit is just a bunch of gen x and older millennials? Like I keep seeing the most caustically stupid takes and satanic racism on that site, which doesn't necessarily mean that younger people can't be among those groups, but still.

Like the combination of deeply unserious and uncalibrated takes, abused and overused memes, and racism/-phobias just scream 35-50s.

Compared to TikTok, the environment and posts are just SO MUCH different.

It was originally all wealthy tech-bros and that has absolutely shaped the userbase to this day.
