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

Your hatred sustains her. It’s literally the last shred of her relevance.

[–] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 40 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What if she intentionally never visited the rust belt states because it was all a ruse to feed her humiliation fetish

[–] sir_this_is_a_wendys@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are people who can't feel shame capable of humiliation fetishes?

[–] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She only seems like she can't feel shame because she's built up a tolerance over the years. That's why she needed to a bigger dose (losing to our big wet boy).

Bill trying to cheer her up on a rainy day: "what if I took another mistress? Two mistresses? I'm trying here, honey."

Putin made her lose sweetie

This photo is Donald Trump proving himself to be a true ally of the Blind by demonstrating that he isn't afraid to join their ranks, he's done more than Crooked Hillary ever did for the disabled ah tell yew hwat

"I will be the U.S. first female president" hillgasm

"I actually will become the first blind person to lead America" trump-anguish

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

clowning on Trump for looking at the sun when he didn't actually go blind just comes off as pathetic. like, in MAGA evangelical consciousness, he beat the pagans' god in a staring contest, and the thing that they said would happen didn't happen.

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

he's still dumb as fuck tho and it's definitely very funny that he did that

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's especially funny of you watch the video he looks at the sun with the glasses, takes them off, you hear somebody in the front row yell "don't do it" and then he looks at the sun.

And he beat Hillary Clinton in a national election.

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

He thinks the noise from wind turbines causes cancer

He's one of the absolute dumbest people alive lmao

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Pretty sure that's one of the things he doesn't actually believe but he knows people are stupid enough to give him a pass on that. He hates windmills because somebody wanted to put some up in view of his golf course and he hated that so he just makes up literally anything like saying they cause cancer.

Similar to how he's suddenly really concerned with animal wildlife when he keeps insisting turbines are actually just giant bird blenders.

Or he could just actually believe that like you said he's one of the dumbest people on earth and who knows how far the degenerative brain disease has gotten and how many of his own delusions he actually believes now.

[–] Xx_Aru_xX@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

And the pagans keep denying it, some biblical shit

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

Yeah the guy who handily defeated you and has so far escaped any and all consequences for wrongdoing sure is a dumbass, this definitely makes you look good

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

I hope there's an afterlife. I really do. I don't even care if Hillary uses her networking skills to avoid hell and she gets a nice fat DC-sized cloud in heaven just for her. If she continues to exist and that existence stretches out to infinity - she'll be big mad all that time forever about 2016.

[–] FumpyAer@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

Existence is hell to a ~~Meeseeks~~ failed Clinton.

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

There's Trump branded property in Hillary's headhillary-apartment

She's so petty. Are they all like this?

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Is that real though?

I don't try it out of superstition but kinda seems like a myth that an eclipse will perma blind you. I can see it momentarily blinding you, as looking at the Sun normally does, but how would it actually have the power to totally blind you based off only direct eye contact?

I kinda feel like if that were true, then people would be generally temporarily or even perma blinded just by being exposed to the event itself. Just walking around outside or whatever.

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Totality is safe to look at. Otherwise the sun will still blind you just as it normally would. People need an extra reminder about not staring directly into the sun when there's a solar eclipse coming up.

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So, basically, it's just to stop people from staring directly at the sun for 15 minutes while they wait to see totality?

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

Yup, and for anyone not in the path of totality.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I thought there was something about the sun being occluded but the corona still putting out dangerous amounts of UV?

[–] fox@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah, the sun is safe to look at during totality. At any other point, even 1% of sunlight getting past, look away or use eclipse glasses because you're going to get a sunburn on your retinas otherwise.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

Neat, thanks. : )

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's basically the normal level of "don't look at the sun idiot" except on a day that everyone will be intentionally staring at the sun

There is a bit of added danger in that also everything will be dimmer making your eyes more dilated and allowing more light in. Especially if you are looking through dark eclipse glasses then immediately look at the sun

But yeah glancing at the sun once or twice is fine

Intentionally looking up at it like this though not so much lmao

[–] FumpyAer@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

A few glances up at the sun isn't gonna immediately blind you, but any direct viewing outside of totality does put you at risk of macular degeneration, and I assume other illnesses I'm not aware of later in life.

I'm not a doctor though.

Nah I like this one. The libs can have a good post once in a while as a treat.

[–] theposterformerlyknownasgood@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Wow this guy who beat me up is such a fucking weakling

[–] Des@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

every time she "dunks" on him she is but dunking on herself

it's actually embarrassing to watch; like that secondhand embarrassment that makes you want to turn off the TV and hide under a blanket

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

This shit always reminds me of pro-wrestling, Killary over here burying Trump on mic and got absolutely demolished in the actual match. So who is the fucking loser here?

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

She's right and literally the only one who could've predicted it.
