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

the hell does "May their memories forever be blessings" mean?
the dead don't have memories.
is this a language thing or like an idiot trying to sound poetic thing?
By “memories” they mean “cum”
It's a Jewish thing that's said instead of rest in peace.

I'm surprised people didn't know this already, my impression was that this is a pretty well-known phrase.
what I don't know could just about squeeze into the Grand Canyon.
Probably supposed to mean 'may the memories their families have of them be cherished as blessings'
But nahhhhhhhhhhhh
The memory of a bunch of fascists having been denazified is a blessing indeed.
It’s a translation from a traditional Jewish (Hebrew) saying that is the most common thing to say when referring to someone who is deceased. You might also refer to a deceased person as “of blessed memory.”
Basically means that their families cherish the memories they have of the dead.
BTW I get the desire to dismiss the value IDF members have or ever had, but non-Zionist Jews also use this phrase, so it's worth understanding what it means.
