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

Couldn't be worse this one. Can't believe it's real. Pelosi then made a speech about cooking dosa with Kamala Harris.

I hate to uhm actually but Drogon is named after Daenerys's late husband Khal Drogo.

The SV enjoyer in the show version, right?

That's still about the silliest fantasy fiction name I've heard since Panis Rhal.

I didn't even know that one; most of my lore absorption was from involuntary osmosis from Gamboheads around me for years and media oversaturation in publications and online. I guess between those two silly names all I can say is

Yeah, he's the self-insert neckbeard not-Samwise-Gamgee character's little brother. I'm surprised that they didn't change his name in the show to something more American-friendly, like Pennis. dennis

...which is exactly what they did with Hodor. His real name in the books is Walder, but in the show it's "Wylis" so that burgerbrains wouldn't get confused and think he was David Bradley's character, I guess.
