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

He proclaims he'll get stuff to Mars and Presto! there will be a city of millions of people.

I think he's in the same gravity well of freeze-gamer credulity that his cult followers are also in, where landing on Mars is the Epic Science Victory, show completion score, roll credits, and everything after that can be dismissed until it happens.

Imagine Elon had a detailed 10,000 people Mars starter city plan that he made public to much fanfare.

He sort of did: it was a picture of a Texas-style mega highway with fucking cars, but with a red background. cringe

Texas-style mega highway with fucking cars

That sounds about right. Who needs stuff like food, air, and protection from deadly radiation when you've got a car that you're gonna drive to... Wait a minute. Drive to where exactly?

Carbrain is a helluva drug.

Much like the rest of "singularity" power fantasies, there's often a drought of actual imagination and the core of the vision is some idealized 1950s shit, but with more chrome and glass and living forever with superpowers.

"Cars on Mars" sounds like an Onion headline.
