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

so it's just junk spinning around in space soon with no more use to everyone?
I rarely downvote, but the actual Voyager probes are an inspirational story of real scientific triumph. I will not hear them smeared!
Somehow, the first thing we sent out of the solar system intentionally wasn't a conquering fleet, a self-aggrandizing tyrant/cult leader/gazillionaire, or a swarm of mining bots thirsty for lanthanides, but rather a sincere artifact of curiousity. We've kept it running long past its intended service life, and indeed the best-before date of many of its designers. It's a "Humanity, Fuck Yeah" story that's heartwarming instead of jingoistic.
My budget platform is "ask how much NASA wants each year, and put a zero behind it."
good point, Voyagers power systems are supposed to have at least another year which is more than most will say about musk
now now, thats still a million times more useful than elon
