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

There's some older work, specifically Heston, C., Fleischer, R., et al (1973) building off of Harrison, H. (1966) that looks at the disastrous societal consequences the unintended side effects that these food security policies can produce.
That is such a good joke.
I feel dumb I'm missing it
Sounds like an academic article, yet when you search for it online you get websites about Soylent Green, as Charlton Heston is an actor playing in that movie. Itself is a classic that is sometimes labeled as eco-dystopia for its use of recycling people into food :soylent-green:
Which of course is a dystopia that is reality in many ways already in capitalism without generating much outcry. What is the difference of a person after their death being converted to food on one hand and people working to death on fields or factories or till their death within them?

Maybe it isn't such a good joke but a reference people like me recognize and feel nostalgic for the "time back then"? I found it quite funny at least cause of the contradiction of form and content. No need to feel dumb, you are not, and don't talk about my friend like that please
(unless you want to of course).
It's a new bit we're workshopping down at the lab.
