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

"Dump and resell the bottles"

Dump and resell... bottles... of water.

How does that even work??? Are they talking about the 10 cent bottle deposit???

Huh????

Wouldn't it be a better idea to buy a pack of water and sell the individual bottles??

Oh wait homeless people dum dum according to this person.

Easier to convert SNAP $ to real $. No one is gonna buy bottled water from a homeless person

With the amount of effort required to do that it would be easier to just dig through the garbage.

Digging through garbage doesn’t seem low effort. Getting free cases of water is way easier.

I think this is aside the point of the OP.

I feel like they're be way easier ways to scam EBT for cash than that. Like buy steaks at Costco and sell them out of a cooler in your trunk.

This sounds a lot like my plan to convert $4000 in Amazon cash into actual cash by buying and reselling graphics cards lmao.

It’s why formula is behind lock and key. It probably has the highest returns when sold in the grey market.

It makes sense if you assume a dime bag costs a dime
