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

Reminds me of Kurt Vonneguts player piano where the only professions that couldn't be replaced where barbers, bartender and the guys maintaining the machines that replaced everyone else

Lol bartender. They can't truly be replaced but they will be replaced with a shitty glorified vending machine

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

That's what they tried in the book, and it didn't work. The story follows an engineer that doesn't understand why he couldn't replace bartenders. Other stuff happens too, but that's sorta host starting point
