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

You don't live 2400 hours at a stretch with your roommate with zero breaks or outtimes, bro. I doubt you can even live with your SO that long without going out once. Even those in jail get to go out of the room every day.

IIRC there is a popular folk tale about this. A king was exasperated with his princess who got down bad for some peasant, so he locked both of them together in a room for a month and when they came out both of them had nothing but abject hatred towards each other.

I would have 0 problem with living like this, it's called "ignore each other" lol

I remember an anecdote from The Expanse books. A crew of some ship were stuck in a room in some kind of emergency situation for months. When they were rescued, a handful of them formed lasting marriages, and the rest never spoke to each other again
