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 something awfully sad about capitalist alienation

Capitalism will turn us all into lonely monkeys cuddling a rag-surrogate in between shifts at the skinner box

at least we can have a few laughs on the way out

I honestly don't think it's funny. An entire industry has been built out of human loneliness, selling Sims characters to people with no human connections.

It's more jokerfied laughter than "ha-ha" laughter

it's fucking adventure time, if I stop laughing. let me cope

adventure-time or minecraft ? Choose wisely

An entire industry has been built out of human lonelines

Westerners laugh at Japan for host and hostess clubs, then build shit like this app.

every single utterance is a confession, no exceptions
