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

Okay.... so...

Looks like they found a large stockpile (or were burning off their own stockpile of) anti tank landmines.

They're pressure detonated (usually) so they took some blocks of C-4 and squished them up (which... reduces the chance of it detonating... don't do this) to fill the mine's fuse well after putting a overhand or maybe a cherry knot of Detonating cord in the mangled C-4 as a fuse to detonate the mine. The mines were hung up on the columns (maybe) load bearing sections of the buildings (facing the wrong way... also didn't look like they were trying for kicker charges... which... weird but I guess using them as shape charges yields only a marginal increase in effect for this purpose) and the individual mines were tied into line/ring mains. Then they were detonated from outside the building, which... looks like a school or classroom or something.

Maybe this would bring down the ceiling if the supports actually were knocked clear but definitely would make the roof weak enough to be very unsafe to use the building for anything.
