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

The comment section is even worse, like this guy:

Haha holy shit the OP got banned from singularity over his fleshlight thing and went to cry on his own sub that he mods, that's dedicated to his fleshlight chatbot idea:

Not sure where the line is drawn for rule 8 now, but this manmade horror beyond our comprehension has 600 upvotes at 88% positive and almost 300 comments.

Okay, I have to confess that in a vacuum, I wouldn't consider this a big deal. Like yeah it's goofy to post this in a singularity forum, but humans have been using sex toys forever and I don't really see how this is qualitatively different from a dildo. Same idea, more elaborate tools. Honestly some of these comments veer a bit too close to fashy "look at this filthy sexual d-generate, this is proof that society is fallen" posting for my comfort.

But that comment he posted about attaching it to an AI based on Greta and the other stuff in the comments section is uhhhhhhhhhhh
