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 funny thing is the aesthetic and safe option is steam punk copper rails/handles/surfaces everyetc.

Copper kill bacteria and cleans itself. But it's not used due to costs.

we could have had copper steampunk hospitals but we can't, because of woke

You're disregarding the psychological damage of being in a steampunk hospital

"Oh no, that looks like one of them new steampu-"

Cringe

I wake up, the nurses and doctors are there to greet me and they get to about "G'day most distinguished gentlem-" before I turn off my own life support

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 24 points 5 months ago (1 children)

G'day

I, too, would euthanize myself if I woke up suddenly in Australia

If you don't do it, the kangaroos, drop bears, or clock spiders will do it for you.

The tarnish is often seen as unsanitary, though it's not, and unsightly, so the upkeep can be a lot.
In fact a lot of brass and copper decorative fixtures are clear coated to prevent oxidation, but then they also prevent the antiseptic properties of the metal as well.

Tarnished, return to the hospital, and become Isolation Ward!

Nosocomial infections are a really big deal in hospitals too. I wouldn't depend on copper alone to kill bacteria; how well does it deal with getting bleached down?

For the OP, if some snot-nosed child wiped his hand on the giant greenery wall, the bacteria flourished on the wall, then the AC brought a bunch of germs into an area for the immunocompromised then you're not gonna have a good time
