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

"Sweet Caroline" is legit the most straight people song I can think of. Like, there are other songs (like Eminem's entire oeuvre) that may be more appreciated by specific sub-demographics, but in terms of wide-ranging straight (white) appeal, it's got to be hard to beat Sweet Caroline.
there are like three songs that every single person in a straight, white club of any variety will know the words to: "All the Small Things," "Mr Brightside," and "Sweet Caroline." ok there are more than that, but watching a lot of hammered undergrads screaming along to all three in a row at the end of a night was formative.
Whelp I had never listened to Mr Brightside until reading your comment so I can’t be that straight and white.
You are seriously downplaying how much Mr.Brightside could make a room of white non-cishet millenials come unglued
I genuinely am, and you can only try to stop me (i'm white non-cishet people with a softspot for mr brightside, plz don't come at me)
Mr. Brightside kills at silent disco
Hey two of those are known by gay white people too
Honestly I don't think I've ever heard the original version of "Sweet Caroline" in full, I swear I have only ever heard other people referencing it
Edit: honestly pretty good, I liked it well enough
I think every baseball stadium is contractually obligated to play it once per game.
It's what they do at the 7th Inning Stretch at Fenway Park in Boston
It's good as a chanting, sing along song, but not as a dancing song.
