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
"I bought a ZYBERTRUKKK because I care about the environment" excuses have never sounded more hollow.
Never forget the wealthy would happily fly an untested, unverified rocket directly into your house, killing you and your family generations over and then would go on TV and blame you for it.
they all literally want to get to act like Stockton Rush and his amazing imploding submersible company.
If they want to act like him they should also end like him.
should personally test every single rocket, i think.
If Musk wants to launch rockets so badly, we should tie him to a rocket and fire him at Tel Aviv.
I don't think it was ever about protecting the environment with the electric cars, more about owning the libs via king bazinga's racism.
I contend that early on before got particularly scratched, there were plenty of 
(and I lived near so many of them) wanted a performative gesture of their own "progressiveness," like what they already did by shopping at Whole Foods, and they wanted to (direct quote from offline person here) "save the planet and look cool while doing it." 
"save the planet and look cool while doing it."
Fuck the fish we've got rockets to launch 
Ruining one planet for the sake of fever dreams of colonizing a dead and poisonous planet. 
It's so gd stupid
What would be easier y'all terraforming Mars or abolishing capitalism and figuring out how to scrub CO2 from the atmosphere
I truly believe that bazinga billionaires and their sycophantic cultists generally have an unexamined belief, derived from their treats, that just landing on Mars is a "science victory" with a Hans Zimmer BWAAAAAAAAAM treatment and a credit roll that must be done for its own sake.
CNSA should land armed taikonauts in secret then ambush the first billionaire landing party for an impromptu interstellar struggle session
This is what I tell people. Like even the most climate change addled earth is immensely more habitable for humans than Mars is.
If we solve our problems here... Ya know by ending capitalism... Then we can start doing truly badass humanity spanning achievements. Terra forming mars? Why not give it a go once we've got everyone fed and housed here. Surely it'd be a cool project. But as a solution? Entirely foolish.
Facts. Even God the damn Antarctic or the sahara are more liveable on their worst days
Literally. The Sahara with 50 years of more climate change will be more habitable than 50 years of intensively terra forming the best parts of mars...
And yet the unrealistic thing is simply stopping climate change.
I'm reading the book A City on Mars: Can We Settle Space, Should We Settle Space, and Have We Really Thought this Through? Sheesh some things I haven't considered.
Your take is my take and I share it gladly.
Also if humanity actually does become interplanetary. What kind of precedent do we set with how we take care of our home planet? It creates a culture of hyperdisposability. Consoom all the resources on one planet, then hop off its carcass to the next.
Then we won’t exactly be “interplanetary” then, just us on one planet we haven’t ruined yet. And I’m saying this while humoring Elons initial delusions.
talked to a couple who has one of the first year Teslas, the battery has lost a good portion of its range capacity and they are worried they won't be able to resell it for much
This is going to be a problem with all electric vehicles, which makes it that much worse that we refuse to make anything affordable and we’ve essentially banned China from selling theirs here.
I love the hot-swap design where the batteries are modular and replaceable. "charging" is swapping your battery for a fully charged one. I read somewhere that some cities in China have been using this for transit buses
They have it for EVs as well
I've heard it's widespread for scooters and ebikes as well
it's in this video somebody posted here on Hexbear over the summer. these American dudes visited China and had their minds absolutely blown.
my husband and I just writhed in envy the whole time we watched it.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Are they one of those who bought a Tesla as "an investment?" If so: lol. lmao, even.
There was that one bazinga brain who sold a bunch of his stuff and bought a cybertruck for that reason, then had all the problems cybertrucks have had. Still loves the truck though.
i'm crying who came up with King Bazinga 
I might have, but I didn't come up with "bazinga brain" first. I just liked that and kept using it with modifications.
Bazinga brain is so good and has made it's way into my irl discourse
I wish I remember who said it first, or at least who said it where I saw it first. 
yeah I can't find any references to it earlier than like november 2021 (and that one was from you)
There's also this post which I'm assuming the deleted comments are referring to the Musk cameo on big bang theory?
Oh that takes me back.
My memory is foggy of that time but I do recall seeing "bazinga brain" and being like
It just makes it all the more puzzling why tf he wanted to be the Tesla guy at all? Shouldn’t someone like Elon Musk be disgusted at EVs because they don’t do emissions (and that’s uncool!)
I wish Trump loses just because it would annoy Muskrat
I will take some bittersweet comfort if 
wins and continues Blue MAGA because I assume it means eats shit. Unless there's just too much class solidarity and nothing happens and he keeps getting his subsidies.
Nothing will probably happen to him even if the Democrats do win 
I'm just so tired of this fucking idiot coasting from embarrassing failure to embarrassing failure without anything approaching real consequences while simultaneously just becoming more and more of a brazen Nazi
On the other hand I can't imagine how much more awful and insufferable he will be if Trump wins
I want to hope he eats shit, if only because he's said so much against already.
It's her election to lose, though. 
can clown all he likes and his cult remains steady in numbers.
Yea if dems win step one is gonna be giving him a billion dollars to "bridge the divide"
He will continue to post accounts called "HitlerLover1488" asking if she's actually fidel Castro with a boob job.
Nothing will happen
I just want to have one thing happen that gives me a hint of bittersweet satisfaction 
I do not think that this man should have a Fish license. I also do not think he should have a Meat license, a Vegetable license, a Fruit license or any alternative way to get nutrition.
Another great example of how if somebodynis complaining about "ridiculous regualtions" it's because they want to break those regulations.
"Why the fuck do I need a permit from the fish people" - person who keeps shooting exploding rockets full of rocket fuel into the gulf of Mexico
Everyone’s all “law and order” until we come across one of the few remaining laws that apply to elitist white men. Suddenly it’s all “legality =/= morality”
