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

reactionaries are like an absurdist sketch comedy. It doesn't even matter what changes but as long as it changes they will get mad about it.

They're like little tiny babies who get scared and shid and barfe because daddy shaved his mustache off.

it's truly remarkable how stupid everything has become

[–] axont@hexbear.net 29 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

It was already stupid. 20 years ago they were complaining that Pokemon was a brainwashing plot. 50 years ago they were complaining about Beatles albums having backwards satanic messages. 100 years ago they were complaining about women riding bicycles. They were never intellectually serious at any point.

At one point Jazz presaged decadance and the corruption of the white man or whatever

That English breakfast looks horrible

[–] Daeraxa@lemmy.ml 42 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Its an awful representation, sausages have been incinerated and the bacon looks like it has been left under a warmer for a few hours.

[–] FloridaBoi@hexbear.net 20 points 5 months ago

Even by English standards that looks so bad

[–] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 15 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Even the mushrooms somehow look greasy and dry. Shit attempt.

[–] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 11 points 5 months ago

Honestly, seems pretty standard for someone who's proud enough of their full english to post it on social media. They're always some of the most disgusting plates of food you've ever seen.

I'm a highly educated expert in Breakfastology and that traditional English breakfast is racist.

[–] Saeculum@hexbear.net 5 points 5 months ago

Not nearly enough baked beans

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 47 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It's so embarrassing seeing the Americanization of the rest of the anglosphere.

In the 2000s I remember Amerikkka (rightfully so) being the laughingstock of the entire western world for being too CHUDDy, even for the west. Now it seems like everyone is in a bare-knuckled fight on who can be crowned the asshole nation of the world.

[–] hello_hello@hexbear.net 28 points 5 months ago

At least we will never have to hear about "nordic style socialism" in the future when austerity completes its Europe continental tour.

Shit was annoying.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 46 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It is woke and leftist to eat a fully balanced and healthy diet with a wide variety of foods.

[–] fox@hexbear.net 27 points 5 months ago

Nah you gotta shit yourself constantly, turn bright red, and die of heart failure in your fifties, that's the King's way

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 40 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Not just the Anglosphere, the entire "garden" has gone mad. In my country one of the libertarian party's top candidates for the EU elections is running a campaign based on paper straws being bad. The far right has politicised the consumption of pork as a kind of islamophobic "praxis" and a while back a big culture war issue here was whether or not preschools should be mandated to serve pork to children.

PS: It is cute that the chuds think school food programmes are so well-funded that they can afford woke food like sushi or quinoa.

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 15 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I had a paper straw recently and it was fine lmao

these snowflakes became the very thing they sought to destroy

these snowflakes became the very thing they sought to destroy

Seriously, I've seen thicker skin on soup.

[–] M68040@hexbear.net 33 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Ian't acting like sushi is some sort of cosmopolitan foreign devil food a really '80s/'90s thing?

[–] O__O@hexbear.net 17 points 5 months ago

Yes. All anti woke stuff originates from boomers who are still offended that they had to know about another country’s food or culture in the 80s

[–] Tommasi@hexbear.net 32 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Do they think the parents of most elementary school kids are like 75 years old?

[–] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 29 points 5 months ago

It's New Zealand so they're essentially still in the 90s.

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 28 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

The right wing melting down over woke food and gamers melting down over video game shrinking booba are two sides of the same "freaking out over treats" coin that unify the right wing.

[–] NoamParenti@hexbear.net 27 points 5 months ago

CW because Bri*ish, too

[–] iArtemis@hexbear.net 26 points 5 months ago (1 children)

how does someone whining about a paper lid even make the news i feel so bad for journalists sometimes

[–] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 30 points 5 months ago (2 children)

There was a NY Post article a couple weeks ago about a Zionist who claimed to be addicted to cheese and lost 50lbs with Ozempic.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 10 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

For a second there I thought you were going to say that the zionist thinks paper lids are now Khamas

[–] M68040@hexbear.net 9 points 5 months ago

Oh yeah, that came up on Minion Death Cult i think

[–] nothx@hexbear.net 25 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The only way an English breakfast would become woke is if they ate it prior to letting their dog eat it and shit it onto their plate. Seriously, if food is a universal language, then English breakfast is a slur.

[–] Blottergrass@hexbear.net 22 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Sad to say but I don't think there will be an anti-reactionary correction to this in time. I think this is the last wimper of "civilization" until the soil really does stop producing nutritionally dense crops.

[–] TheGyattsMustBeCrazy@hexbear.net 7 points 5 months ago (2 children)

how do you think it will play out from here on out?

[–] Blottergrass@hexbear.net 7 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

not well and i dont have any answers and I don't think i'll fare better than anyone else, if anything i'll be low resilience. There just seems to be a deeply low political will for those not already initiated. No Bernie successor and primitive accumulation of TPTB is accelerating exponentially. To sad to parse just sad enough to scream about it. Pathetic, I know I'm sorry. May god be real and be on our side. I live in Florida, man, I have nothing to actually offer.

[–] TheGyattsMustBeCrazy@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago

Damn, to be fair the DeSantis campaign proved that there is no appetite for reflexive culture war bullshit outside of a small base.

[–] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago

Record profits for insulin and semaglutide manufacturers.

Good nutrition is woke

Murdoch empire

[–] FloridaBoi@hexbear.net 14 points 5 months ago

I was in Savannah a few months ago and as I was walking through a square, a boomer woman behind me says to her friend “thank god they don’t charge extra for PLASTIC bags! I love Georgia because they have FULL QUALITY plastic bags!”

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 11 points 5 months ago

I remember when a Time Hortons removed tipping to spite a minimum wage increase in Canada.

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 10 points 5 months ago

They made a video game about this, i think thinking-about-it something about tadpoles

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 9 points 5 months ago

Death to the Anglosphere

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 7 points 5 months ago

I love that melt-in-your-mouth texture though

That's the worst full english breakfast I've seen in my life

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 3 points 5 months ago

What, you don’t like having charcoal briquettes for breakfast?
