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 [email protected]

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

Has King written anything good lately? Even by Steven King standards which is pretty mid usually anyway? He should cut it out. Free some shelf space for someone else who hasn't written so many books that having a full collection is worse than getting all.the korok seeds in Zelda.

I'm sure he wrote something about a haunted Zune that tries to kill you by playing uptempo music to increase your heart rate to dangerous levels. In 2022.

Edit: He also showed up in the YouTube comments section on a video of George Lynch doing "Mr. Scary" with his solo band a few years ago, which was probably the least insufferable thing that King has written in a while.

Edit 2: ~~I can't find the comment; I swear I saw it back in 2022. He might have deleted it one of the times that he was temporarily bullied off of YouTube.~~ It's the pinned comment from "@chaosmusician" and it's a different Stephen King. lmao

Edit 3: There was also this:

The Zune that Makes You Listen to Grindcore Until It Kills You sounds kinda dope
