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

Secondary science sources are often shit.

I read the primary source awhile ago and the methods in the paper aren't very practical or effective unless you have very hard water in your area. It can be built up on and improved, but better alternatives exist for most people.

Use a reverse osmosis system if you are really worried about it.

reverse osmosis

That's where you put an empty book under your pillow at night to fill it with everything you learned in school right?

Yes, this is it exactly. Though if you put a dense-enough book under your pillow, you can also absorb the contents to your brain. I suggest sleeping directly in the book as the cover acts as a permeable barrier.

It's all about shifting an equilibrium in the desired direction.
