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

Killed by one of the most Jewish of snacks
How ironic
Halva isn't Jewish, it's levant Arabian especially Lebanese and Palestinians.
Ah, I always got it from the Jewish deli I got lunch at
My mistake
It's fine, common misconception. Like saying couscous is "Israeli" when the Amazigh invented it.
I think people get confused on that one because of "Israeli" couscous or ptitim, which is actually different food. It's a pasta product created by Nestle during the 1950s. Basically like acini di pepe but toasted.
It sucks ass and is basically a Great Depression food from the austerity era following WWII.
It'd be funnier if he died from corned beef or dill herring
Choked to death on one of those giant pastrami sandwiches
Honestly I associate halva most with the Caucasus but that's only because of that one Shamkhan Daldayev song
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
To be fair, halva is common all over the Arab/Turkish Mediterranean too, I used to buy it to my Turkish goods dealer.
