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
The bad news? Steve fucking Jobs still has a devoted postmortem following for no fucking reason except that people felt that cool with ipods and iphones while he was being an abusive asshole to everyone around him and stealing credit from people that actually made things. 
When have there ever been 1 billion Buddhists?
There's like half a billion now, so there's probably been a billion total cumulatively.
No that doesn't count, it's just the same souls over and over
I assumed 1B would have to revere simultaneously. Kind of like a Spirit Bomb situation.
ZYBERTRUKKK STANS, LEND ME YOUR LOVE OF THE TRUCKKK
Spirit bombs take energy from everything including inanimate objects too, which includes dead people.
Wow that's bs. Then why call it spirit bomb?
I think everything, including inanimate objects having spirits is a traditional Japanese belief
The bazinga devotee is wrong about many things, but let him cook.
Buddhism probably peaked in %age of the world population around 200BCE-1000CE, when it was spread across most of India and China. Like every religion it's probably peaking in absolute numbers either now, or sometime in the past half century, at about 500 million.
Super hard to estimate populations far back in time, but seems quite likely more than 1/8th of the world's population followed it at one time, at least.
