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

I've heard that saying twice now, once irl and now here.

Is this supposed to denigrate physicians? Bc it's no different than saying 50% of chefs suck at making food while 50% are great at cooking.

I use it to denigrate anyone who is the braggadocios types that think they are amazing just because of their profession.

I’ve used it to describe software engineers and lawyers as well.

Isn't it meant as a satire on disingenuous use of statistics?

What do you call someone who finishes last in their class in med school?

Doctor.
