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

Is the joke about the sun or something? I'm not a science guy. Here I thought it was just Bazinga to Bazinga communication.

It was a joke about the sun.

I admit I almost missed it until the talk about solar panels collecting the energy on Earth, but then again I don't proclaim myself to be the smartest man in the world and the world's authority on engineering or science.

He's going to pull a Mr. Burns and block out the sun so as to induce demand for his fake sun, even though he doesn't believe induced demand is a thing

He actually did say this 2015

“We have this handy fusion reactor in the sky called the sun. You don’t have to do anything. It just works. It shows up everyday and produces ridiculous amounts of power.”

Obviously over the last nine years his brain has turned to mush even more
