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

Yah I was wondering about this the other day in a different thread. What happens to places like Las Vegas or Phoenix that are already insanely hot? Do they just become ghost towns? You won't be able to go outside if those areas all turn into Death Valley. Humans can only survive about 10 minutes in 120°F. What happens when it's 150° or higher?

Even if people plan on going underground during the day, I dunno how above-ground infrastructure will do. I think you start running into other problems like buildings warping or water evaporating through glass.
