Comm request: the_dunk_court (hexbear.net)

Per @[email protected]'s suggestion in the thread announcing the closure of the tank comms I am suggesting a replacement comm

The concept of the comm is that it would be exactly the same as the_dunk_tank but without the unfortunate racist connotations of the name. Also, the name actually describes the content that is intended for it. Not sure why we made it any more complicated than that in the first place. Also, you can post things like articles from The Atlantic, which are also notable, and not just stuff about famous people.

Also, we should just go ahead and unlock Dredge_Tank

c/the_trough is a good one. I love the idea of having a place for all us hogs to get our slop.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago

Ooh yes!

c/the_burn_ward

I'm making a second appeal for c/the_burn_pit

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I feel like that would also have some bad connotations. Something to do with mass graves or something

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burn_pit

Sorry for the natopedia link but it is a reference to an actual US/NATO environmental atrocity of throwing all refuse into pits and burning them. Unlike “burn ward” where you heal people of their burns, the burn pit is a place where you actually burn what you want to get rid of but the burning of such refuse is also poisoning the one who burns it. So it also acknowledges the latent toxicity that I think forms part of the reason of this current proposal.
