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

This is standard for companies like this. Caterpillar does this as well. Cat has prepped for this before and come very close to implementing it. Last time they did it, that I can remember, was in the 90's when the union went on strike. They don't just turn the engineers lose on the floor, they provide training and get them able to do production.

It's a contingency plan, and if it happens, it won't last very long.

John Deere also did this in 2021, and they managed to immediately crash a tractor on day 1

They'll get about an extra 4 hours of production before they have to replace an endmill or a tap, then everything after that will be scrap.

UPS was talking about doing this too
