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 once saw a homeless use the $20 I gave him to invest in bitcoin buy a pack of smokes instead.
It's me, I'm out there converting EBT to drug money at an exchange rate of 6%.
Hell yeah I got $12 this month
a couple more months of this rise-and-grind and you'll be able to afford 1 entire drug.
Shouldnt it be a honeless mans right to do with his water bottles and money as he pleases?
nah, property rights don't extend to poor people.
One of the all-time cumtown bits to be sure
Is that a real cumtown bit?
No but it's uncannily believable as one
I have seen far too many people on Reddit argue that beggars and benefits recipients are literally richer than the average person because of the huuuuge income.
The "welfare cliff" I've seen discussed academically is actually focused on single mothers who lose much of their benefits when seeking employment, and must now pay for childcare, making the prospect a net loss for mother to enter the workforce after getting onto welfare benefits.
