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

british curses are always fun. cursing in my native language feels like crimes against humanity compared to this.

The worst swear word in my second language is pōkokohua. It means boiled head. Your head is sacred, so turning it into poop is the worst thing you could do to someone. Basically take all their mana (authority, public standing, it's hard to explain fully in English) and turn it into shit.

Where I'm from we've got "glatnakke" which means "slippery neck". It basically just means dickhead.

I'm rewatching an old movie series from my country and one of the characters has some fantastic curses.
Dog-headed, unimaginative, impotent porridge farmer. Fleabitten amateurs, perverted shitspreaders.
My favorite I've learned of his is probably "no-good klamphugger" (doesn't have a translation, but its a slur for a poor worksman. Like it just means poor worksman, but it's a slur).
