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

"People of Lemmy, I dare you to name ONE billionaire that's done anything good." Guess what the comments are like before looking inside! (hexbear.net)

Elon Musk got me to stop using Twitter.

sicko-yes

What? They're greedy humans who are doing things that have terrible consequences out of selfishness, not mustache twirling cartoon villains out to destroy the world for destruction's sake. I'm sure every single billionaire in the world has done something good at some point.

lenin-sure

All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one. Romans 3:12

You're right. There's no billionaire who has done good. But there's also no human who has done good either.

Some sort of weird combination of "God and anime at my side" fundie weeb for that one, complete with a special level of pop nihilistic misanthropy that probably has Supply Side Jesus characteristics pathetic

Mark Cuban is a bit of a wall street asshole, but he’s created a drug company to slash the prices of generic drugs for Americans

Elon Musk. Without him, electric cars wouldn't be the almost-mainstream thing they are today. We also would be a decade behind on space launch.

bootlicker (WTF does "space launch" mean to that bazinga? Space was launched into generations ago. Unless this is some techbro hopium singularity babbling about THE MISSION (tm) which will be forever vague because it's just tweets from my-hero showing boomer highways on Mars)
