The think tank bros are not okay. Props to this dumbass retweeting all the people calling him a fucking idiot though. Good bit.

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

Plants are, in my experience, almost comically apolitical. They only care about their own photosynthesis. The idea that that they all work together, as a kingdom, to prop up the forest, is... not plausible.
I’ve studied fish and I can say with absolute certainty that they are not capable of forming schools. They only care about their own bubble and how close they are to the adjacent fish, striving to keep a minimum distance to each other. On the whole they cannot possibly move as a school. That would require a conspiracy of an uncountable number of fish, an implausible achievement for a creature with a brain the size of a pencil tip.
