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 can't wrap their head around per capita statistics and it's fucking maddening.

Also, middle class people have this weird tendency of thinking some random poor person is just gonna impulsively mug and kill them in the streets. Meanwhile most violent crime (e.g. like 90% of murders) are perpetrated by someone you know

It’s funny how when you call them out on this they revert to rhetoric they would normally call feels over reals/sjw speak in other contexts “stop trying to use numbers to ignore peoples lived experiences blah blah blah”

Being able to take public transport instead of driving probably increases your expected lifespan by at least half a year statistically.
