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

The fact that Trump was the funniest president doesn't mean he was a good president
Bush jr. had it for a while. I lost my shit when he admitted he pirated the beetles songs on the news when he talked about his iPod.
Yeah, he had some bangers
please tell me a recording of this is somewhere. I found this but no mention of piracy so must be another clip out there
Oh dude your gonna make me find this. It was towards the end of his presidency. Pirates were the only ones that recognized it because it was unreleased Beatles songs.
Edit: it was infact a longer version of this where Bush Jr. calls one of the secret service agents "dude". E.g. "can you get me my iPod dude."
Edit 2: here's a more reliable source then "trust me bro" https://cyberlaw.stanford.edu/blog/2006/05/beatles-gw-bush-and-apple-computer
OH i totally forgot that Beatles songs weren't licensed for itunes and stuff at the time. Hilarious.
Yeah I forgot too. I think I kind of oversold it but it was still funny with online communities. I remembered people saying if, "Bush can pirate music I can too."
Watch this drive
No you see, because we say the Democrats suck shit because they're also right wing, that means we're MAGA Republicans receiving trolling instructions from the GOP because we didn't name Trump specifically.
Why we would support the GOP after making it clear that right wing is an insult is not clear to me. That's for the liberals to know and for you to find out I guess because you know they're never going to effectively articulate how
Yeah but very few people under 35 have any idea who he is.
I do but only because I'm a huge fan of Civ 4 and wondered who tf that guy who was at the bottom of the scoreboard was
Fun fact: Dan Quayle was at the bottom even in the original Civilization 1, most likely because he was the current VP back then when the game came out and he was hot topic of jokes.
I remember playing it around 1993, way before internet in Poland and i assumed he was some british comedian, because his name sounds like british comedian.
The moment I learned who he is and realized you could climb the ladder that far without knowing how to spell “potato” was a key part of my jokerfication
