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

It doesn't tell you directly how to cook epic meme drugs like based Walter White and it doesn't print N-words on command.

Elon posted a grok example that was like "How do I make cocaine?"

And the bot went on a long thing like "Go to university get a chemistry degree, make cocaine, hope you dont get blown up. JK just kidding I dont want you to get in trouble with the DEA so I wont tell you ;)"

Treated it like the funniest thing he'd ever seen.

He genuinely did think that was funny. His sense of humor is Facebook memes that are only barely above angry minion tier.

I also wouldn't be surprised if that image was fake and he'd written it himself.

A lot of gen-xers, especially affluent ones, are just junior boomers.

my-hero is like the prince of boomer brain, from the naive technology fetishization to the rage against "wokeness."

There are people that are so narcissistic that their idea of the funniest thing out there is something that they have already internally decided agrees with their attitude and worldview. It's a sort of internal clapter detector and any laughter about it is performative; they only seek validation and repetition.

They're disturbing to be around.
