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

Wait can he seriously not find Israel on a map? Like even if you don't know where it is maps usually portray disputed borders lmao. Like look for a country with multiple internal regions demarked by dotted lines??
I'm never sure how precise the "Can you find this country on the map?" game is expecting you to be. Like, if you point at Lebanon by mistake, is that disqualifying? Or are people just giving up and saying "Idk"? Are they pointing to Latvia and getting confused?
But if you handed me a world map, I doubt I'd be able to pick out Israel as "a country with multiple internal regions" because the resolution probably isn't going to give me that info.
Honestly I've always wanted somebody to spring one of those "find a country" tests on me. I'm quite good a geography, I may not be a 100% correct but if you asked me where Botswana was I'd know it's just north of South Africa.
I think it would be funny if the guy who did the best on the geography test was also a massive commie.
Edit: also fyi there are online geography tests where you can to guess the location of a place and it measures how close you go in kilometers so the farther off you got the worse your score is. So if you picked Lebanon when asked where Israel is you'd still score okay.
I don't know, some of these countries are pretty hard to find:
I selected them all and am rotating them in my head rn
