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

I would love to see a source on this. No really. Being able to shove this as a fact in specific people's faces would make my whole decade. Please have a legitimate source.

Send me a PM so I remember to check out a source. My "source" at the moment is a cracked.com article circa 2008 or so, so I'm not 100% sure what source they used.

cracked was great, After Hours was probably the best webseries, glad Cody and Katy found success post site blowup.

Really did help me question a lot of what I just kind of took for granted when I was younger, even it if did get very focused on ads masquerading as articles by the end.

there isn't really a definitive source but throughout colonial history in America this was a thing and it was even commented on by people like Ben Franklin
