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

hills or mountains

Switzerland famous for not having trains

Also, as if digging through hills and mountains has ever been an issue since the invention of dynamite.

Fuck the US even figured it out

Americal railways are in such shit condition and so poorly used, that 'figured it out' may be a bit too much.

America is so trash at building trains that they needed the Chinese to do it even back in the 1800s

Prior to World War II, we had it figured out. The destruction of "it" was an intentional political project (insert comparison maps of a major city's trolley lines in 1921 compared to 2021 here).
