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 like broccoli cos it tastes good and works well with lots of recipes as well as being good on its own.

I somewhat resent the adults in my childhood for not knowing how to cook vegetables, because I grew up thinking they were gross.

Same, I thought I hated broccoli but it turns out I just hate it the way my mom would cook it. Roast broccoli? Fucking delicious.

It's good grilled over charcoal too - the florets soak up the smoke flavor really nicely.

Or pan fried with other veggies.

Or breaded and fried/broiled/air fried.

I also kind of like eating them raw with tons of salt, with sticky white rice as a chaser.

Basically, boiled vegetables are a mistake most of the time lol

I like broccoli boiled also. Steamed is a no go though idk what it does but it ruins it completely.

Boiled broc with a knob of butter over it goes just fine.

Right? I cook so much broccoli for my family every week. Easily one of my favorite vegetables. Goes in so many cuisines fairly well, too.
