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 have been into the Titanic my whole life. I was going to have a point here, but I just realized most of you would meet me and be like "wtf?"

What about the Titanic is it that intrigues you so?

Another lifelong Tiranic dork here. It’s a combination of the dramatic/poignant stories and the Edwardian technology/decor. I also realized following it for so many decades taught me a lot about scientific inquiry and historiography.

There are just so many stories. Accounts from passengers, and the people who built it. The craftsmanship and attention to detail, the way it changed the world at the time...

There's just so many interesting angles. I also like the "old timey-ness" of it
