DailyMail is bringing back the long debunked myth that people in North Korea must have government approved haircuts.

Lol, I remember when they invented this story years ago. The origin was literally a guy on Twitter seeing a picture from North Korea of one of those boards with different hairstyles at the barber that you can reference and just assuming that those were the only hairstyles that the government allowed.

That somehow generated multiple years of insane made up stories around hairstyles in North Korea, like there were stories claiming it was either forbidden or mandatory for men to get Kim Jong Un's signature cut, sometimes appearing in the same publication weeks apart.

For whatever reason they keep printing stories about North Korean haircuts, possibly becuase they are frivolous enough that they don't get any serious pushback despite how obviously absurd they are. Unlike other all-timer fake North Korea stories like nuclear testing creating zombies or their whole soccer team getting executed because they lost the World Cup.

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
