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

Party leader doubling down on it:

Leave it to the libertarians to decry kids eating quinoa and sushi as extravagant while they feast on the finest imported American brainworms.

You're brain wormed if you think any food is "woke", more so if you think sushi fits that category - its literally raw meat, I thought you guys loved that barbaric "eat raw meat" caveman shit.

Hummus??? Hummus is woke???? Didn't the Israelis love it so much, they tried to claim it as their own?

We're doing "do you condemn hummus?" now? I've literally been saying that as a joke to my partner for the last few months (cause I'm lame and repeat jokes constantly) lmao.

When it evokes images of the occupation it's a wondrous exotic food, when it evokes images of Arabs it's an eeeeeeevil food.

You can literally taste the Khummus.

us-foreign-policy What country did you say it came from?

I don't wanna be a food nerd and/or weeb, but no meat is necessary for it to qualify as sushi. The only things required are vinegared rice, nori (dried seaweed), and maybe a third ingredient that's usually vegetables or seafood. The seafood doesn't even need to be raw, like smoked salmon and tempura shrimp are very common sushi ingredients. The main thing that makes it sushi is the rice.

True, I guess I'm referring more to sashimi. Sushi is kinda treated as a catch-all in American parlance, just like sake.

Fun fact: sake just means "booze" in Japanese. It is a catchall. Bud light is sake hahaha

Still? I'm Canadian and I think everyone post silent generation understood sushi and sashimi were different things by 2010. I'm vegan and eat a LOT of sushi.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I think so, but maybe I'm too old and out of touch now edgeworth-shrug

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago

I also have been a cook forever and generally if I'm talking about food it's with people who know what's what. So there's that too. Could go either way

It's raw meat often served to you by a man holding what's basically a sword. Bad ass shit when you think about it.

Fish is woke because to catch it I have to sit in a small, cramped boat with my best friend and whenever I see him wipe his sweaty cheeks I want to caress them and give him a kiss and that’s a sin against Jesus

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago

Fish is effete because it has looser muscle fibers and a more delicate flavor, also it doesn't count as meat because of Christianity.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 6 months ago (1 children)

forget quinoa, couscous, and hummus

powercry-2 foreign sounding food is scary scared

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago

I wonder if this guy has confused internal screeching when he thinks of pizza or spaghetti, food any conservative enjoys but from a foreign country (and I know it's arguable as these two have histories that probably had aspects of them first be developed in other nations; regardless, those places aren't America).

Money printing idea: make a bunch of shitty packaged food and call it "anti-woke" and say dumb shit about snowflake millennials and 5G in your ads.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 6 months ago

I mean that's literally the selling point of that chud coffee brand that invited Rittenhouse over.

Anti woke apocalypse survival bunker buckets for $99.99

And it's just loaves of bread and a bag of beef jerky and a pack of gum

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That's the sad/hilarious part; you can sell any useless/dangerous thing you want to (certain) people as long as you package it as anti-woke.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Anti woke gun defeat woke with this gun

The gun: gun-hubris

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I saw a video of a guy (not necessarily a chud) who stuck a stick under the trunk door of his cybertruck claiming this initial test would prove how safe the trunk door was; it snaps, and he still sticks his finger under the trunk door and gets it broken.

People would absolutely buy this gun and think it works as advertised.

If I had any porky spirit in me, I would sell "historical" meal kits of SS soldier rations to CHUD families.

"Tired of woke food? Want to eat like a real, big, bad man? Start your meal kit subscription to Goebbel up! You and your family will eat REAL food for REAL men!"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Lol, they do make "Doomsday prepper" food buckets that you can buy that costs way more than the shitty food in them. They are essentially MRE kits. I know we are all riffing on the idea but like, there really is a market for it I think. At this point in my life, I'm all for a "grift and go" on stupid food buckets if others wanna get on board too.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 6 months ago

We're not feeding your kids cheaper food, we're feeding them down to earth folksy food!

[–] [email protected] 31 points 6 months ago (1 children)

frothingfash whoah whoah whoah this guy wants to feed my kids FRUIT?? GO BACK TO CALIFORNIA WITH THAT SHIT

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago

Fruits are botanically the seed-bearing parts of a plant. Literally the plant equivalent of gargling balls.

Hummus is Hamas.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Quinoa, couscous, and hummus are all incredibly simple to prepare in bulk and are really cheap but ok

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago

So is sushi rice, for that matter. Maybe they just object to fish?

There has been 0 instances of conservatives doing “more” with less money, especially when it comes to the nutrition of children.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 6 months ago
[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 months ago (2 children)

and it won't be woke fruits, like satsumas or kiwi fruits they force you to eat in DEI neighborhoods

good pious conservative fruits like apples and oranges only

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago

The sweet orange, Citrus x sinensis,[10] is not a wild fruit, but arose in domestication in East Asia. It originated in a region encompassing Southern China, Northeast India,[11] and Myanmar.[12]

Central Asia is generally considered the center of origin for apples due to the genetic variability in specimens there.[24]

Lol. Lmao, even.
