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

That’s the saddest part of this. If it was like 3-5 minutes I’d say, okay this is just some conservative rage bait content farm using ChatGPT and one of those three AI voices that every content farm channel uses. But, 47 minutes, yeah that’s not content farm, that’s sad sack rambling.

Browsing through YouTube news channels is like browsing the magazines at a grocery store checkout. There’s some legitimate stuff mixed with obvious tabloids and a disturbing number of people can’t tell which is which.

Fuck it, I'm voting for Bat Boy.

When googs removed the old "tech Hippocratic oath" of "do no harm," they were already too far gone.

Now they just harm, but on the bright side, a few people got rich, which is really good.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Just yapping:

I stare at this thumbnail trying to put myself in another perspective where I can understand the aesthetic appeal of this thumbnail. Just can’t do it. I at least get why someone like Trump could be appealing, I can understand that headspace and stretch my brain in that way. But no matter how hard I try, Laura and Elon just continue to look really cringe here. The Kamala shop is kinda funny though ig.

Do you suppose they’re collectively constipating one increasingly large turd, or does it have a fixed size with increasing density?

Looks like AI. Unhinged right-wing art has really taken a nosedive since "AI" started being a thing.
