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

For those that missed that context, St. E~L~O~N said, during the circus fire on Xitter on Monday with trump-anguish , that climate change would involve... headaches. And that's bad but not really that bad. And that deregulating nuclear power plants would help with the imminent additional carbon burden that the LLM treat printers (such as his own) will demand while further burning the planet down, adding more headaches. this-is-fine

I just noticed the old :DebatePervert: emoji seems to be gone, but I was going to use it while saying I nonetheless had critical support this one time for debatebro-l because St. E~L~O~N does a lot of self inflicted damage to his public image each time he tries to say something smart without handlers polishing it up first.

Bonus treat-printer treat of the bearer of the very smart finger nail:

He's genuinely repulsive. No wonder his kids disowned his ass

Wait I thought climate change was a chinese hoax?

That conversation just sounded like your conservative uncle who doesn't know anything going on one of his silly rants.

Ugh, I feel second-hand embarrassment from this shitty retort.

This reminds me of the time I heard someone with an engineering degree say "If climate change is man made, how did the ice age end? smuglord"

I read somewhere that people with engineering degrees have a significantly higher chance of being creationists. galaxy-brain

Compared to the general population, probably not. But if creationists argue “well here’s this scientist saying creationism is true,” it’s almost always an engineer they’re talking about.

I should have clarified: significantly higher chance of being creationists compared to other otherwise-respected high academia fields.

I've heard dying of dehydration due to aridification would cause a pretty large headache.
