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

It's a submarine, it's supposed to sink.

What if the setback was they were gonna carry out an underwater gommunism plot by heading to bazinga brain territory, then test weapons on a specific bazinga brain vessel? Their target it turns out was the billionaire sub that exploded on its own, so they went home before they could finish their assignment.

Why would a vertical crane cast a shadow in a different direction than an angled crane? Shadows always point in the same direction, obviously. smuglord The sneaky ccp must be up to something...

Lmao China do stupid can you believe their latest gen military technology is having trouble.

On an unrelated note anybody know if its supposed to rain anytime in the next week I was hoping to take my f35 out for a spin and didn't want to get my head chopped off by the canopy when I have to eject because it can't fly in anything other than perfect conditions.

reminds me of that headline "china uses sea to hide their submarines" or something like that

The comparatively poor quality of these images means it is difficult to conclude if the two previous events are connected in any way and - crucially - if they actually show a specific submarine at berth.

Oh good, we can cancel a submarine and use that money to build high density housing
