trade-offer proposing a business venture: we create a machine that harvests the electrical waves in the brain of poor people when they’re sleeping, so that way we can inject dreams of labor and harvest the electricity generated from said dream labor. We prevent them from being lazy by keeping them productive 24/7, and they provide a useful service to the world facing climate change and high energy costs due to current events in Europe.

Of course, we’re not like the orientals and their sweat shops. The poor would be compensated 50 cents for every hour they sleep.

If the labor dream injection is unsuccessful, we will either inject nightmares to harvest the adrenaline (also 50 cents an hour of sleep) or deduct compensation for the entire sleep session - the poor would choose which option suits their needs more.

Anyway, that’s my elevator pitch. Thoughts? I’m schedule to meet with JD Vance on Wednesday to ask for seed money.

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
