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

Anyone who uses "you need to touch grass" not as a form of sympathy, but as a means of just trying to win an internet argument is so absurdly terminally online that the expression loses all meaning. Someone smugly saying "touch grass" like this is so out of touch with reality that they don't need to touch grass themselves so much as they need to smash their computer with a brick, rip off all their clothes and wander off into the woods to live amongst the wildlife for the rest of their days.

It's mostly used to try to shut down and dismiss people. It's used as the latest version of old thought-terminating cliches such as "get a life" "get a job" "u need 2 get laid" "get help" and "who hurt you?" smuglord

Nice response. I see they're too embarrassed to respond. That or they are hulking out into full fascist mode and will come back guns blazing
