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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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

Russia has spent all of their budget on the war, so they can no longer afford podium stands and speakers have to hold them up themselves.

Putin won because he was the only candidate capable of a perfectly steady grip.

there's a thin black metal pole underneath it that's camouflaged by Putin's suit. You can see the contours of it if you squint

Replacing all your podiums with vending trays so that candidates can rove through the crowd and distribute snacks while speaking.

How much cooler would debates be if the prime minister handed you a pretzel during the boring speech about social system spending minutiae

Uhh actually when you give people a little treat for voting that's corruption or some liberal bullshit.
