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

I grew up on a small dairy farm as well until I was about ten. We lost the barn to a fire and switched to grain/beef farming, my parents have always said our "stomach flus" became way less common once we stopped drinking raw milk.

Also this is an individualized view of health, raw milk should be illegal to consume as it increases the risk for all immunocompromised people in our society (which there's a lot more of these days due to COVID).

Yeah can’t argue with your anecdote, though it doesn’t match mine.

I also agree that raw milk shouldn’t be sold to the public as it’s a dangerous gamble, and capitalism dictates that its production will tend to be more dangerous than less.
