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

It takes me 5 minutes to set up my $100 popup tent which seems to be made of more sturdy material.

You know you can just buy a regular tent right?

Sleeping in something other than the $3,000 tent is not an option.

You buy the type of handmade tents they use to climb Mt. Everest for less than the cyber tent. It's such an amazing scam. Almost gotta hand it to 'em.

For $3000 I could buy a whole top tier camping set that would last me several decades. Outside of "you can sleep on Mount Everest", I can't imagine what functionality a $3000 tent could include that a $300 tent lacks. This is better than them selling the spare tyre as a $1250 add-on which takes up half the truck bed and has been out of stock for weeks: https://shop.tesla.com/product/cybertruck-spare-tire-_-tool-kit

how did I not hear about this one zizek-joy

And you'd better hope it comes back in stock soon because the entire wheel snaps off if you turn on a crazy incline like this: https://i.redd.it/pqd0topik07d1.jpeg

I've paid $160 for a tent that we once used to fix my mother's volvo's transmission because it was raining and the car fit into the tent

The repair took less time than this guy's attempt

But you can "Engage Tent Mode on your vehicle's touchscreen for an enhanced camping experience"!

100%. I don't think I've spent more than $2K, let alone $3K on my family's current camping gear from tent to cooler and everything in between.
