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'm so confused, like were there not always street vendors or is it just that it's fruit, do they just hate tajin, seriously wtf does this mean

If I had to guess it's likely some racist brainworms relating fruit street vendors with Latin American countries, unlike the checks notes all other non-ethnic street vendors like hot dogs or halal carts.

[โ€“] Rojo27@hexbear.net 47 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably some transplant pretending to a concerned New Yorker. Fruit stands have always been a thing in NYC and almost always belong to people of color.

Moves to one of the few cultured, decent spots in Amerikkka

"Yo WTF!? Where's the tater tots! I DEMAND A RIGHT TO IGNORANCE!"

Ma'am, if you're wealthy enough to move to NYC and hate its superior culture, please move back to the boonies and let someone who actually wants to flee the boonies have a chance at living there.

What are we supposed to be mad about? Lmao

[โ€“] whatup@hexbear.net 51 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

She should be in favor of this. Literally the only argument against the stalls is that the owners donโ€™t have the right permits, but conservatives fucking hate bureaucracy. What happened to the small business owner love?

[โ€“] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 47 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I refuse to get a Twitter account but I do want to see the replies so I guess I'll just imagine people racistly agreeing

[โ€“] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah, she got destroyed in the replies, some of the worst ratios I've ever seen

"I'm sick of commies voting for socialists who allow fruit carts"

Ma'am the current mayor of NYC is a fascist cop.

[โ€“] Parent@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But he's black so chuds will say he's woke/DEI.

[โ€“] barrbaric@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

Smh even the fascist cops have gone woke.

There's two types of New York politicians: Republicans and Republicans smart enough to call themselves Democrats.

Maybe cw for the r slur, but also lmao Lola is coping so hard here.

[โ€“] axont@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

Conservatives oscillate hard between claiming the things they hate are minor annoyances or the complete end of all civilization

Yeah ok lady you're not afraid of the fruit stalls. Then what, you think it's fine they're doing great replacement by selling apples covered in tajin?

Conservative women are some of the most cringe types out there, real moms for liberty type losers who think George Soros is following them home from seeing the sound of freedom.

Any street food that doesnโ€™t make me either constipated or shit myself is deeply un-Amerikkkan and an attack on our culture alex-oopsie

i've been to one specific minor city in mexico before, and when i saw the street fruit vendors, my only thought was "unlike america, this is actually an urban area for human beings"

[โ€“] Spongebobsquarejuche@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I miss living a place with the fruit cart (Tajin plz), the ice cream truck, and the elote cart. Random grandmas selling tamales out of a stroller.

Standing right there, turn until you see a pile of trash bags and take a picture of that instead. There's your legitimate gripe with Manhattan.

[โ€“] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 46 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Finally in 2024, New York seems to have unlocked "garbage cans" on the tech tree. There are hardly any giant piles of trash bags that cover entire swaths of the sidewalk anymore.

[โ€“] Moonworm@hexbear.net 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Folks, the garbage has gone woke.

I remember once walking through a Midwestern city eating a bell pepper like an apple. I got some honest glares from strangers.

[โ€“] DyingOfDeBordom@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

eating a bell pepper like an apple

jesse-wtf

[โ€“] assyrian@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago

sorry but they were right

[โ€“] Smeagolicious@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

The midwest has got some serious brainworms, it also seems like bell pepper haters are the majority here

[โ€“] BlueMagaChud@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As long as it's a ripe yellow, orange, or red one I'm ok with that, but I abhor the unripe green ones, may as well eat grass

My nephew ate 1 (ONE) fruit and he died five minutes later. Still think "vegan" is cool?

[โ€“] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would love some fruit card around town. I would buy fruit from them and eat those fruit. Fruit is good. It's nature's candy

[โ€“] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This.

Take the driedmangopill and you will never need to buy any corn syrup slop again.

Do we really need 10 stands of the same shit?

Unfortunately, I saw a video of an LA fruit stand that sold fruit with chsmoy. The secret is in whitey's hands now.

[โ€“] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh god, we're gonna get another Tajรญn commercial where a middle class white lady extols the virtue of Tajรญn

But for chamoy
