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

Yeah you should see some of the crap billboards idiots buy in the south, I saw one on vacation that just said something like "What happened to personal responsibility? Let's bring it back!"
There used to be a big one on a nearly barren highway outside of my hometown that just said "Jesus hates abortions!" And it had a stock image of Jesus that still had some kind of watermark on it
America sure is a country

That could describe any place in the Midwest lmao
woag, really makes you think
Back during the whole “labor shortage” bs a couple years back, I saw one outside of atlanta that said:
HELP AMERICA WORK

It's still hilarious that no one along the whole chain designing, printing, and installing that billboard noticed the obvious spelling mistake.
it's not the job of the people who sell and maintain the ad space to tell the customer that their ad is stupid
To be fair, it's probably a good sign that you have some easy money on your hands
Hi, this is Bob from Bob's Billboards. I'm afraid there must have been some sort of mix-up. We received a photograph of a pig with feces on its...
They might be playing 4D chess and thinking spelling it phonetically is the only way to keep it comprehensible to the hogs who are driving right by.
Probably misspelled it to get dems to share it.
Yep the reverse Nigerian Prince email
Alright, I'm being a pedant, but how is "dimensia" any more phonetic than "dementia"? If anything "dimensia" is less phonetic since all the common -sia words are pronounced /-ʒə/ and all the common -tia words are pronounced /-ʃə/. The "dimensia" spelling is influenced by "dimension", but that's not strictly the same as being phonetic.
I guess what I meant is the -sh sound is likely to be known across more reading levels than the -tia sound because it comes up earlier in reading education. The first spelling, when sounded out, more readily reproduces "dementia" as the remedial reader has heard it ambiently
"Your going to the camps!"
"Um actually it's spelled *you're heh, owned MAGA"
Honestly more power to people who spell words "wrong". Generally the best way to have a successful spelling reform is to look for common misspellings and make them a part of the standard.
Prescriptivists shidding and farding and crying rn
Grocery should have 2 c's. 😡
Grocery should be spelled grossery with grossiery as a variant spelling, such that it's clearer that the word is related to "gross"

No, it's dimensia. Biden'a connection with the third dimension is wearing down and soon he will exist solely as a shadow on the Oval Office walls
