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

SALT you fucking idiots! it's so crazy that everybody is mad about the suggestion that it needs spices when they left out fucking SALT. have you had slices of grocery store tomato without salt??? have you had bocconcini or fresh mozzarella or similar kind of cheese without salt??? like i PUT pepper and i PUT olive oil on it, what more do these people want?

maybe dont completely fuck up the dish by leaving out SALT and you won't have people being like "this sucks, why doesn't it taste like anything" like sure adding cumin isn't a good solution but at least they recognize that there's no flavour.

instead its used as an opportunity to be defensive about being white on reddit

FUCK you

FUCK these people

"Everyone keeps complaining that this salad I made with skim milk mozzarella and hothoused beefsteak tomatoes that have been functionally bred into styrofoam for ease of transport and covered in a watery-ass excuse for balsamic vinegar doesn't taste like anything."

Buddy you picked something that has three ingredients in it, I wonder if the quality of those three ingredients might make or break the recipe.

don't forget the store brand "olive" oil

[–] CA0311@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

by the way, a "traditional" caprese salad is tomato, basil, bocconcini, olive oil, and SALT. sure balsalmic vinegar tastes good with that stuff, it's common to add it, but it's like adding ketchup to unsalted french fries except worse. everyone like "UH IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE "SIMPLE" AND "DELICATE"" when they left out one of the five ingredients. AAAAA

A caprese salad is like the laziest possible thing you could bring to a potluck and still plausibly claim to have "cooked." You don't get to complain how people react to it

Salt, fats, and sugar are the pathways which flavor travels

Salt, fat, acid, heat!

I was actually quoting 'Reese' from 'Malcolm in the Middle'.

That show still hold up? I thought about giving it a shot again. Haven't seen it since I was a kid

[–] FanonFan@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

Holds up better than most

caprese salad is trash 99% of the time anyways

flavorless ass cheese, usually flavorless ass tomatoes, and the basil can't make up for it

[–] Spongebobsquarejuche@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You really can only pull it off with heirloom tomatoes. Like some dank ass messy Zebra's.

[–] LeninsBeard@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Beefsteak tomatoes though yim yum

I'll go downvote em for ya

Edit: I'm back. Jesus Christ redditors are insufferable. I don't know why, but I hate, hate, HATE when people call some normal food "fuckin delicious". I'm not a prude, and don't hate the swear, but there's just something soooo reddit-logo about the juxtaposition of the top swear word and a three syllable word for good. Somehow, "fucking yummy" or "fucking good" don't trigger me

[–] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What if they mix it up? Does "de-fucking-licious" work better or just make you implode with rage?

[–] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

I think it's my inability to realize that the people on the other side of the computer aren't just the most annoying composite my brain can come up with.

[–] regul@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago
