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

Former employees of Cracked.com before the website got asploded by Facebook's "Pivot to Video" scam.
Ironically enough Cody made videos for Cracked, and so did Michael Swaim, Soren and the rest of the Cracked TV crew. They just decided to get rid of them for basically no reason.
IIRC they blew the budget on getting everyone to do videos, Facebook lied about their view numbers, and when they finally got their ad revenue it was so low they "had" to fire everyone and go to a skeleton crew.
That and cracked.com was bought by E.W. Scripps, who gutted it and resold it.
They weren't doing poorly on YouTube, even won a couple awards for original comedy. Scripps laid off like 20-30 full time staff, others like Soren Bowie and Michael Swaim left w/o being laid off, costs were cut and they were able to sell cracked to some other company.
