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

That can sometimes work though
oh wow its real
Yeah, we do it a decent amount here, in one way or another
Remember that one dude in Australia who back-burned around his house and ended up the only intact structure for miles during the bad fires a few yeas ago?
Sometimes you also do it in urban environments, though normally you'd just chop down the surrounding houses. It's pretty wild.
High explosives are used to put out oil well fires. Not sure what the theory is there, though.
My guess would be the shockwave disperses the fuel and deprives it of oxygen, like blowing out a really really big candle.
The fire of the oppressed's desire for liberation cannot be starved as long as the oppression continues. The wildfire only finds purchase when it is not given more fuel.
