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

UK parliament has a "minister for leveling up" I know British politics is a work of self parody, but you have to understand all the ruling class's brains are cooked like Elon's is.

My life is like a bideo game

[–] Skeleton_Erisma@hexbear.net 24 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Trains, buses, and walkable spaces pal.

But don't let facts get in the way of a big brain bideo game narrative from a car salesman

Maybe he'd get on board if it were Cyberbus or Cybertrain and they all ran on proprietary systems that needed to have their licenses renewed and the cost of renewal could be astronomically hi...

I'm stepping away from the lathe now

"Just one more pod! Please I can solve traffic with one more pod, just one more pod, just a pod bro, give me your taxpayer money for the pod bro please"

~Melon musky, probably

Cybertrain

Didn't Tesla loudly bragged about something like that few weeks ago and it turned out to be a complete farce?

Glad to see the Gravel Institute kids soldiering on deng-salute

[–] Speaker@hexbear.net 12 points 4 weeks ago

I imagine they're the Gravel Institute adults, by now.

New bit: We get Americans to support public transportation if we called it "politically incorrect"

"I'm sorry guys, I know this isn't the most politically correct solution so please don't cancel me, I hate to admit it too, but I think trains and buses are the best way to solve traffic. Oh, you guys are getting mad at me for daring to suggest alternatives to the car? See, I told you it wasn't politically correct"

Cars are now woke dei.

Especially the loud ones.

A boss battle is literally an optional hardship taken up for fun and a little self-actualization, as a treat. The high beams of :projection: are blinding my eyes!

If only someone would invent a car that randomly immolates its driver

But the plane is a helicopter and the car is a cybertruck.

Do it, Elon, sir! It would be so epic bacon!

[–] TheaJo@hexbear.net 6 points 4 weeks ago
