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 [email protected]

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

Wow I’m tired, time to pay $10 for a scoop of ice cream before I go home

But an AI robot will scoop the ice cream automatically!!! Isn't it great how they don't even have to confront how much of their lifestyle is built off the backs of highly exploited low wage labor, even domestically?

I saw a coffee truck where the coffee was prepared by a robotic arm, but there was still a guy in the truck operating it. I was like, can't he just pour it??? Where does the robot come in???

I saw a video of a robotic bartender in Vegas. It was a table-size machine that would mix a cocktail off a select menu for you. Did it more slowly and clumsily than even the most novice human bartender, less selection than a human, unable to deviate from its recipe (hope you don't like your martini extra dry), and more expensive cocktail in the end.

who is asking for this shit

edit ESPECIALLY in a bartender, like half your job is to be a shoulder for your drunken patrons to cry on, or a charming personality to make them forget their troubles
