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

The replies are hilarious michael-laugh, so many blue checks saying "abandon big tech!" while they pay for Twitter from the richest fascist in the world.

Imagine being one of the wealthiest people on the planet but so desperate to feel oppressed that you do performative outrage over an app's in-built editor giving you conversion notes for commonly used systems of measurement.

I would be willing to bet metric is the most widely used system of measurement lol what a fucking dork

It's literally only the US and Myanmar that don't officially use metric, and even in the US, the military and space industry uses metric.

Yup. Well, and most scientific fields. Imperial measurements were a mistake
