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

I know it's just the typical denial from non-vegans, but it really surprises me to see such extreme pushback on the idea that we could make vegan catfood. I used to be really skeptical years ago (before I was even a communist), but learning that we already synthesize the meat-exclusive nutrients cats need to add it to normal cat food evaporated most of that previous skeptcism pretty much immediately. I honestly think 1 study is enough in this case and more rigorous studies should just be done on vegan cat food brands to ensure they're being honest (because god knows it would be impossible to get 99% of governments to actually step in and properly regulate it cause they dont even really do that for normal petfoods)

(for clarity I am not vegan but I do consider myself a vegan sympathizer if that makes any sense at all)
