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

even if the many-worlds hypothesis was correct, there's currently no reason to believe that your consciousness in this universe would be contiguous with your consciousness in any other 'adjacent' universes. quantum immortality is about as convincing as pascal's wager lol. get better at epistemological nihilism tech-ghouls your unhinged assumptions are hilariously obvious.
Of course it's bullshit wishful thinking from bazingas afraid of death but wanting some of that religious escapism anyway.
For similar reasons they feverishly pretend that cyber-heaven awaits... and more clownishly, cyber-hell courtesy of "Rok0's Bas!lisk" which is way scarier than old fashioned hell because there will be thousands, millions, billions, or maybe infinite perfect copies of the unworthy dead there, and because dae le copy is le exactly the same as the original person because hand-wavium reasons, it's like suffering in hell thousands, millions, billions, or maybe infinite times over! I don't know if that means all the perfect copies have telepathy with each other or whatever bullshit is at play, but they believe it, lol.
I'm so fucking glad I don't venture out of Hexbear anymore.
