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

Same with going to go live on Mars and the moon and Jupiter’s moons, etc.
Like homies. We ain’t even brought civilization to our oceans or mountains right here on Earth, which are much closer and more hospitable.
You would think the next big bazinga thing would be seasteads and terraforming new islands and the like on Earth, but they blew right past that. China, Saudis and the gulf states are the only ones trying to do the terraforming sci-fi stuff.
Even Antarctica is far more habitable than Mars. It’s warmer (usually) and you can breathe the air.
and there's no shortage of fresh water, and you can re-supply quite cheaply (relatively)
They know they are killing it all here and they want to move on to killing the next thing.
even a completely "dead" and polluted Earth is 100 times more hospitable and easily repaired than trying to terraform Mars
