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

MODERATORS
Were they not labled as "18+" as they are here? Why the heck did a kid eat them, then?
well you see the child simply ignored the warnings on the packet because of being a child and making bad decisions
I have also heard of cases where children and teenagers have ignored restrictions saying they can't drink and smoke because they aren't 18
That stupid fucking cult of personal responsibility strikes again.
Well, then don't blame the company for the terminal stupidity of a teenager. Maybe blame the shop that sold the stuff, either for selling it to him, or not taking the necessary care about 18+ items, if he just stole it.
this was clearly a product marketted via tiktok challenges that's like taking out an add for cigarrettes in a spiderman comic
He was 14.
At 14, I guarantee you did stupid shit. And at 14, I'm sure you didn't expect the grocery store to sell you food with fatal amounts of capsaicin in it.
It was a dumb idea, sure, but he was a fucking child and likely didn't think it would be legitimately dangerous.
no child has ever ignored an age warning for any reason
that's why there are no kids on social media
