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

Wait a moment. Is heroin actually safe or am I too drunk and tired to get the irony?
Edit: ok I am too drunk and tired to get the irony. DON'T DO HEROIN KIDS!!!
Heroin is not safe.
No, the point is the danger of calling safe things dangerous or, in this case, mild things spicy. Kids smoke pot, realize it's harmless and figure other drugs they've been warned about are also harmless, then end up ODing. The analogy is limited in that It's harder to make that leap from allegedly "spicy" food to things that can seriously fuck you up or even maybe kill you, but this kid did.
