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

Your fun fact of the day is that the ground clearance on most Soviet-era tanks is about 50cm.
Why is that fedposting?
Turns out, a person can fit under a tank and not get crushed unless they decide to throw themselves at the tracks.
Interesting, innit?
Well I could be wrong, in which case I'm really putting the shit in shitposting, but it felt kind of
to call attention to how big of an object a T-54's hull could roll over, in the context of a US army recruitment video featuring the Tiananmen Square Tank Man video. Now, a tank rolls over stuff with its treads, so the ground clearance doesn't necessarily imply anything about allegedly grinding student protestors into the pavement, but in this context I'm not sure what else it's supposed to imply. Maybe they should clarify.
Edit: Ah, ok, I read their other comment. Guess they're not fedposting.....?
yeah I took it as the opposite, but I wasn't sure
