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

Political non-euclidean??? Are they a fucking sphere?
topologically speaking i think they're a torus
Aren't we all
I've thought about this a few times, but tbh I don't know enough about human anatomy to know! My main thing is, what about nostrils? Do nostrils increase the number of (topologically nontrivial) holes in a human? I think we can ignore the windpipe and lungs, there should be a homotopy removing them (I think). Same with eyeballs, vaginas, and whatnot. But nostrils? I think those might be topologically nontrivial.
Oh! I forgot about ears! Really, the whole sinus situation is complicated and I have no idea what's happening in our weird-ass skulls
The outer ear ends at the eardrum, so I don't think it's topologically significant either. That said, the nostrils and mouth absolutely connect, so you have at least three holes up there.
I think we have five topologically significant holes? Nostrils, mouth, anus, urethra. Nothing else is actually a hole.
mouth-anus is one hole. nostrils and mouth form like a Y shape and i don't know enough math to name that kind of system
Sorry, I should've said we have five significant orifices. You're right that mouth-anus is one hole.
How do eye sockets fit into this? Aren't there openings between the skull and outside, technically, even though intraocular muscles or whatever usually keep the eye in an airtight position in the socket?
Well, if we're saying that tissue blocking the way doesn't count, then we have a whooole lot of holes.
I was just making a joke about how many things are torus? Toruses? Tori?
Why have you been thinking about this

Nah I'm an Aquarius
How dare you?
Step one: assume the centrist is a perfect sphere in a perfect vacuum
Now calculate the volume of their ignorance using a triple integral in spherical coordinates
Based on my understanding there's like a 60% chance it's either 1 or 0.
Oh I can think of some centrists I'd like to put inside a perfect vacuum
Hyperbolic plane.
Infinitely dense
I think they mean they don’t identify themselves politically based on the political compass. Pretty nerdy way to say that, but it’s probably the most valid sentiment in that whole comment section.
that means they're a redditor
How else are they going to stick their head so far up their ass?
I all but guarantee that if that poster is old enough, they have a mostly-unread copy of Infinite Jest and a "Church of the Subgenius" sticker on an old laptop somewhere and think it's super cool to be vague and pretentious while not actually standing for anything but their own sense of superiority.
