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

my understanding is that he wasn't ever even a vegetarian, even in wartime when his health was declining. on top of all the evidence of liver dumplings privately being his favorite treat, the hitlerites who created this public image in the first place of him being a vegetarian ascetic also made sure to include winking admissions that he still indulged in an occasional sausage or pigeon like any down-to-earth german. so even the propaganda that spawned this myth treated it as kind of a sometime lifestyle thing

Liver dumplings

No wonder he had to go to the doctor for severe flatulence

I believe there was a short period of self inflicted acute health deterioration in which he was vegan, and was eating lead instead of animal products.
