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

I could see ritual cannibalism being a funerary rite. Gotta watch out for dem prions though.
I ran a DnD campaign once were two cultures practiced different variations of ritual cannibalism. One used their dead family members as fertilizer, the other straight up ate them. It was combined with ancestor worship and both cultures had a heavy focus on family and heritage. It was a great honor to be invited to dine on a family member, the more people that dined on a person the more prestigious they were. Eating veggies grown on someone was likewise seen as a great honor.
The cultures also fucking hated each other, like scots and other scots lol.
It took place in a world were space was at a premium, so no burial sites were really available, which led to people getting very intricate funeral rites. Only the wealthy got buried.
