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

The average commute to work in the US is 27.6 minutes based on the most recent census. That's roughly 260 hours per year spent going back and forth or ~3% of the entire year.

not really "having adult shit to do" so much as just "having too much on your plate and having to bust ass to make ends meet/fulfill your obligations" which definitely applies to some young people too. 33.
But like I said, if that time was at least not an active stressor, or ideally was actively enriching, "wasting" 3% of the year on it might be fine. But 95% of the US population doesn't live in that reality
