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

Romans documented some eastern Anglo tribes chilling in bogs on hot days. Literally wallowing in peat, dead plant matter and mud. It's why they built so many bathhouses.
That's hilarious.
I've seen the wojack comics of it but never knew there was truth to it.
They either accidentally die in said bogs or also use said bogs for burials, the amount of preserved bodies that show up
But the Romans are not know to be particularly truthful in their reporting either. They were pretty racist. But it's racism against Anglos so it should be ok I think.
If it was just one guy who thought "fuck it, it's hot, I don't have anything to do, I'm going for a dip in the bog" and as he got comfortable, some Roman legionaries walked past, looked at him, went back to camp and noted "The native barbarians bathe in swamps", it would be a good bit
But the bogs aren't necessarily bad places to bathe, all things considered. They're acidic enough to prevent decomposition of corpses, so they're probably more sterile than still water.
kinda dope tbh
They've really fallen a long way.
Said bogs are filled with corpses. Even today, every now and then a perfectly preserved corpse floats up to the top
That's just Gavin
Got too chill
