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 have an acquaintance who bought a Tesla (not the truck) and has done nothing but complain about how shitty the build quality is and how cheap the interior feels. Instead of realizing that he got scammed, he's just decided that he must not have gotten an expensive enough model, and is looking to drop $75,000 or so on the next model up. It's nuts.

It really is wild how the design philosophy of American production is "build cheap bullshit and then charge more money so people assume it's higher quality than it is"

It works with wine, so they decided that it probably works with everything else too! They mostly seem to be correct.

Real eye opener for an acquaintance trust failson when he admitted the $3 bottle of Aldi's wine tasted about as good as his parents private stock $1000+ bottles.

This is the biggest secret of wine and you just blurted it out like that.
