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

Isn't that joke older than formal logic being a common nerd thing? Like replying "yes" to an either-or question feels like an old sitcom bit about someone not paying attention and inferring from the tail end that they were asked if they wanted the second option or they stopped listening after the first, or just dismissing the question by agreeing to either in an annoying way. In fact, isn't inappropriately answering "yes" to various questions in general a pretty old bit? Like misinterpreting a question about something as an offer of it, misinterpreting an offer as a request, etc? It's just one of those "it's funny because it's wrong" sort of wordplay gags, similar to "who's on first?"
Well, you aren't wrong...
