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

There is a bad wiff of gone off mayo of it now alright. The constant use of folk in lefty writing is annoying too.
Better than 'You people'.💁♂️
we should appropriate from new jersey instead. i'm gonna start saying "youse"
is "cats" acceptable?
This is "dawg" erasure
i have a very vague memory of a 90s cartoon doing a 50s pastiche where the bathroom signs said cats and something else. not sure if that was a joke or if that usage of cat has contextual gender
poor lenny
fuck I totally thought that was a young Grandpa Simpson
My wife's got Pennsylvania family that says "yinz"
I have never once heard 'yinz' in casual conversation; is that actually real or is my leg getting yanked
It’s real
It's real. Only the old folks say it though. The younger people say "you guys" mostly.
Okay, older folk slang, that makes sense. I'm just here like "wh????? I've known hella people from philly and never once heard that, fuck y'all mean" but that lines up better.
Must be from the Pittsburgh area.
No, southeast PA actually
Volx
:cringe:
"folks" is gender neutral
so is people?
