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

Just what you need after a natural disaster, 100 of the worst fucking people ever in your area
Everyone of them convinced they know more than anybody else there as they drive into moving water of unknown depth and become another person needing to be rescued.
Taking a shitty electric truck to a place that's largely without power seems like a poor idea.
They are not even hybrid right?
Not unless you strap a generator to the back.
Also there's no gas anywhere.
Guys should we send a bunch of electric vehicles to a town that is underwater and has no electricity?
If you can use then as portable batteries they might have value, probably not as good as a generator but what the hell
Does it really help much for your house to have power for an hour if you're counting on a cybertruck owner to act as an electrician and not fry your wiring and then leave his truck dead, blocking your driveway?
Haven't they suffered enough?
If you tell him it's a bad idea he'll call you a paedophile
I'm driving my electric truck down to place without power to provide power for 3-4 hours and then immediately getting stuck.
Assuming you arrived with a full charge, you could definitely provide rudimentary power for a couple homes for a day or two.
Seeing how these things like to catch fire after they are submerged, I would be very worried about taking them into a flooded disaster area.
Residents of Asheville with an electric car can hook their stuff up to it, they should be sharing it with their neighbors, but I'm not sure driving from California is going to be much help.
Direct action gets the goods!
Don't they permanently lock the doors and combust if they get wet though, and wouldn't that trap the owner insi-
This sounds very helpful actually.
The electronics bay is depressed inside the hood and poorly waterproofed, so water accumulates in the control electronics and the results are pretty random and pretty bad.
Great now on top of everybody else we've got dozens of dumbasses stuck in ditches and flooded parking lots insisting they get rescued first or else "their father's will hear of this"
