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

Who taught the word "existential" to King Bazinga? Did it happen during his slapfight with Existential Comics on Twitter some years back? thinking-about-it

What regulations? This is the US you already have the anarchy you want.

Also, you admitted it yourself Musk. Only stupid people would trust you. You used that as a legal defense.

Regulations like "workers must work in marginally safe conditions and be paid a minimal amount of money" make it impossible to be innovative.

I wish I was joking. I've argued with business owners who unironically believe OSHA and minimum wage are the biggest reasons they aren't billionaires.

I am 100% in favor of loading all billionaires into rockets with 0 safety regulations. Fire away!

Someone should post that comic of Elon getting murdered in space again

lmao I'm so fucking glad he outed himself to a much wider population as a lil' ol' not-smart weirdo with... y'know... everything he's done recently

Still not ideal omori-furious, but at least fewer people at work will repeat this to me as a serious claim, and those who do with less enthusiasm on average

So this story arc is liable to be the funniest. I'm calling it now, we will see Elon Musk get blown up in his own wizz-bang xp5000 while attempting to escape Earth. It will be due to a faulty pressurized fuel valve that he directly ordered not to be thoroughly tested because "move fast and break things". The black box, once recovered, will show that he died moments before the big boom of a stroke from doing absolutely zero g force conditioning and having a Neurolink. Boring Star X-r corp will announce that it's okay, they downloaded his brain before lift off, and proceed to call a press conference to watch as they switch on their digital Musk. The machine only beeps once and does nothing, they are unable to recover any coherent data. Still love the space ship tho.
