Is it an hexadecimal bear? A hexagonal bear? I am curious but I will also choose the funniest answer as the real one

dope, like a drug dealer?

HexBear (HB) is a cryptocurrency created by venture capitalist "Dort_Owl" in 2020. As of 2025 the coin has a market value cap of two bags of doritos and a bicycle pump.

[–] Wolfman86@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What flavour are the Doritos?

Does the pump work?

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I reached into the variety pack and pulled out sweet chili and cool ranch, lucky you.

The pump is half-broken.

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

Which half?

Not much, what’s an hexbear with you?

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago

it's a bear-warlock dual class, first it casts levitate on its enemies and then mauls them with its superior mass

A hex-bear is a witch who is also a large hairy gay man

It is a HEXahedral BEARing. Yes, a cuboid shaped rolling component.

The Fediverse logo is a profile of a dodecahedron, but because Hexbear was a fork from Lemmy before federation was achieved, the picture still had 6 sides instead of 12.

Every attempt to add faces to the titular component has been dismissed as revisionism.

Ahh, leftists. We'll call anything revisionism.

Copyediting? You better believe that's revisionism; the misspellings of bouejoiesi will remain exactly as they are.

if you still have to ask, you need to read more theory

A miserable pile of secrets

[–] microfiche@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

It is a bear shaped like a hex key and used to tighten or loosen cap screws.

[–] huf@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago
