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

Somebody should tell the Ukrainian Air Force to get rid of their MiGs

[–] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 53 points 1 year ago (1 children)

huh i would've thought russia already got rid of all of ukraine's MIGs by now

[–] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 63 points 1 year ago (4 children)

liberals will not stop until the word "genocide" is completely watered down. When I stubbed my toe yesterday the coffee table did a genocide to me.

I guess these people assume these flashcarts are made on the same assembly lines as Russian warplanes. I also wonder what they think about the death and destruction the Western MIC causes around the globe- probably they just don't, at all

spoiler

I've also seen many people allege that the whole Russian branding on these carts is just Team Xecuter trying to throw Nintendo off their scent

[–] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 33 points 1 year ago

if they were on the same assembly lines then every flash cart is a plane component they didn't make so these libs should buy them by the pallet

lathe-of-heaven The year is 2024, the Soviet Union has suppressed the military aggression of capitalist superpowers like the United States. The Mikoyan and Gurevich Design Bureau now dedicates it's resources to electronic entertainment for the masses.

It's only "genocide" if you're the 'right' kind of white person or if it's been more than 100 years sweaty

Uyghurs confirmed honorary Aryans by Adrian Zenz.

Never ask PDX forummer about Tocharians.

[–] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago

It's only "genocide" if it's politically expedient for the western ruling class to label it as such.

The settler hostage girl who a palestinian child refused to give a candy call it her personal Holocaust

Well if you compare your body to United States of America, your stubbed toe was equivalent of at least dozen of 9/11's

Somehow I feel like this person is perfectly fine with imagery of American planes and military equipment, and if you named your emulator the "blackhawk" emulator they wouldn't be demanding a name change due to the massacres of Vietnamese people.

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Of course. I'm also 99% sure they support Israel.

[–] Xx_Aru_xX@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

Lil uzi should change his name smh

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

They're probably fine with MSI Tomahawk branding.

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 46 points 1 year ago

Imagine if the people who did this applied the same standard to America. It'd fold under embargos faster than apartheid South Africa lmao

Nintendo Adults, ladies and enbies.

[–] robinn_IV@hexbear.net 34 points 1 year ago

Who will stop the UNSCRUPULOUS users driving Nintendo to bankruptcy by STEALING their precious 60 dollar games?

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 24 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Who is worse? Them or Disney adults?

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

Nintendo adults (I don't really have to deal with Disney adults)

fray196

When a subreddit's ideology becomes so engrained in a person's identity they include the number in their usernames completely unrelated to reddit.

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Never mind the Ukrainians have been bombing ethnic Russians for the last decade and made hard political and legal steps to erase their culture, religion, language, and voice from society. Russia are totally the genociders here.

You mean a COMMIE welder? I'll bet they only use those to make their orc armor and bombs to kill Ukrainian ~~nazis~~ freedom fighters

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ukraine fans: "HOW DARE YOU NAME SOMETHING AFTER A RUSSIAN WEAPON?! 😭"

Also Ukraine fans: "This is my cat: Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf. E of the Schwere SS-Panzerabteilung 101 😊"

[–] GhostSpider@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Oh, how I miss the days I would browse reddit-logo and see unconditional love and praise for an army of literal neonazi mercenaries 🥲

lmao doesn’t ukraine still also fly mig-29s?

[–] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

If only they actually cared about war

[–] TraumaDumpling@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i don't even know if the russians use the 'mig' designation anymore but the mig-21 is definitely the most aesthetic war plane in existence, with an impressive war record and long list of users to boot. i think they use the designation scheme 'SU-[number]' for their modern planes but i could be wrong.

[–] Minnesocialism@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

Mig and SU are designations from whichever aircraft manufacturer they came from. Mig comes from Mikoyan, whereas SU is derived from Sukhoi.

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

Banning welders from MIG welding

[–] shitholeislander@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

the Nintendo Switch comment is the cherry on top here. dude would let Nintendo fuck his wife if he had one

[–] LeZero@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

The Mig Jimenez company is CANCELLED

Literally the entire video: here's why this will be basically useless for piracy

The comments: You're promoting piracy by showing this

[–] edge@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The mechanism for switching games is just so clunky and will probably cause wear to the cartridge slot. Why not put a couple buttons on top or something?

[–] doublepepperoni@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

I have to assume they were limited by the security measures on unmodded Switches

Before taking a pc screenshot, click on the reduce window button

[–] doublepepperoni@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

puzzled googled this but found nothing

[–] alexandra_kollontai@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The picture is hard to read on mobile phones because the picture is wide but phone screens are thin. So, to be able to read it, phone users have to zoom in to make the text big enough and horizontally scroll, which doesn't feel very good.

It helps to make the window smaller horizontally before taking a screenshot, so that people can read it more easily on phone or computer.

[–] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

turn your phone 90 degrees and more of the text will fit

also OP should be copypasting the text anyway for screen readers and then you wouldn't have to look at the picture at all.

[–] REEEEvolution@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 1 year ago

Muh Ukrainian genocide. The ICJ shot that claim down, the only thing that came out of it was the court telling Russia to support the ukrainian language more.

[–] GhostSpider@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

sigh I don't even have interest in pirating games for my Switch, but the Mig marketing team finally convinced me to buy one angery
