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

Can't explain that.
As always, it's very indicative of the fundamental disconnect between the average person and the stock market that such a headline exists
what a fucking waste of energy...
What a waste
Overpay for water in a can and detergent in sheet form to supposedly save the world while crypto and AI boil the seas dry anyways.
"Maximizing profit leads to maximizing common good" but also power grid down equals profit
Unemployment is down, stocks are up, and the U.N. has just declared global peace forever.
the U.N. has just declared global peace forever.
that's bad for the economy though :/
But EVs putting a gradual but predictable increase to power demand is horrible.
