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 [email protected]

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

I'm sure this Romilly Newman is 26 years old just like Wikipedia says, but if this article is anything to go off of, then she

Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. ^2^ With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet.

^3^ Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? ^4^ Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.”

^5^ When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened. ^6^ Then some young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.

^7^ About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. ^8^ Peter asked her, “Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?”

“Yes,” she said, “that is the price.”

^9^ Peter said to her, “How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.”

^10^ At that moment she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband. ^11^ Great fear seized the whole church and all who heard about these events.

MF just casually killing a couple that happens to have a ton of money and saying "they just dropped dead, swear!" 😂

Those young men sound like they were pretty quick on the draw, this must have been a common occurrence.

Dancing pallbearers was a legitimate and respectable profession.

When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died.

Stealing this for the next time I'm DMing and a PC gets annoying.
