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.

Every time I hear something else about Scott Adams, I get more embarrassed about liking Dilbert when I was a shitty teen.
I was never into Dilbert but my parents got me that big collection of them where Scott Adams leaves little comments on them in a sort of marginalia way. It was before a large car trip and I think they thought it would be just funny cartoons like Calvin and Hobbes (which I'd read earlier) to keep me entertained. And so for some reason I can remember certain Dilbert comics in crystal clarity including Scott Adams opinions on the reaction at the time.
Weirdly a similar thing happened to Mattie Lubchansky author of the Antifa Cookbook and Boys Weekend.
I had several of the cartoon books, but the only one I remember specifically is the one where Dogbert asks a recruit for the holy war (Linux vs Windows, I think?), "Can you chant?"
Something about that just really tickled me.
My dad had two Far Side collections in hardcover and I loved those things.
