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

Honestly this seems like a big thing with these quacks, they assume everyone Pre-industrialization was some sort of Adonis Chad. Clearly modern medicine must be a load of shit cuz wouldn't have humanity all died out if were really this fragile?
Yeah let's ignore the high rates of infant mortality and how many historical figures died of diseases that can be cured with over the counter drugs now. There probably are SOME aspects of ancient living that are healthier than today but let's not ignore the accomplishments of modern medicine.
My mom dated this ultra conservative religious former cop. A conversation came up where we talked about how parts of Genesis don't make sense, specifically people's ages. IIRC, its something like Noah being 300 when he died. He said "it's because people were healthier back then."
I've hear similar stuff like how before the flood, more water in the atmosphere caused people to live longer. This cuckoo shit is all up in protestant discourse so they can rationalize a literal interpretation.
This is an actual Biblical concept. It's believed that before the deluge the Earth was much different, and that for whatever reasons humans had much longer lifespans, but the deluge reshaped the Earth and now humanity has shorter longevity.
They tend not to teach this shit in normie Christian sects tho.
