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

Apparently the British wish to lock me up for daring to suggest something with flavor instead of a cucumber sandwich

It is also okay to just be sensitive to spiciness, esp. because it may be related to neurodivergence.

I'm completely sure that this is part of it for me, but I have definitely increased my tolerance over time. I'd like to continue increasing it, because it is nice to be able to enjoy more flavors.

Instead of 0 out of 5 spicy at a Thai restaurant, get 1 out of 5 for a while, etc.

It's a bit annoying when my dad is ordering a 5 and loving it but I'm stuck at like a 2 (at my local Thai place, 1 might as well be a zero — my mom who literally can't handle more than green pepper tabasco sauce can enjoy that). How do you know when it's time to increase to the next level? When you're feeling brave enough?

Hard to say but maybe once a 3 starts tasting normal and a 2 tastes weak
