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

Not long ago, I looked up a recipe in fr*nch. Surprisingly, it was just a 1-paragraph description, and then the recipe. Maybe this trend is language-specific?
It might be!
In Burgerland, searching in English under any search engine I know of requires you to sift through a bunch of uplifting life lessons learned by being really affluent and vacationing a lot where you have authentic experiences sipping authentic tea with authentic and exotic people.
Okay, let's try this with the other language I can babble in.
Here is a simple, 5-ingredient, one-pan recipe.
And here is the same recipe in an English-language site. I suppose that reading it will be easier and quicker because it's in-
I've seen much, much worse. That's actually the least pretentious and bloviating English-language recipe I've seen on the internet in years.
Yes but the Spanish-language site is like 30 kb, the English-language site is 100 mb or more with the retracting ad frames, video popups, and everything else.
The latter one's purpose is the clutter of bazinga malware, not the recipe.
That's an excellent point.
