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

It's so funny that the logical conclusion of this guy's life is Starlink satellites inevitably causing Kessler syndrome and preventing humans space exploration.

berdly-actually "Starlink" bazinga satellites are low-earth orbit, which means they'll burn up in the near future... which means more launches are constantly needed to maintain the bazinga satellite network for even more waste production and carbon dumping. The future!

I prefer to dream big. Eternal night sky pollution with 20 TW geosynchronous powersats please. Death to Earth based astronomy, or something. qin-shi-huangdi-fireball

Sounds a lot like what lord-bezos-amused had in mind after going up into space and coming up with... stuff, instead of the usual humility and newfound sense of care for the planet.

Well powersats would actually be very good for the planet.

A whole lot of technological things would be cool and good if they weren't entrusted to the worst possible people for the worst possible reasons.
