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

lol, no one has been able to build a self-sustaining city on Earth, but I'm sure that's just all the pesky oxygen and water that is freely available getting in the way, right? Do you think he's even talked to the Biosphere people? Hell, do you think he's even watched Bio-Dome?

I've argued exhaustively, both online and in person, with my-hero devotees about this. If experiments with sealed-in colonies on Earth were failures already and in need of drastic improvements to be successful in the future, what chance does Mars-A-Lago have?

The answers I usually got were treat-brained idioms and slogans, sneering at me about my pessimism. It's not pessimism, it's the fucking science that they claim to fucking love. guts-pain
