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

Super interesting to me, particularly because I’ve noticed that some people I know who have ADHD just can’t get enough stimulation (like my boss who takes like 30 mg of aderall while downing multiple cups of coffee in the process)

ADHD or not, that shit cannot be good for your heart lol

Yes, that's a big part of what ADHD is. Also, 30mg of Adderall isn't that much

Well yeah, but there is a point where enough is enough. Like I said, whether you need stimulation or not is one thing, fucking up your nervous system with cocaine-adjacent substances is another

Then again though, maybe it’s a preferable alternative to the reality idk

Cocaine and amphetamines are only related in that they’re both stimulants.

Oral amphetamines are designed to correct an already existing imbalance in neurotransmitters.
