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

Adverbs, more often than not, add absolutely nothing of value. They’re just these annoyingly redundant, excessively ornamental words that people use to sound more sophisticated or to emphasize something, but they end up making sentences needlessly complicated. And if you’re like me, who prefers things straight to the point, it’s infuriatingly frustrating to deal with.

I love how chat gpt can’t stop itself from writing like this in an argument about why you shouldn’t.

it is about as smart as your average reddit-logo user
