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

Everyone's hating on it but I actually love this design. I love the futuristic feel. Still not a fan of Musk obv

I also love stupid, ugly vehicles. The Aztek is dope, to me.

Yess and the Fiat Multipla. Where other people see ugliness, I see function and intentional design

Seeing something that isn't there doesn't make you more insightful, it just makes you delusional.

It'll look even more futuristic when it catches fire after cutting open a pedestrian with a glancing blow because a road marking was obscured by a paper bag.

That's not the kind of future I was envisioning it as a part of. Unfortunately I also wasn't envisioning it to be made by Musk's company. In my future it would be produced by, yes, a workers cooperative, user-reparable, with open technologies and tested to strict EU standards.

Edit: whoops forgot what instance I was on.

It looks like a prop from a PS1 game

Everyone's hating on it because it's the dumbest, ugliest fucking thing ever on four wheels. It's futuristic in the way 70's silver-jumpsuits in a bad sci-fi B-movie were "futuristic."

The fucking Delorean looks ten times more "futuristic" than this lump of shit, and that was made literally over 40 years ago.
