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

Not surprised she's a lib. Although we all can benefit from more Commie scientists (sorry, Lysenko).

That being said, I appreciate her weekly science news stuff and no-nonsense physics videos. For people with technical backgrounds, she's better than similar science channels out there (except PBS Spacetime, my beloved).

On another note, she turned so clickbaity recently. What's with YouTube and those weird thumbnail face expressions?? I see it everywhere and it's so greasy-looking.

Something about the YouTube algorithm pushing videos with that type of thumbnail so now every video has a thumbnail of someone making a funny face to drive viewership.

Would love to see a photo of a room filled with the people whom these faces work on.
