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

The amphibious assault ship was in port in San Diego in July so that it could be upgraded to accommodate the new Marine Corps F-35B jets when a massive fire broke out aboard the vessel in one of the costliest conflagrations in modern Navy history.

Lmao.

"Admiral, here are the blueprints for our new warship the boys in R&D drew up. It can host a hangar's worth of aircraft and state of the art detection systems including but not limited to radar, lidar and sonar. Should the enemy even get close, there are countermeasures and trophy systems, and the hulls are so reinforced it can withstand half a dozen torpedoes or cannon fire."

"What would happen if a moderate sized fire broke out onboard?"

"Then consider all souls on board lost"

"Oh well, you win some and you lose some, here's a blank cheque courtesy of the American taxpayer, get this thing built"
