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

OMFG the only reason you get these sort of fast food/gas stations/middling hotel clusters is because they’re next to an INTERSTATE EXIT, placed there by CENTRAL PLANNERS. God these fucks are so baby brained that they think anything they like in society just exists naturally and not as the result of active planning and processes.

Wdym, the combination Pizza Hut/long John silvers/Taco Bell has existed out in the wild since at least 15000 BC

Some of the earliest forms of Sumerian writing were actually just people complaining about their order at Pizza Hut

"Centralization is when everything looks the same."

Meanwhile you could uproot the buildings in that photo and plop them back down by some other highway interchange and absolutely nobody would notice the difference.

Not true! The signage would be wrong.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 11 months ago (1 children)

how would anyone be able to tell? the sign says "springfield 11 miles". there's always a springfield.

Nuh uh! This one has a five-over-one and lines of trees hiding all the fast food places because "upscale living"

This is just "understanding history is marxism" again in the same veign as the ever popular "roads were always built for cars"

i'm jus riffing here but i think in a sense history is a necessarily collectivist endeavor. it's memory at mass scale. the liberal subject has no use for causes and effects outside their own recollections.
