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

It's so fuckin' weird, just reminds me of how cheesemakers back in the day demanded that American cheese be referred to as embalmed cheese

Processed cheese was the compromise

embalmed cheese

Idk seems pretty appropriate to me.

When margarine was first introduced, dairy farmers lobbied against allowing it to be colored yellow to look like butter so the margarine manufacturers had to include a little packet of yellow food dye and you had to mix it in yourself.

I'm from the state where it's illegal for restaurants to serve margarine unless you specifically ask for it

I am very familiar with the stuff
