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

Does Hank Green have a humiliation fetish? (www.youtube.com)

Seriously, he manages to spend this entire video pointing out his own obvious mistakes, or saying in the edit how he'll correct them later, but then has to put a correction in the comments about how he drastically underestimated prices that he didn't bother to check, so the final "maybe correct" results aren't even reflected in the video at all. And then he completely speculates on how they might price things and completely neglects the possibility that the pricing at two different restaurants might have anything to do with eachother.

Why even make this? I guess the point about "premium" fast food places selling you bigger portions

Its been wild watching them get more and more out of touch in a lot of ways.

Mister runs several companies and major youtube channels, and sells books, and etc. and lives in low CoL Montana, no shit things are way cheaper there, quadruply so for him because he's rich.

John was and probably would have continued to be, a moderately successful YA writer if he hadn't done youtube. Hank idk. Maybe he'd have a much smaller career doing science communication (he had a blog/company, EcoGeek, if I recall, before vlogbrothers). Maybe he'd have been more radicalized about climate change and capitalism if he hadn't been so successful, idk.
