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

Nah, it's a real thing though even if you take the precautions. Happened to me back in 2017 too; even if you use real eclipse glasses on top of regular sunglasses, after looking at the eclipsed sun too much (probably cumulatively less than a few minutes) my eyes hurt. I limited looking to less than a minute this time, eyes still felt slightly bad but not as bad as last time.

imo the real mass damage this time around will be the phone cameras. I saw 10 different people trying to look at the sun through their phone camera for a long ass time.

I was skeptical, so I checked myself…. Just wow
