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

BREAKING: China's terracotta armies were fakes meant to hide their army of genetically engineered super-soldiers.

When you put them in water they swell up really big and become giant, all the better to crush the westerners underfoot

Not super common, but it's happened more than zero times that white people have claimed that a bunch of old artifacts were a product of ancient white groups.

Ah, thank you for the explanation comrade! Wow, that's a weird place for white supremacy to show up but I probably shouldn't be surprised at this point.

it's about archaeology in Xinjiang and how it's supposedly used to make a historical Chinese claim to the Ughyur region.

So just accusing China of doing what Israel has done for 80 years, a classic move

If an artefact isn't in the British museum, is it even really an artefact?
