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

I linked to this particular rage tweet in particular because there's a staggering number of divorce dad layers to it, so many that I really can't make an accurate count of it, and I'm unsure if repeated uses of the same layer count as more layers yet. shrek-pixel-despair

I know he puts on this front that he’s being light hearted but every single post of his screams that he’s perpetually angry, just seething on the inside 24/7, and it’s honestly creepy as fuck.

Like that old video of that german kid slamming and destroying his computer because he misplaced a block in tetris or something.

Well, I remember that thing that Grimes said about him having a "Demon mode" which, y'know kind of just sounds like he has some serious emotional problems

[–] [email protected] 35 points 3 months ago (2 children)

The self-described "savior of humanity" has a "demon mode" but trust him with bringing the light of (his) consciousness to the stars. morshupls

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 months ago

I really hope he just gets atomized in a failed launch

I know he's too much of a coward to actually be on one of his deathtraps

But I can hope one goes so off-course it plows him straight to hell

This is how you reach out to techbro dipshit fascist nerds who think Darth Vader was justified and that the empire was right. For sure want to live with these guys in a 500ft by 500ft bubble on mars.

That’s just stockholm syndrome on her part, there is no mode, this guy is a vile poece of shit 24/7 and he can’t even hide it through his ‘jokes’

Like, compared to him, Trump seems like he has much softer and human side.

They're both losers who were given too much money to fail

Even the chosen laughter images look more like a bully's face while bullying a kid at school than any kind of actual relaxed joviality.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah, I think you’ve described perfectly what’s so unnerving about it. Horror show ass pictures from a mega billionaire scammer no less.

And his squirmy ‘Makes you think’ posts in reply to something about Mein Kampf, dude is absolutely villainous

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago (1 children)

dude is absolutely villainous

This is giving him too much credit, villains can be cool and often have tragic backstories or motivations that actually make sense

Elon has just always been an evil piece of shit

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

Yeah, dude’s genuinely lame as fuck

Making memes of yourself is the type of shit you do in middle school because you just discovered social media

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 months ago

Real 15-or-50 energy.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

er.. yeah.. hey fellow ... uh.. kids.. remember doing that in middle school? yeah... me.. too..

yeah memes were totally around and the best when i was in middle school

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

So glad there were no smart phones when i was that age

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

me too.. as much as I pined for "unlimited" and fast internet, i'm so so glad it wasn't a thing back then..

America Online was pretty much the bird's word around that time and good luck even connecting to it half the time

Did anyone answer with the drill corn cob tweet?

[–] [email protected] 32 points 3 months ago

If they did, they may have been banned faster than if they said "cis." dril

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This is absolutely wishful thinking, but I fully in my heart believe Elon will [redact] himself in under 10 years

If he wasn't so disgustingly wealthy, everyone would see the obvious signs he gives off. But I seriously think that he absolutely has a deep deep legitimate need for people to all think he's super smart and clever, and as that slips further by the day, he's desperately trying to shape his reality to fit his inner narrative. Once that slips too far... 🤷‍♂️

Who knows. But I'll be wishing!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He's definitely the rare type of specimen where it would be funny to watch someone bully him into having depression and mental health issues.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago

Yeah I'm not even advocating bullying him (but hey I wouldn't stop it either). I just think he has a bunch of symptoms, in my non-professional opinion, that any other person would have recognized by themselves or friends/family at some point and actually get medical help. But because of who he is no one is gonna break his bubble to tell him he needs help. I can see him going off a Jordan Peterson ledge basically. Too high on his own bullshit that he ends up in induced coma, if he's lucky. It seems like he's breaking from reality more and more every time he speaks. You can hear him speak 10, 20 years ago and over time he's just becoming totally unhinged. It could all be a purposeful thing, or a "coming out" thing, but I'll lean into he needs medical help and he's absolutely not going to get that needed help.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Btw he was laughing at a dead deer in the original video

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I believe you (because St. E~L~O~N is that creepy) but do you have a source I could look up for later purposes?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's on youtube, search PewDiePie Elon musk

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Fucks' sake, there's also a connection to that "ironic until conveniently otherwise" nazi, too?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Ben Shapiro also appeared in a PewDiePie video, so basically he evolved from an Ironic Nazi into a right wing outpost

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

The fact that Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan, and my-hero were all in the same pictures to peddle the latter's products makes me feel like reality is too silly and too full of contrived chud connections.

Elon hasn't laughed in so long that all the pictures of him doing it are from 10+ years ago.

I believe in free speech but only if I am the one who is allowed it.
