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'm half convinced its got caffeine in it because the majority of Americans are addicted to coffee and caffeine which means whenever they go into withdrawal it feels like a migrane and take this to make it go away.

Nah caffeine actually does help treat migraines since it's a vasoconstrictor, and one of the effects of migraines that contributes to them being so painful is that they cause vasodilation. So basically migraine makes the blood vessels in your brain get wide and the caffeine helps get them shrunk back to normal size

I'm sure that's the case for some people's "migraines" that they take this sort of thing for but it does actually have a mechanism for helping with legit migraines
