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.

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

literally only exists because some Chinese guy invented the plow 1500 years ago (while brits were living in actual shitholes)

(btw I mean actual in-the-groud holes full of shit, the Romans even documented it)

Please tell me this is not a joke.

Romans documented some eastern Anglo tribes chilling in bogs on hot days. Literally wallowing in peat, dead plant matter and mud. It's why they built so many bathhouses.

They've really fallen a long way.

Said bogs are filled with corpses. Even today, every now and then a perfectly preserved corpse floats up to the top

That's hilarious.

I've seen the wojack comics of it but never knew there was truth to it.

They either accidentally die in said bogs or also use said bogs for burials, the amount of preserved bodies that show up
