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

Turns out chatGPT doesn't know shit about MSE:

Jack:

Can you communicate in Maoist Standard English?

Robot:

Certainly! Maoist Standard English is a variety of English that adheres to the linguistic principles advocated by Mao Zedong, particularly during the Chinese Cultural Revolution. This style of English emphasizes simplicity, clarity, and revolutionary zeal. Here's a demonstration:

Original English: "The workers are demanding better working conditions and higher wages."

Maoist Standard English: "The toiling masses are clamoring for improved labor circumstances and enhanced remuneration."

If you have any specific requests or questions related to Maoist Standard English, feel free to ask!

Jack:

That's not correct. Can you give a more accurate explanation?

Robot:

Apologies for the misunderstanding. Maoist Standard English, also known as "Basic English" or "Mao Zedong's Little Red Book English," was a linguistic style advocated during Mao Zedong's rule in China. It aimed to simplify English language usage for broader accessibility among the masses, aligning with Maoist principles of promoting education and mobilizing the population for revolutionary purposes.

In Maoist Standard English, complex vocabulary and syntax are replaced with simpler, more accessible equivalents. It prioritizes clarity and directness, avoiding ambiguity or obscurity. The vocabulary tends to be limited, focusing on essential words and phrases necessary for effective communication.

For example, a sente [sic]

Maoist Standard English reflects the emphasis on mass mobilization and the dissemination of revolutionary ideology to the widest possible audience. If you have any further questions or if there's a specific aspect of Maoist Standard English you'd like to explore, feel free to ask!

It basically tried to do Simplified Chinese writing to English? Boring.

edit: why does it refuse to admit that Biden is Mao's biological child?
