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

Why does he not consider vegetable oil to be cooking oil?

Conspiracy theory among the far-right and "carnivores" that seed oil is feminizing men, ruining society, causing cell death, etc.

I’ve deleted my previous post because I was working on old (15 years +) knowledge. There WERE studies which seemed to show that, but I hadn’t followed the subject and apparently further expanded studies show that phytoestrogens don’t have an effect on males. I humbly stand corrected. I will not say that they do any more.

it's funny because there's a ton of shitty companies trying to con closeted trans women into taking phytoestrogen supplements as an OTC transition drug. it's well known in trans communities that at best the dosages are too low to do anything and at worst have a straight up negative impact because phytoestrogens have an extremely weak estrogenic effect, so they block up the estrogen receptors and prevent the actual estradiol in your system from doing anything. some recent studies show that at a sufficiently high dosage, they can permanently harm breast development and the like, but the effect/sample sizes are too small to be certain yet (medical research on transition fucking sucks -- there's no funding and they operate on samples of like 10 people at a time).

remember: if you see someone shoplifting, no you didn't

If you see someone shoplifting, begin asking all nearby associates really weird distracting questions

What do 15-minute cities have to do with this? Might has well say that the legalization of gay marriage hypnotizes people into stealing if you're going to go full non-sequitur.

FYI most people who say shit this dumb know it's dumb BS. They aren't actually that stupid, they just say this shut cuz it's supports a narrative that benefits them. They like driving their big dick trucks to Buffalo Wild Wings to gorge themselves on cheap beer and onion rings and they know spreading BS fear mongering about how evil cities are will help protect that.

The only person I've ever spoken with irl about the 15 minute city conspiracy was definately stupid enough to believe it.

I used to feel the same way about my CHUD family members but if you push them enough, or get them drunk enough, or play along, they'll often admit it's an act. It's a big pantomime they all play into to justify the treat train.

"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."
