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

Hard to be scared by a book if you can't read

"Twitter is the playground of the idle mind"

Says man posting on Twitter about Twitter acting like they are the authority on Twitter.

When the revolution comes, everyone who ever paid for a blue check mark goes straight to gulag

Twitter's AI is doing a smashing job of shitting on Twitter though, so this gets my critical support.

  • Twitter is implied to be the place where people go to be whining pissbabies

  • Twitter is implied to be an unproductive timesuck

  • Twitter is literally cast as the playground for the idle mind

  • People will forget about you if all you do is tweet

  • People wouldn't want to be known as the king of tweets; being the best at twitter is implied to be a pitiful achievement

  • Elon is ridiculed for stirring up drama and using Twitter as the vehicle for this

...I can get behind this messaging.

Trueanan was right. Grok is woke.

This reads like Elon asked ChatGPT to write a diss track about King and Xhit-post it.

God conservatives are so bad at this shit.

How can you be happy with a long-winded, four paragraph insult at Stephen King that doesn't mention him praising Stepan Bandera in front of the whole Internet?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 8 months ago

Because they like that he did that

[–] [email protected] 30 points 8 months ago

Somehow Elon found a way to make laughing at your own jokes even worse.

This is like a bad Dennis Miller bit

I mean, all of Dennis Miller is bad but this is like, bad

Grok’s got a point. Musk’s existence is more horrifying than anything King could write.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago

he’s said before he wants personal robot butlers to do things like “show family photos to grandma” like fuck society we all gonna live in pods and have the computer take all our autonomy.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 8 months ago

Don't believe for a minute this was created by an AI

[–] [email protected] 24 points 8 months ago

Jesus fuck.

Can you imagine being such an unimaginative personality vacuum that you have to ask an AI to make an insult for you.

And then when it produces this tepid fart of a roast getting so blown away by it that you share it online for all to see.

Man, this shit's so weak it wouldn't even make it into my predictive text.

Yeh, Stephen King better get cracking writing new books or he may use his title as 'king of horror', otherwise everyone will forget he's one of the most famous and prolific authors of the last 100 years. He'd better add to his massively lacking body of work or he'll lose his title to...Dean Koontz?

This would be like if Elvis hadn't died and people were telling him in the 90s he'd better get back in the studio or no one will call him the king of rock n roll anymore. Pretty sure Steve can very comfortably rest on his laurels and remain a household name for decades without doing anything.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I only know about Dean Koontz because he’s the butt of a Family Guy joke where Brian runs him over with a car

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

I read a book of his about genetically mutated dogs when I was like 11 or so and liked it, but he's known as the b grade King

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

My exposure to his existence was a robot chicken sketch.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Same energy, basically

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Ok sure yeah, but consider:

his posts are cringe

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago

My face after reading that

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago

AI has already perfected the recreation of the "conservative stand up comedian whose own bit makes him angry in the middle of a show". They're truly taking all of our jobs

Jesus christ what have they been feeding it

"steven kings books aren't even scary, I mean, have you seen what elon posts on twitter??!"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Imagine actually finding that the least bit funny

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

King of horror? More like king of doo doo 🤣🤣

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

This is a redditorism of the highest scale... kill em!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago
