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

when they inevitably capture an abrams

"this thing uses how much fuel??"
"are there any bridges this thing can cross?"
"dig it in and use it as a stationary gun i guess"

This has the same energy as a guy I went to school with who got his ass kicked in a fist fight but kept bragging about how he "got more combos".

Someone I know told me the Russians were resorting to handing out old Mosin Nagants to troops

Enemy at the gates was one of the most successful pieces of propaganda of this generation

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

literally just taking rumors about the sorry state of the Russian army in 1917 and transposing them into 1942

Can you give a brief synopsis for us non g*mers?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

enemy at the gates is a fictionalized film about Vasily Zaitsev, a highly decorated soviet sniper
in the film, he is forced to charge the nazis without a rifle

This is the posting equivalent of a drunk guy in the bar starting an argument on a subject he learned about five minutes ago. I wouldn't even call this post misinformed, because I can guarantee no actual research went into it. Its more blind conjecture oriented around an unshakable belief that all things Western are inherently good, and everything Russian is trash, and extending that formula to everything imaginable.

The M2 Bradley, one of Ukraine's latest wunderwaffe's, is famously cramped (because they had to fit all the missiles and auto-cannon rounds somewhere) and even in Iraq never came with AC, or much of anything else in the way of crew comforts. Real life cross-section's of the Leopard 1 also show that they're similarly crowded and uncomfortable for the crew. By contrast late-Soviet designs like the BMP-3 or BTR-90 did make some efforts to improve passenger ergonomics with both featuring more cubic space and better stabilizers than comparable NATO designs, while also managing to fit in such quality of life improvements as toilets and AC.

There's a WTYP bonus episode about the Bradley.

:geordi-no: The Russians will lose morale after seeing how much better our tank blast doors are

:geordi-yes: The Japanese will lose morale after seeing we have a naval ship just for making ice cream

TIL about ice cream barges. The American Empire has clearly always run on treats.
