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. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

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

As someone who started driving at 26 and knows nothing about cars, I've installed every pair of wipers myself and they've all worked fine for at least a few thousand miles. Just like $10 ones from Walmart, maybe looking at the package when I try to remember how to do it. The very simple mechanism that swings back and forth hasn't had an issue in almost 60k mi because it's a technology we solved in the 18th century. I think I even bent it while fumbling my way through a wiper installation and it's just fine.

Add one more thing to the list of things which immediately threaten to kill cybertruck drivers and everyone around them.

The Cybertruck has one giant windshield wiper. Iirc the wiper is nonstandard because it has a tiny spoiler on it to stop it from flapping in the wind. This means it definitely isn't spontaneously available at your local Autozone, let alone Walmart.

Single wipers have not been uncommon for years now, it's not hard to make them work (unless you're noted genius entrepreneur Elon "Techno King" Musk lmao)
