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

I love that I can buy a Brita filter and a hotplate to drink clean water in the US. That's real freedom!
Isn't poor people dying how we test for botulism?
The children who yearn for the mines, yearn most of all to be canaries
Never criticizing the expensive waste of government money it was to use lead products in the first place. They just don't want to acknowledge that undoing harm is part of fixing a problem.
The fact that these things were allowed at all is the problem, not that it'll cost money to fix it.
I don't think the health effects of lead were well understood until after most of the plumbing was already in place
I'm just going off the US and its history of knowing dangerous things for longer than they admit, but I'm gonna research it either way. Thanks!
That’s even dumber…
Just like you can choose between working and starving to death. Landlords know tenants can’t afford anywhere that isn’t actively killing you so why would they bother spending money to take out the lead?
