The Dredge Tank. For posting all the low tier reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else. Got some bullshit from Reddit with 2 upvotes and want to share, post it here.

This community was created with the purpose that Rule 8 fans will just block it.

The rules are literally The Dunk Tank's rules, just without rule 8.

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.

Half of all Americans won't acknowledge police brutality and authoritarian overstep when it happens to poc, but will for a squirrel.

This whole thing is stupid

genuine question

what the fuck is this squirrel and why are we even talking about squirrels I’m so confused

[–] [email protected] 35 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Apparently was a squirrel that became prominent on social media (which someone was keeping as a pet). Squirrel was seized by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and euthanized, presumably because it was a squirrel that was being unlawfully owned in New York state?

presumably because it was a squirrel that was being unlawfully owned in New York state?

The response to a pet being 'unlawfully owned' (accepting the absurd premise that you need someone's permission to befriend a squirrel) is to kill it?

it's the New York answer to every question, baybee, ayyy ooooh!

Yeah, I don't get it either

Seems it would've been easier and more humane for that department to just hand it over to a wildlife rehab facility, all other things the same?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 8 months ago (1 children)

They took it from a wildlife rehab facility, he wasn’t just some dude with a squirrel, he was opening a wildlife rehab center

I think there was something having to do with rabies?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Apparently they euthanised both the squirrel and a raccoon that the guy also owned because the squirrel bit one of the cops and they wanted to test the animals for rabies (which I guess can only be done posthumously?)

[–] [email protected] 28 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

99% chance the cops lied about being bit to kill it

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Murderpig lying about something so they have the chance to kill? Say it ain't so

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago

There's no accurate rabies tests except for brain biopsies

That squirrel’s name? Albert Einstein.

The simulacra reaches the end of its cycle, ceasing its relationship to anything that came before, becoming an entirely new image, both, at the same time, devoid of meaning and full of it, like some binary unit.

It is a coworker story because I've heard this exact same story from the chuds I work with, except it was about an alligator. It would be the only thing that punctuates his thoughts before he goes back to talking about crimes.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

If I Drej post enough in the Drej Tank, it's possible that the Drej as a concept will gradually fade as the villains of a 2000 Don Bluth animated movie and be more associated with awful things on the internet and shooting energy beams on them.

Triumph the Insult Comic Dog might even be seen as the Drej Queen's always-there-but-never-explained associate to herald the orbital strikes on internet clownfuckery.

That would destroy the original context. One must imagine the Drej Queen happy, though.
