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

He couldn't McDonald's or charge they phone back then, so he had to double down on eat hot chip and lie.

You say that this product shouldn’t be sold because it might kill you, but have you considered that this other thing might kill you too? I am very smart.

White people fundamentally do not understand how spice works, like I have eaten hot wings where the only flavor is spicy, a chemical spicy flavor completely disconnected from nature whose sole purpose is to cause pain.

Like in cuisines that have used spices for thousands of years, it's understood that spiciness is meant to complement the other flavors used in the dish. Like there are hot-as-fuck Sichuan dishes that are nevertheless easy to eat becuase making it really hot isn't the only consideration in the recipe.

Like for the sake of white people we can't let them have anymore exotic flavors. Think of what they will do to themselves if Sichuan peppercorns ever get really popular. They will create a tasteless chip with so much numbing power it will cause permenent jaw paralysis.

The one chip challenge is just macing yourself in the mouth for people who want to feel like they are above macing themselves in the mouth. I love spicy food but IMO once you start adding capsaicin extracts to anything, you've gotten lost somewhere.

[–] [email protected] 55 points 2 years ago

White people just see spices as challenges (see also the cinnamon challenge) that are meant to be conquered. There is to be no joy in Anglo life, only heroic victories over the asiatic menace known as "flavor".

I've eaten bits of straight-up reaper that taste good because they're so strongly aromatic, and sauces that people ostensibly intended to taste good, but which taste like pool chemicals because it's full of capsaicin extract.

Anyway, just chop/mash/powderize actual peppers instead of doing dumb chemist shit with them.

Gnawed on a fresh Bird's Eye chili once, it was crisp with a satisfying snap to it. Also the roof of my mouth went numb for a while.

Eat hot chip and die.

Can't even enjoy hot chip while you lie anymore ooooooooooooooh

[–] [email protected] 49 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Neither of those points make sense. The label didn't say, "This chip might kill you".

Nor is there evidence that the guy ate the equivalent of 3 bottles of whiskey in hot chips. The story I read implied he ate one chip, which is the amount the manufacturer intended you to eat, since they come in packages of one.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 2 years ago

Nothing chuds like more than licking corporate boot. Speculating about preexisting conditions is their favorite pastime whether it’s a cop murdering somebody or dying from eating hot chip

And even if it did say that, it would be unenforceable.

Casual eugenics treat loveryea

you know you'd think a headline of "poisonous food kills child" would have most people on board with banning the poison but here we are

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 years ago

A few years of "children are CROTCH FRUIT from POORS that SHOULD NOT BREED" reddit-logo ideology didn't help.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 years ago (1 children)

gotta add the eugenics at the end just as the final touch

Are anglos really that much of a pig for punishment where they line up to eat the pepperspray chip?

[–] [email protected] 46 points 2 years ago

The American life is increasingly devoid of effective stimulus and thus self-destructive or seemingly self-destructive acts are used as stand-ins for "feeling alive".

Alright now which one of you has been going around scratching the liberals again?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Freddy Krueger, but instead of a brick wall, he's dragging his claw against a bunch of liberalism all lined up.

This is an American pastime: bitching and moaning about how everyone else is dumber than you. This is most clearly seen in driving, where everyone is somehow “above average”, according to themselves.
