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

Congratulations to the surgeons for the first successful dog to human brain transplant

This comic, except he took Dogbert's brain.

WHY?

What was the point of that experimental surgery to begin with? I know engineer brain is a helluva drug, but what was he trying to accomplish?

Around the same time, Adams said, he was making up to $1 million annually from public speaking, charging up to $100,000 per speech, until in 2005 he suddenly lost the ability to talk with other people. The mysterious condition is known as voice dystonia. While Adams could still speak normally to himself and to his cat, and he could even sing and recite memorized poems, he could no longer have conversations. “I think that’s what led to the end of my marriage,” he told me. “Losing the ability to speak made me feel like a ghost. It was incredibly lonely.” The inexplicable condition, which doctors attributed to a possible mental condition, persisted for three years. Then Adams underwent an experimental surgery that involved cutting nerves that lead from the brain to the vocal cords and building a new path using nerves from elsewhere in the neck. A few months later, his voice returned.

That gives me some sympathy for his situation back then. Too bad he became a nazi afterward if he already wasn't one. sadness

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago

I would be weary of trusting this guy with anything he says. He's always been kinda crazy and I can easily see him convince himself he had this condition, or decide to feign it for whatever reason.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago

Man thwarts god's will, turns crazy Trumper. Coincidence, I think not.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It was done to make him able to speak again.

Doctors have gone too far this time.

publicly announcing that your aren't planning to kill yourself is such a hilarious way to feel tough and important online

[–] [email protected] 43 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Unless you're John McAfee, in which case you announce it immediately before offing yourself just to fuck with people

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago

That's probably the entire point of him posting that.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 2 years ago

The funniest thing about this phrase is that 99% of the people saying it are so privileged and nonthreatening to the system that no one would even assassinate them even if it was free and 100% undetectable. Just a bunch of main characters.

What are the chances this dude got a death threat in a twitter DM and now thinks the government is out to get him

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Someone probably sent him the Navy Seal copypasta

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 years ago (2 children)

His ideas are completely inline with the state. Wtf could he have possibly done?

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He is the kind of person that has extreme delusions of grandeur, I doubt there is anything to this at all. Right wingers love to think they're subversive.

Since it's Scott Adams I would bet something pedophilic.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 years ago

He's just having an episode

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 years ago (10 children)

I'm guessing he might be doing what John McAfee did

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago

From your lips to god's ear

Nsfl but

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Possibly, but I was referring to (cw self-harm)

spoilerhim making a big show of saying he's not suicidal and the government is after him, and then killing himself.

He wouldn't get asylum, as he lacks the threat to his body. Being so rich that you can move to pretty much any country and live there forever isn't asylum.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 years ago

hahaha what a goober

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I can't give you details, but this is a good time to tell you that instead of a brain there's just an extra butthole where the brain usually goes

I suspect that that solipsistic cryptofascist creep is going to be cruising for a harem in a sexpat-exploited part of the world very soon. libertarian-alert

Scott Adams's child mentorship program for aspiring underaged minors, where he'll share his skill stack behind closed doors

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago

More like Doofus.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago

Yes, fuck off and die

What kind of tryhard puts an unironic brain in their avatar?

It's like that one tryhard that titles himself "The Alpha Male" in his profile. SAD!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago
