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

Damn this emote goes hard

Yes if Joe just references the Dark Brandon meme, he'll lock up that Skibidi demographic of 12-14 year-olds and win.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 2 years ago

Haven't seen anyone under 30 using the Dark Brandon meme.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 years ago

Please Dark Brandon call Trump a tankie so I can fire off a fire tweet

[–] [email protected] 36 points 2 years ago (2 children)

bro they're calling him a genocidal warmonger on every corner of tiktok they don't give a single fuck about your shitty meme. do liberals think college kids are fucking stupid?

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

do liberals think college kids are fucking stupid?

Lanyard liberals are convinced that they are the Adults In The Room that Make The Hard Decisions and Get Shit Done, just like in their treats. Anyone that disagrees with their position must not be an Adult In The Room that Makes The Hard Decisions and Gets Shit Done. smuglord

He got elected on an ice cream meme

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago

he ogt elected because people were anti-trump

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

he got elected on lesser evilism and people naively hoping for a few good things like student debt relief

Also the ice cream meme was a gen x/boomer thing and Trump was the always the candidate with more personality and meme material

Genocide? More like JOE-icide! Am I right, fellow kids?

the 2024 slogan is literally Finish The Job

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

Wait, for real?!?! Are they that tone deaf or just evil??? I already know the answer is Yes

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

I thought you had to be joking, so I googled it. You were not joking. It sounds like a punchline!!!?!?!?! wtf

kids don't watch debates, they'll maybe catch a clip if someone does something really, really stupid and bad.

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

Next debate to have Subway Surfers on picture-in-picture to cater to zoomers

The president looks concerned. "I wonder - does anybody else smell burning rubber?"

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Eh young people definitely do watch at least some highlights of debates. I was in high school during the 2020 debates (we had hybrid learning after some point in lockdown so almost half the school was in person), and my teacher had to shush several kids in our physics class because they kept talking and laughing about it

Similar experience during the dem debates, all my friends and everyone in my classes seemed to be clowning on Biden and Buttigieg and rooting for Bernie (my asshole history teacher even called a couple girls in our class naive socialists for saying they liked Bernie)

Correct, but for all the wrong reasons. : (

Pssht. Sounds like those girls aren't The Adults In The Room that Make The Hard Decisions and Get Shit Done. smuglord

I thought Biden already tried to appropriate the Dark Brandon meme. He squandered it to waffle about working with the Republicans.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 years ago (1 children)

"I want my republicans friends to know the Dark Brandon stuff is just for show. We need to do the work of the American people. And I need the youth vote - haha. Workin' together is key. Just today - Representative Larry Luftwaffe (R-Alabama) presented some legislation he hopes will get bipartisan support involving trans rights, gay people adopting babies, and black Americans voting."

"Due to his strong white Christian fundamentalist beliefs - he's against all those things. But I'm sure we can hash out a compromise with our friends across the aisle! We're the United States of America - gosh darn it. You know what I say. There's nothing we can't do if we do it together."

I choose to believe this isn't a bot

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

They're certainly not a top-use-words

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

the [wordone]_[wordtwo][intString] usernames certainly look very suspect. I'm more inclined to think it's dudes posting from a US military base rather than bots, but that's really just a gut feeling

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Oh that's the username generator on reddit.

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

When that shit got introduced I didn't know initially, and wondered why suddenly everyone had bot usernames...

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago

You know, I loved my Dark Brandon Rises trailer audio I worked so hard on for 30 minutes. But I don't think I can love it anymore

but still morally centered

And where is that morality centered? honk

And where is that morality centered? big-honk

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

My morality is centered around enabling genocide

I prefer "99% Hitler"
