I don’t know why, but looking at the picture of the pod makes me very uncomfortable. There’s a certain uncanniness to it, like you’re looking at a picture of an SCP, or something that you shouldn’t be looking at, something that violates some unspoken law of nature.

It’s a device with the sole purpose of facilitating the death of the person inside. It’s not a gun, whose sole purpose is to destroy, but can also be used to defend oneself. This is an image of death in its purest expression, and yet it looks like a ship from F-Zero. It’s a Maserati for dying. The ultimate product, in every sense. This is the end goal of capitalism, to turn even death into an expression of luxury.

Having a Carl Sagan quote on the side is oddly demonic too, I know redditors used to get annoying about him like 10 years ago but I feel he wouldn’t have signed off on this shit.

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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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
