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

MODERATORS
This is literally a boomer Facebook meme. Someone would post it and they would all do the math in diffrent ways and get diffrent wrong answers because they have been out of school long enough to forget it
At least those ones spark a mildly interesting conversation about implicit multiplication and why we have the order of operations. Ian's version is just silly and rather sad
Assuming they ever learned it in the first place, of course.
We all learned it. We have all forgotten plenty of thr stuff we haven't kept up practicing. It is their unwillingness to accept that they could be wrong and lead posion lack of creative thinking that is the mind killer here
I think for many people that is true, but for someone like Ian Cheong I do not give him the benefit of the doubt.
