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
They might be playing 4D chess and thinking spelling it phonetically is the only way to keep it comprehensible to the hogs who are driving right by.
Probably misspelled it to get dems to share it.
Yep the reverse Nigerian Prince email
Alright, I'm being a pedant, but how is "dimensia" any more phonetic than "dementia"? If anything "dimensia" is less phonetic since all the common -sia words are pronounced /-ʒə/ and all the common -tia words are pronounced /-ʃə/. The "dimensia" spelling is influenced by "dimension", but that's not strictly the same as being phonetic.
I guess what I meant is the -sh sound is likely to be known across more reading levels than the -tia sound because it comes up earlier in reading education. The first spelling, when sounded out, more readily reproduces "dementia" as the remedial reader has heard it ambiently
