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

yeah, living rural or if I were into hiking, i could see the use.
but being a suburbanite australian like 90% of people here, it just seems so alien to me to actually need to carry a knife
Well, in the late eighties Australian men would frequently flourish knives as a part of a competitive mating ritual in front of the females. After which point the challenged male would exclaim, "That's not a knoife. THIS is a knoife!"and attempt to produce a larger blade. This trend continued until Prime Minister Bob Hawke was grievously wounded by a zweihander after which carrying knives without a permit was banned in Australia
as we all know, Hawkey was actually wasted and mistook it for another yard glass
I wonder if suburbanites do the same thing with knives that they do with pickups and continuously buy knives with larger and larger handles while the size of the blade stays the same
tfw accidentally pommel striking my wife as i take my "pocket knife" out of its scabbard because a homeless man looked at me
What do you open boxes or letters with?
What do you pry the caps off bottles with?
a stanley knife I keep in my cutlery drawer
a bottle opener keyring because I'm an alcoholic australian, otherwise a lighter or the side of a table/plank of wood
Ever since I quit smoking I been opening em with a closed pocketknife the same way.
What about cutting stuff? What do you use to cut stuff?
You find an edge of something you won't damage and use that to pop the lid of course.
letters and boxes you carefully open with your hands without ripping them.
anything, spoons, countertops, other bottles, a key (painful), not teeth, anything except the tool designed for it
I work IT; having a little knife around for boxes or as a screwdriver if you use a multitool type can be surprisingly useful. I don't really do desk visits/onsite anymore, but definitely helped then.
