Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

I realized I was missing people to argue with and got a lot more argumentative even when it wasn't necessary, my friends like me again now that I can let out my frustrations on people I don't know (and who have way worse arguments)

Unironically it's been fun I missed our ML/grad friends as well as when libs try to start a fight with us and end up getting dog piled lol

[–] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 27 points 2 months ago

ML/grad friends can't be understated, I just missed yelling at libs

There's something wholesome about a pig shitting on its balls. We don't see it enough without refederation.

[–] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's just natural (and scientific), if you hate pigs you hate 98% of the people

[–] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

and I don't mean cops

And we need a discussion about rats

The lack of worm discourse from hexbear tankies is VERY telling

The only worms I know escaped Cuba because they were killing the slave owners

ecoterrorist Get a vermicomposter and some red wigglers now. It's fun.

My Maoist standard English is clearly lacking, what the fuck are you talking about?

https://www.amazon.com/Arcadia-Garden-Products-WN55-Vermicomposting/dp/B0BWZXXCJC This style is cheap and can be kept in your kitchen where it doesn't smell. It composts up to 1lb of kitchen scraps per week and turns it into rich fertiliser. The little ecosystem that evolves inside is way more interesting than any ant farm.

https://unclejimswormfarm.com/order-stuff/composting-worms/ Red wigglers are one of the species of worms that are bred for composting. Ideally you have a mix of worms because they have different roles, but red wigglers on their own are good generalists. The only things they can't break down are dairy, fats, meats, and acidic produce.

This was honestly one of the funniest baits I've seen on this site

[–] miz@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

@Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net I know you agree. none of us should fear the worm. the worm will make us stronger

[–] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

The Worm loves us. It will always love us, and thus it always has.

Arguing is an important part of life satisfaction for some many of us, and it really gets a bad rap.

[–] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago

Especially when the only people who don't get yelled at are wrong

[–] imogen_underscore@hexbear.net 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

i've been having a ball so far, the german free speech guy on db0 was a hoot

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Missed that, what happened?

[–] imogen_underscore@hexbear.net 29 points 2 months ago (4 children)

this was the thread, guy got permabanned though https://hexbear.net/post/4514097 "left leaning moderate" free speech guy turned out to hate women, shocker. i find it funny that they tempbanned me for death threats which i didn't make at all, i just put a curse on the guy. thank god for hexbear, couldn't be dealing with a "civility!" type space like that.

Lol you got a 5-day ban for that? Really?

I get code of conduct and all but saying you think Nazis should get the wall is acceptable speech IMHO

That was a funny ass curse, worth it.

[–] miz@hexbear.net 19 points 2 months ago (4 children)

okay but have you considered [argument based on unconscious white supremacy and unexamined ideology]

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago

Look I'm not saying [thing], I'm just saying [the exact same thing]

[–] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

[–] huf@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago
