Sechseckiger Bär would be the correct translation for hexagonal bear.

Realistically, you could just translate it to “Hexbär” because German also has the “hex-” prefix to indicate the number six. Otherwise I’d also go with “Sechsbär.”

With regards to what @ReadFanon@hexbear.net said: In English, witches hex stuff. If a witch hexes a bear, it is now a hexed bear. That doesn’t work quite as well in German because while the word for witch is Hexe, the verb is “verhexen”. So instead of “a hexed bear”, you end up with “ein verhexter Bär.”

nice try

Hasan should look for funding to start a new platform that’s invite only.

Hell yeah, it’s 2005 again.

0% chance this happens but it would be cool.

Does the average Chinese really eat over a kilogram of vegetables each day though? Especially considering they also eat fair amounts of meat, noodles and ofc rice. Seems like a lot of food.

Kissinger to Prager is a bit of a downgrade but we take those

Actually the humans are indigenous to Pandora and calling them colonizers is bigotry

We appreciate him primarily because he is a large nephew. Him having decent politics is just a bonus.

I’ll be Lysenko. Hmu if you want the good shit.

Bravest and most formidable zionist

First he said come on, Jack and I did not speak out because my name is not Jack

Then he said listen here, fat and I did not speak out because I’m not fat

Then he said afmghafmghan 'scuse me and I don’t know how to finish this bit

Doing a BG3 playthrough as a Githyanki cause I thought it’d give some interesting interactions but all the Githyanki-specific dialogue options so far have just been militaristic assholery

It’s not my “premium content” and you know very well that’s not what I meant. I specifically agreed that it’s cheap, low-effort content. If you’re gonna be a dipshit, at least be literate.

Sad, but probably for the better. As soon as he returned, he was back to his old power-posting ways. I’ll miss his posts but it seems like he struggled regulating how much time he spent on here.

Closing the dunk/dredge tanks is a futile change. I understand that often times it didn’t exactly produce valuable discourse and I’m sure there were instances of reactionary posts, but “get a load of this lib/chud” is like 50% of hexbear. The dunk tank exists to contain those posts, closing that community will not make those posts go away, it will just make them clutter the other communities or the megathreads. So what if the posts on there are low effort? Who cares? If I want to read actual theory, I’ll pick up a book.

To put it another way: Many of us go on hexbear because getting mad at the same thing together feels cathartic, especially when nobody in our physical surroundings shares our political opinions. We see a dumb tweet by some liberal and we wanna have like-minded folks agree with us that it’s dumb, so we go on hexbear to post it here. That’s what the dunk tank is for and while it’s not very productive and it’s not gonna bring about the revolution, trying to stop these kinds of posts is a losing battle.

I mean, just look at how the dredge tank came to be: Mods didn’t want screenshots of tweets by random nobodies and so they implemented a rule about it, but people wouldn’t stop posting them so the dredge tank was eventually created as a compromise. Because although it might be low-effort and unproductive, dunking on dumb tweets is what the userbase wants and it’s what they’ll keep doing. !gossip@hexbear.net is just gonna become the new dunk tank.

Don’t wanna make a dunk/dredge tank post for this but just saw this zionist bs on my timeline and wanted to rant about it

What’s wrong with Mehdi Hasan, man? The guy clearly has some principles so why is he still such a huge lib?

I don’t think either Kamala or Trump believe in much of anything but I do think the Republicans are straight-up cartoon villains and more evil than the Dems. Not because the Dems are good, they’re horrible, the Republicans are just that comically vile.
