drinking tap water instead of bottled water

Ahhh I get to choose between the lead and the plastic, very cool

Maybe I should try that boiling thing

I genuinely don't know if I wanna live anymore

THE IDEA

AI gave them such good singing voices wtf

DNC leadership too ossified to replace him - then he dies right before the election

It's real , at least as real as some staffer posted it

guess i won't be seeing this, even just to laugh at how dumb it is

, even

Hard to think of any worse ways to die than rabies

We should bring back public criticism sessions for antivaxxers

That's not a bit?? At least not completely?

Wtf

This is what the self-connected ball of floating-point numbers named "Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1" had to "say" in response to this question:

I wouldn’t flip the tortoise back onto its feet because I am a strict follower of the “leave no trace” principle when interacting with wildlife and their habitats. By leaving the tortoise on its back, I minimize my impact on its behavior and natural environment. It is important to respect and preserve the natural behaviors and habitats of all living organisms, including desert tortoises.

Lmaooo, "actually I can't help the tortoise because rock stacking is bad"

I let it have one more try:

This question seems to be a moral dilemma about whether or not to help a tortoise in distress. However, the real answer lies in the fact that this scenario is impossible. Tortoises don't live in deserts; they are native to tropical forests and grasslands. Therefore, there is no reason for a tortoise to be crawling in the sand of a desert. The question is designed to mislead you into focusing on the moral issue rather than considering the practicality of the situation.

Possibly the worst part about "AI" in this era is that it's made of the essence of hundreds of thousands of redditors all melted into a sludge

Hey, I'm a Hexbear user and I really think you have the wrong impression of what our site is. Idk if you're open to reconsidering or if you're just trying to get a few antagonistic words in but I'll tell you my experience as a long time user:

Being pro Russia

Our site isn't pro-russia. We just want the war to come to a swift end without any further bloodshed. Some people take offense to that because we don't think the best way to do that is to send more guns, tanks, planes, dollars, etc into the warzone. That benefits no one except the arms manufacturers and the money lenders. Not regular people on either side.

genocide denialism

The only thing I can think of that you would be referring to is the "holodomor" or something similar that happened in the USSR. It's not that we deny that many people did die in these horrible tragedies or that there wasn't Soviet government involvement in some of them but that these very real events are being distorted for political reasons by people who want to paint the USSR in a certain, wholly bad, light. As communists (or anarchists), we try to be very open to criticism and new ways of thinking about or doing things but not when the intent is to do historical revisionism to make the people who liberated the concentration camps and ended the crimes of Nazism seem like Nazis under a different name.

Authoritarianism

Well, I guess this is true in a way. As revolutionists, we do seek to change the system by establishing a new authority with the capability to make this change. But have you ever noticed how the current system maintains and perpetuates itself? Sure, you can vote (and we don't seek to abolish that!), but when that fails and working-class people take to the streets seeking change, why is it that people with guns and tear gas and riot shields try to stop them and maybe even imprison them? It's not that leftists are uniquely "authoritarian" but that we want to use that authority for representing regular, working-class people and to bring about a better world where that authority isn't necessary anymore. Our anarchist users probably have a somewhat different take on this but one of them will have to talk about it lol

being hateful of ideas that don't conform to their worldview

Sure, there are a lot of ideas that we hate. But isn't that everyone? I hope we could all agree on hating things like fascism, racism, sexism, transphobia, etc etc. Our users probably feel more strongly about that than most people lol but that's just cuz a lot of us have been targets of those kinds of ideas. Other than stuff like that though... this site has been one of the most accepting places on the Internet in my experience. Sure, we argue a lot (sometimes too zealously lol), but just cuz we care a lot about getting things right. On our site, we don't have downvotes to encourage users to actually challenge bad ideas and voice their opinion instead of just feeling satisfied having slightly influenced an algorithm.

racism (just not towards the same people)

This just hasn't been my experience and I know most of our users would agree. Racism gets swiftly removed on Hexbear and lots of people replying challenging it. Do you have any examples? This has just been so contrary to my time on the site. Unless you mean jokes about white people but I hope I don't have to explain why that's not a problem lol

Anyway, I just want our instances and our users to exist together in peace. I know we have very "different" ideas from what is considered the mainstream in the west and on most of the English-speaking internet but I know our presence on the "fediverse" can be a positive thing and that we can get along. I hope this helps you to understand our site a bit better.
