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 chapos. Wreckers/CHUDs are allowed. If they aren't banned yet then report them, don't post them.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Nature, one of the premier scientific research publishers, apparently has a fiction section. From what I can tell they're publishing a bunch of short stories by one SR Algernon (who, and contain your shock, moonlights as a sinistral pugilist).

Anyway, this story is a take on the fungal zombie subgenre except it's completely void of wit, creativity, insight, or uniqueness of voice, and I want scientists to just take one damn humanities class so pablum like this doesn't make it to print.
