    During the cultural Revolution, the Chinese army adopted a pistol with a smaller caliber because constant use of the standard issue was causing wrist injuries to the executioners.

      I’d like to see the hexbear replies to this. Did they defederate with .world yet? Or they can still read this and reply in their echo chamber?

        World defederated from hexbear a while ago. Not sure if that means they stop seeing world by default or if they just can’t participate, but at the very least you and I won’t see them here.

        This is misinformation. The Soviets preferred making you a slave unpaid intern in the mining industry.
