Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. 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!

Being sick enough typically meant spending the day laying in bed, alternately shivering and burning, drifting in and out of sleep, occasionally puking, and that was still preferable to spending the day at school.

You just gave me a very specific memory of being out with some kinda illness for like a week in 5th grade and spending most of it playing GameCube animal crossing

Playing the Over the Hedge tie-in game while slightly out of it with a fever is one of my core memories.

Bleh, my parents forced me to stare at the ceiling if I was home sick so I wouldn't fake it. I went to school sick a lot
