Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

Wtf is cancer proton therapy?

[–] fox@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

Instead of chemotherapy, which is taking poison with the hope that the cancer dies first, proton therapy involves shooting high-energy particles at the cancer to kill the cells or otherwise disrupt their ability to multiply. It's an alternative to normal radiotherapy that's much more highly targeted and deposits less radiation into the area surrounding the cancer.

That's photons. Protons are massive particles, in the sense that a double-digit percentage of your weight is proton weight.

Look up 'command and conquer ion cannon'

It's like radiotherapy, but instead of using ionizing radiation, it uses a proton beam from a particle accelerator. The particle beam is much more precise than radiotherapy
