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!

Title. I totaled my car by rear ending another. Luckily nobody was hurt at all, I steered off when I understood I won't be able to stop so it was mostly side-to-side contact, caught between a highway barrier and the other car. It happened 7 hours ago and I am still shaken. It was clearly my fault.

I am privileged to have savings so I am able to cover my expenses for a new car (I need one due to my living situation), but it still sucks a lot.

I just wanted to get this off my chest.

I am just happy that nobody got hurt. Drive safe everybody, and fuck cars

It was clearly my fault.

Yeah, your stopping distance is longer when you gotta pull some person's hair to get them to hit the brakes.

Jokes aside, glad everyone is ok.
