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.

People don't talk enough about how having children is a privilege that the rich enjoy. Yes, you can have kids and be poor (and many do, no hate to our parent comrades), but it costs so much money to have children and if you do it whilst being poor you have to sacrifice so much that would be absolutely nothing to a rich family.

And then rich parents do shit like end pandemic protections because they're sick of their kids being at home all the time

Anyone else remember how "having kids you can't afford" was apparently the root of all social ills for several decades?

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 11 points 3 months ago

I remember that all over the TV.

"Oh you can't afford it" " oh you don't have time between your 2 jobs" "Oh you don't have a a big enough space" " then don't have kids"x3 So all of us growing said yeah legit Now they all surprise pikachu face.
