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!

Before Youtube, Twitch and TikTok you had no choice but to watch reruns of old shows on TV

If that is true then i must regretfully stop staning the human species.

I recall x-files being very popular with normal people. David and Gillian were considered two of the most beautiful people alive, the show mixed up stale police procedurals with light horror and supernatural elements. I think it had a good time slot.
