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.

Xiaomi doing some clickbait saying it’s the fastest 4-door car… quite misleading. It’s a race car.

However, this is still a remarkable achievement. China stay winning

It's on slick tyres and with a fully stripped out interior and carbon fibre body, that's easily worth 40+ seconds of lap time at the Nurburgring Nordschleife. But it also did the lap when some parts of the track were damp, which would've slowed it down through those sections a little. I imagine the road legal version might crack under 7:10 in perfect conditions. My guess is that Xiaomi is aiming to break one, or both, of the electric production car records, at 7:07 for the four door Porsche Taycan, and 7:05 for the Rimac Nevera. This race car prototype also understeers heavily, so there's time to find in the handling and setup. But the time to be found there is limited by the fact that it's an electric car with heavy batteries, so understeer through the low speed is always going to exist at some point.

Still very impressive to essentially be at GT3 race car pace with an electric prototype based on a production car.
