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.

Enjoying the video because this is something that’s been bugging me for a while. There’s actually a related annoying phenomenon, which is to dismiss every talented physicist and mathematician today because “the real geniuses are making bank working for Wall Street or a fang, academia just isn’t competitive” (fucking hate stembros lmao)

The only thing that bothered me so far is a random stray that ed written caught because he apparently accepted a comparison to Einstein, idk, I feel like witten of all people has kind of earned it.

idk dude, einstein had useful ideas. witten is a fields medalist.

Witten did also win the Einstein medal, which Einstein never had so who’s the real genius
