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.

Been thinking about the fat phobia struggle thread from a few days ago. Came across this video which gave a lot of “food for thought” about the systemic causes of obesity today. Food is engineered to be highly addictive, tweaking the interaction with all senses. Capitalism is a driving reason for the competition over our stomachs. This should occupy a larger part of standard leftist discourse due to its ubiquity and its ease of appearing natural and inoffensive.

This is where I think active dietary restrictions make for interesting challenges towards forming new habits. I was only a vegan for one year, but trying to do that forced me to learn how to cook Indian food because that's basically the most common cuisine that can be made vegan without too many drastic changes and still tastes amazing. I worked at an American grill restaurant in the Midwest and everything was either brown or white and basically unseasoned, so I made an arbitrary decision to try cooking with as many variously colored ingredients as possible and that too proved to be a fun experiment. Idk life is too short to just eat the same processed crap all the time
