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.

when I buy groceries, sometimes I look around and realize what a weird moment in human history consumer capitalism is. Suddenly I'm peering out of the pages of a history book at some kid in the future, in their room wondering what consumer capitalism was like, what it felt like, amazed that the past was once the present and those were all real people. Now I'm standing there in the grocery store having some kind of Koyaanisqatsi-like out-of-body experience in the cereal isle, because I'm that real person in the past.

The grocery store is a place of many such out-of-body experiences

This is my entire existence. Everything about this period of time seems so fucking ridiculous and I'm embarrassed to be around it
