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!

edit: think i must have been thinking of spez when i mentioned his brainworms lol

Wanted to make money? We had a tool for that: It was called "LABOR"

"Yes please give me ZERO OF SOMETHING. Please give me a LITERAL THOUGHT" - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged

LOOK at what capitalists have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the laws & protections we built for them

"Hello I would like [detailed diagram] apples please"

They have played us for absolute fools
