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.

Too fast on an ATV. Swerved to doge a car, got clipped, then tossed down a 350ft cliff and landed on a previously crashed car. packwatch

My dad said a long time ago that ATVs and snowmobiles are really dangerous because they're relatively easy to drive, so many people who have no business riding them get into accidents, and you're kind of screwed in a crash in either vehicle. I think he had a point, critical support to the ATV in this case.

Where I live, a car driver's license allows you to drive small scooters and mopeds. I have ridden those, as well as bigger motorcycles illegally. Let me tell you, nothing you learn driving a car works for when you're on two wheels, even if they're small. Now imagine a much larger engine on a top-heavy piece of machinery and you have an ATV. Even if it has 4 wheels it's not all that stable.

I'm old enough to remember when they came on three wheels instead of four.

I always hated ATVs, since they fuck up forests so bad. I guess I should have thought about the positives.
