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!

It's disturbing how even left-leaning YouTubers try to weave in ad plugs. (hexbear.net)

It's like I can feel myself detach from whatever topic I'm listening to as I expect it to be a lead up for Raid Shadow Legends.

It's like I'm gonna disengage from serious things because I'm just waiting to see how they are going to ask for money.

I get it's to keep engagement, but it's doing the opposite. I don't want you to slip between conversation into a commercial like that's not creepy as fuck. It's like the Truman show, but nobody's even watching you. I dunno, it's not fun out here.

What's that one about? I'm not going back to his channel to watch it.

The basic premise is "if you have a lightbulb and a switch separated by a light-second long wire, how long does it take the lightbulb to light up?" The real answer is obviously one second, but if the lightbulb is near the switch, it will receive a very small amount of charge from the electromagnetic field of the wire as soon as you turn it on, so technically it'll receive like 1% of the power immediately and 99% once the electricity makes it down the wire.
