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!

Something that makes you annoyed as hell when it really shouldn't, or something that makes you feel like a nerd for getting annoyed at it.

I'll start with a combination of the two: When people call chiptune music "bitcrunch"

Here, that would mean long strips that you wrap around something. Bandaids are the little ones with the sticky bit.

No one says Kleenex for tissue here though. Or hoover for vacuum cleaner.

Tupperware gets used for multi-use food safe box with a lid.

Trying to think of others, nothing feels quite as extreme as South USs "coke" for fizzy sweet drink

I think the one that peeves me a little is "D&D" for "RPG". Please play a different RPG

oh that won't necessarily fix anything. my friends also refer to our call of cthulhu and paranoia games as "playing dnd" - it really has started to mean any rpg in the same way that "photoshop" just means any photo editing
