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.

Also this is besides the point, but the quality of brand name sneakers is and always has been shit. There is no incentive for them to make them well, because if you are buying for limited run or brand-name, then if your first pair gets destroyed they know you will just buy another one or the next hype, because you are not a very savvy consumer.

I remember getting my hands on some authenticated 2015 Air Force 1s, while my friend got a knock off, and there was basically zero difference outside of insoles, which I replace anyways. It was my first time getting to compare these products literally side by side, and I have never bought authentic again.

Oh, yeah. I bet he’s going to have a bad back and arthritis when he finishes.

80% of the time I wear this pair of kick off canvas shoes that are junk, but literally cost me like $12 and comfortable from like freezing temps (with thick socks) up to 90°. I've had them for like 4 years.

I used to try and have them to appear correct, but now I think fashion street shoes are an affected absurdity when the streets and paths are smooth, paved and clean.
