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.

There's bound to be consequences to gooning, especially when it involves percussive blows to the head from pipe wrenches, baseball bats, and other improvised weapons during turf warfare against other crime bosses. And that's before getting into injuries suffered from fancy toys thrown by billionaires wearing costumes.

I was just having a dumb comvo with the wife while she was playing arkham city about why goons would work for supervillains at all, and if we were gonna goon which villians would be best. Among the villians of that game it seems they'll all kill you for no reason so she picked poison ivy to be an eco-terrorist and i picked joker because of all the arts and crafts id get to do behind the scenes. I think he's got the most panache and creativity. With all the sets he needs built and face-painting and such there must be room for a non batman-facing art department gig

Working for the Penguin wouldn't be that different than the DNC, really. pete

It is funny to think about the actual labor that goes into this stuff. Like do you think bruce wayne spent a month hanging off the bridge support painting his symbol in some kind of water-resistant flammable chemical? No, it must have been his invisible art department.

I thought that was henching, we really need to sort out these terms

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Henching involves edging even closer to costumed supervillains. That has its own occupational dangers, especially if they fail for the last time.

No fap and the whole new age mystical sex retention nonsense is a cancer on society.

Literally a cancer in terms of prostate cancer

I've heard it turns you blind, makes your palms hairy and causes insanity and moral degradation

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 25 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think with anything sexual there's a tendency for many people to either overstate or understate the effects, and to some extent reverse cause and effect — that because of the taboo around sex that people can't think about sex with a cool head. Like I listen to HealthyGamer's concerns about gooning, and to me it doesn't really seem like there is much of anything fundamentally new or inherently bad about it, that the main problem with gooning is really just the context it exists within of this whole patriarchal masculinity in service of capitalism. Take that context away and all you're really left with in gooning is a specific way of getting yourself off, which might cause harm under certain conditions or when done in excess, but like, you can say the same about most things.

Goon jokes aside, there's this peculiar ch!n culture phenomenon where "nofap" cultists take the worst ideas of "nofap" and combine them with the worst aspects of ch!nlord porn fixations and brag about watching the most violent and cruel SV shit imaginable while holding off or sometimes outright denying themselves orgasms to "increase their power level" and that sounds like an especially fucked up kind of gooning that sounds like they're simmering their brains in serotonin while not even giving themselves the courtesy of flushing it away so they're basically deep-frying their brains with aggression and distorted and fantastical standards to get themselves off.

Dr Professor Lobster, Esq. PhD MD would cry crocodile tears of joy about that because he believes more aggression = gooder. peterson-sus

Awww fuck what the hell is “gooning”

Shit fuck this is another internet thing that I don’t get. I’m getting old, can’t deny it any longer

[–] buh@hexbear.net 25 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I tried to ask copilot this question just to see what it would say and it started actually answering it correctly but once it was about a sentence and a half in, it immediately replaced all the text with "let’s try a different topic" he-laughed

if you really want to know (from what I know)it's basically edging for an extended period, sometimes for multiple hours)

[–] Hohsia@hexbear.net 21 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Great! Presumably used in the context of pron and another thing destroying brains that we’ve collectively turned into a meme along with microplastics

Death to western society as always

The serious gooners will have "goon caves" where they have like a 180 degree radius of screens around them with different videos playing.
