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.

i thought it would be about SA, instead it's about how feynman was a tall tale teller telling cringe fake & misoginistic stories. but maybe he didn't even do that as much and it's mostly embellishments by his bros.

this was great, very refreshing talk about misogyny and arrogance in physics, also I had no idea none of Feynman's books were actually by Feynman

Interesting, I'd already done a physics degree before I became familiar with him, and I only read his "auto"biography after being suckered in by his reputation, but the one thing that really stayed with me from the book was his attitude that you should work solving physics problems because you enjoy it regardless of the consequences, and the outside world doesn't matter at all - clearly and not-so-subtly in regard to his work on the atomic bomb. Which even then, before I had any kind of actual political understanding, really rubbed me the wrong way, especially since this guy was apparently such an important and lauded person.

So the fact his reputation and legend is wildly exaggerated and he was actually just an asshole puts that to rest for me.

Finally finished it. It's a really good, thorough, and fair video.

Much like the man himself these stories about him didn't age very well.
