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.

It sounds like the chargers aren't working properly which is a PITA when you need to charge. That said it's funny how this makes the news when EVs have the rare malfunction, but the 4-5 ICE vehicles I saw broken down today didn't make the news.

It's a funny meme that EVs explode, but if you look at the statistics for the USA it goes (from most fires to less): ICE cars, hybrids, then EVs.

In 2020:

  1. Internal Combustion fires: 199,533
  2. Hybrid (Partially Electric) fires: 16,051
  3. Battery Electric: 52

idk what the 2023 stats are but it's probably similar

Its not really a funny meme, EV car fires are impossible to firefight. As soon as it starts the car is toast, that shit is going to burn and its going to burn hotter than any ICE fire. Its a class D fire so the only real way to extinguish it is smothering with dry powder (sand) and creating a glass vacuum around it which is fine for a bike battery but impractical for car.
