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!

I'm sorry but your lathe privileges are suspended for the time being. Nothing personal, it's just your brain is too powerful.

1984

But only figuratively, not literally this time around.

1984 is to Brave New World as Animal Farm is to The Giver

Island is to Brave New World what Dune is to Enders Game.
