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.

powerscaling: barry bonds without a baseball bat vs 0.9c pitch

[–] WhyEssEff@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

this is a hit by pitch, which would ultimately result in yet another walk for the batless barry bonds bois-presentation

It's more me adding emotes immediately as I notice vacancies lol, I just got really into Jon Bois content recently and I did the bit and then looked for an emote-worthy screencap

Oh dang I didn't know he started making vids. This is genuinely a good format for What Ifs. I used to read these back in the day and even sent him a few questions.

I can do that. I just haven't yet. Consider yourself lucky that I haven't wanted to do this yet

Little known fact: On April 2, 1931, 17-year-old Jackie Mitchell of the Chattanooga Lookouts struck out Babe Ruth with a baseball traveling at 86% of the speed of light. The ensuing fireball led to immense destruction, and Commissioner of Baseball Kenesaw Mountain Landis voided her contract as a result. No woman has been allowed to play baseball since.

Expanse spoilersLike when Marco Inaros figured out he could just skip buying weapons and started hurling rocks at Earth, no need for a nuke.

Heinlein was the first writer to use the idea iirc (the moon is a harsh mistress)
