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!

This is more 2010s but I want to say rage comics, yet we can’t seem to rid the culture of that completely we just rebranded to wojaks or whatever
Computers having hard drives that failed every few years or would break after a drop or bump. SSDs are a godsend for more than just speed.
I haven’t been exposed to shitty reactionary nationalist slop music in a long time, I recall Bush having a weird cult of country and rock songs about how great he was and how America kicks ass or whatever. I know that still exists and Trump has some white “hip hop” sycophants slobbing his knob but I will pretend that doesn’t exist because it doesn’t get the same mainstream exposure.
General shittiness to marginalized groups seems less accepted today (but is making a comeback). Growing up even “socially progressive” figures would make jabs at trans people, gay people, mentally disabled people etc as punchlines. I hear that bigoted garbage more now than a few years ago but still far less common than during the aughts
Agreed, especially with the “even socially progressive” part. I remember as a kid in the late 2000s “redneck” was the only clapback against CHUDs. Literally “don’t be racist because racism is for stinky poor people!” That being said, I don’t mind when it’s used tongue-in-cheek like how Trae Crowder calls himself “the liberal redneck” (and he’s been moving more to the left, which is nice.)
