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!

biology: science about living organism

geology: science about rocks

entomology; science about insects

anthropology: science about human societies/cultures

astrology: magic that says stars influence humans, not in the sense of giving directions, but dictate personality from birth.

When these things were named astrology was considered as valid a form of knowledge as any other.
