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 feel this existentially, part of it is the sheer absurdity of existence, but part of it is the consequence of social media and doom scrolling.
I find it helpful for myself to take breaks, go for a long walk, or a run, stare into some water, lift something heavy a few times, or make some silly craft with my hands.
Regardless if the whole world is a fascist hellscape, or a communist utopia, we're all going to the same place in the end anyway - our dead bodies decomposing into dirt, so grass and mushrooms can grow out of us and live. And long after that our sun will burn out, and the remains of people grass and mushrooms will be cold minerals floating in the vast emptiness of space. And the universe will slowly entropy, until it forgets anything that ever happened here. Good or bad, all is temporary.
Going out won't magically make you feel all good and okay, but it could help stimulate some of the nice neutrotransmitters and help you feel a little less funk in a very funked up world. Keep being brave, comrade!
Becoming mushroom food sounds lovely. Time to log off
