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!

Two slide whistles.

I don't get things for people related to their hobbies unless they spell it out - I want ABC from XYZ in color 'biscuit'.

Most folks are knowledgeable about their hobbies. They know generally what they'd want, what they don't want/need, what's actually usable, what's overpriced trash, etc. I give gift cards for folks like that and a card/short letter explaining why - you know what you fancy better than I do, and because I care, I want you to have something that you KNOW you will enjoy. So please take this and get that thing you've had your eye on.

Or something like that.
