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.

I'm super happy with my Bianchi's Bosch mid-drive motor compared to my Aventon's. It's maybe half as loud, which is nice for not scaring animals at a higher speed and hearing more birdsong, and will reliably last for twice as long. The more naturalistic feel of a mid-drive is nice, with it just feeling like the bike is an extension of my legs instead of a moped I can pedal, but the throttle with a rear-hub is really useful. It's there when I don't want to pedal, when I need to crawl over ice with my legs down, when I'm awkwardly weighted down, when I feel sick, and when I need to start at a green light with a car waiting to turn. I get a lot more utility from that cheaper and more inefficient motor.
