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.

Those watches are neat now. I didn't like when they were gimmicky step counters, but having cardiac feedback and a life alert button is good peace of mind since I usually ride alone. I don't have any special pants yet beyond wearing a fleece layer below 0C. Those would be nice for hip and knee impacts. The big leg injury you risk though is the bike tipping over onto you, called Lime Leg in the UK. I don't know if there are padded pants that reinforce your femur and lower leg bones.

Cool thanks again for putting this info out on here and also explaining the wherefore behind it. Like you said in your other reply, any bone that doesn't get broken is worth it.
