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!

It's pretty much saying "I like to sit in my chair and pretend to be a racecar driver."

Would it be better if they're into rally or F1?

And would it be worse if it was a VR headset or multiple screens?

Nah that's pretty awesome.

Would want to know opinions on walkable infrastructure, but I know a lot of car autistics that hate car centric shit.

Wanting the speedy-go-fast-vroom-vroom feeling, so they buy a simulator, but also take a bus or train to work

A perfect synthesis

Yep, that's me, but I don't know if I'm autistic.

The best way to know if you're autistic is to find someone who is or a group and present yourself for judgement.

We can normally tell. It's like gaydar.

If you know more than 30 cars you might be autistic, sorry, don’t make the rules
