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.

Isekais will justify having the protagonist own slaves because "it's realistic" yet never have the protagonist, who is from a modern first-world country, get dysentery from untreated medieval water. (hexbear.net)

This is a misconception, in reality the drinking water is about as safe for you as the cider. Both are riskier than most first worlders are comfortable with

You’re probably right on the second point, but the unboiled drinking water is as safe as the cider/ale? I would expect toxic metals/inorganic compounds, especially in the water near human settlements but I think I would chose that type of poisoning over girardia or dysentery.
