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!

yea the facts and data are quite unfair to them.
this is like one degree removed from the '15% of the population, 40% of the crime' dogwhistle redditors love to do
The correlation sure isn't pretty, the causation is significantly less clear
nah it's pretty clear. Many kinds of dogs bite, people like to always mention chihuahuas bite the most, but im pretty sure nobody has died or been mangled by a chihuahua. i know someone who took in a cane corso from a shelter, he has a huge scar on his arm. i knew someone recently decided(stupidly) to get a pit bull when they have two cats. The pit bull was chasing the cats, so they got rid of it. Pit bulls are great if you dont have kids or other pets.
