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!

Well folks, I found an IRL cat hater!

Genuinely took me off guard when she said that.

She also snarled in disgust when I showed her a picture of one of the sweet heart strays in my neighborhood.

.....Probably coming off as a fake post, but no, I'm being serious!

As a child, I had bad experiences with cats and dogs, I declared them nasty and gross for many many years. I would've been described a 'hater'.

As I grew up, I had good experiences with cats and dogs, I now like them.

Perhaps peoples' opinions on things are reflective of their life experiences and not some core revelation about a person's soul.
