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!

Or a really big star ship?

Like one with REALLY nice facilities and services, maybe not a full blown holo-deck cuz that'd sorta defeat the purpose of a hypothetical. Like it could even have some domed gardens and stuff but nothing quite big enough to fully trick you into thinking you were on a planet surface.

IDK if I could, I like the outdoors, but it would also basically be like living in the most walkable city ever.

No. No way. One of my measures of a city is if I can pick a direction on a street and just go for any significant stretch of time. And that street being lively and engaging requires its own economy and also I'd be really bummed if that was the only street or even only city. So I'd need a whole lot of cities with their own supporting economies and histories etc. so we end up taking the whole planet with us.

Long story short, leave me home. Where are you even going?
