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!

A redditor made a post complaining that a creepy lollypop man is always looking through their window. The other redditors didn't believe it and were making jokes like "Is there lollypop man in the room with you right now?" Then one asked "Is your house built on an ancient Indian burial ground?" And other replied "An ancient lollypop man burial ground."

UK crossing guards have a stop sign on a stick that sort of looks like a lollipop.
