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!

Something that makes you annoyed as hell when it really shouldn't, or something that makes you feel like a nerd for getting annoyed at it.

I'll start with a combination of the two: When people call chiptune music "bitcrunch"

When people say that one thing is 'exponentially greater' than another thing, when there are only two points to compare.

Also, and, unfortunately, this applies to many, many people and their works, including academic and semi-academic ones, - not defining their terms. In particular, this applies to many philosophers in general, it seems, as well as Marx, Lenin (unless we count them among philosophers), etc.
On that note, if anybody is curious about what cases of that I could point to in works on socialist theory, I can oblige, especially if one would be able to help me by either citing sources of definitions for those terms, or showing how one could decipher what exactly an author meant.
