Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

Xiaomi (yes, the phone maker) built a prototype car that is setting Nürburgring track records (www.youtube.com)

Xiaomi doing some clickbait saying it’s the fastest 4-door car… quite misleading. It’s a race car.

However, this is still a remarkable achievement. China stay winning

All the photos of the car on track and in the official marketing materials show it running on Pirelli slicks. The only really wet part was foxhole, which is why the driver lifted through there, in a car with this level of performance that entire section is usually taken flat out.

This prototype also has a diffuser and front splitter that would never pass a roadworthy test, which makes sense given the downforce numbers claimed at over 2000kg of downforce. The body is also full carbon fibre, the interior is stripped out and there's a roll cage. It's basically a full on race car. The road legal non prototype version is probably aiming for a lap time of around under 7:10, and hopefully aiming to break the production EV record of 7:05.
