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!

Reddit-brained liberals try to compose sentences without passive-aggressive sarcastic openers challenge. Difficulty level: Reddit.
Go check their history:
"I've been trying to block this community of [r word] cause I keep coming here by mistake, but I can't find the option in Voyager. I keep falling for these stupid troll posts. I mean, people are actually trying to convince me that apartments are better."
Driverless cars are better than meatbag cars acktually
"I agree. NFTs are stupid in their current state, but once VR becomes more immersive, more affordable, and less cumbersome, suddenly they’ll start making a lot more sence."
Imagine bragging about a 15 year old Reddit account
Unhinged suburbanite threatening an even more unhinged suburbanite
When I talk about bazinga brains, this is the kind of post I want to have listed as a dictionary example of the term.
The idea of enforcing scarcity onto inherently nonscarce digital "goods" is one of the purest expressions of capitalist brainworms
The cryptogrifters assume that their internet funny money will automatically sell and build castles in the sky by planning for how to exploit that automatic success and enshittify it before it even exists.
In my more conspiracy-brained moments, I sometimes think NFTs are a plot to get people to accept DRM by buying into it in the same way homeownership got people to buy into capitalism in the US and UK.
I mean homes at least have use value but for people who don't know what that is I see your point
The goal was to tokenize everything instead of having privacy.
"Web3" has been a long rancid wet fart so far.
This one gets around a lot for some reason, and even evidence to the contrary is "this will only make the bazingamobiles better, one death at a time!"
Guess what's actually cool, safe, and easy to make driverless? Trains.
Techbros crave Rube Goldberg style tech solutions to solved problems because the Rube Goldberg style tech solutions can make them richer and sound more le epic.
Also they hate other people, particularly those with less money or more melanin than themselves, and are loathe to share a room with them.
They'd rather fantasize about escaping into space to get away from the poors and other undesirables.
that last one is just terrifying
are Americans okay?
