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!

The fucking space laser thing is so fucking mind boggling to me. We all grew up knowing a cigarette butt could start a wildfire when it's dry! That has been shared knowledge for the entire lives of everyone alive.
If the Chinese wanted to start a wildfire for ????reasons???? they could send a single tourist with a bic lighter. But no, fictional fucking space lasers. What the fuck?
The tripartite physics deboonk here is kid stuff.
Literal physical meteors, shit from the sun & all over the universe deflects off the atmosphere.
There's no way to get enough energy up there to power something like that. You would need a huge nuclear space station I bet that's still off by orders of magnitude.
