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.
Where I am in Canada, the speed limit for ebikes is 32 km/h, which does feel too slow at times especially when riding on the road with cars. I understand the slower speed limit for bike paths that might be shared with pedestrians too. I've heard I can take my Specialized bike to the US and have them program it to the US speed limit (I believe 38 km/h) but that also comes with risks.
I've come to terms with 32kmh as the compromise speed, albeit I try to avoid traffic at all costs and can for 90% of my commute. Even when I've unlocked my commuter bike to 45kmh, it doesn't really get me there faster because I end up being more cautious and slowing down whenever I think I might have to brake at max speed. I still feel slow next to the cars on half our urban roads, but I feel too fast to safely correct/stop/ditch the bike. At 32kmh my reflexes are a lot better and the injury risk of the crash is halved. I can keep the speed consistent while still having enough time to safely stop in 2m. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast in my case.
