Muninn is remembrance. Huginn is thought.

No. They don't map on to those words 1:1, but hugin, hu, is remembering or having something in your thoughts. Or thinking.

Munin is a mind, minding,, or a specific memory.

I know they don't map 1:1, but Huginn is from the noun "hugur" which is "mind", so Hugur is more appropriately thought but not remembrance. Muninn is the noun form of the verb "muna" which is to remember something.

Munin is the origin of the English word mind and the word Minne/Minde which means memory. It covers both thinking and remembering.

Hugin is the origin of the word Hu which is to keep in mind or to remember and the word hige which is desire and the word håg which is thinking, understanding and bearing in mind.

Both words refer to though and memory in different contexts.

I suppose its accurate to say that munin is closer to remebrance while hugin would be more appropriate for bearing in mind or not forgetting, but I feel like that's a distinction without a difference for this purpose.

In any case, we can agree that both Huginn and Muninn will whisper into Odin's ear "Fuck Israel"

Exactly. Whether its remembering that israel sucks, bearing in mind that Israel sucks, or thinking that israel sucks.

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.
