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.

One of my siblings is going to school once a week, I think lockdowns definitely fried some brains.

Average rent, 2000: $602

Average teacher salary, 2000: $41,807

Median house price, 2000: $119,600

Months to save difference between recommended housing budget (30% of gross) and rent to afford 20% down-payment:

(119600*.2)/((41807/12)*.3-602) = 54. If your 5-year plan is to have a house, you get there 6 months early (not really; teachers start at a lower wage)

Average rent, 2023: $1372

Average teacher salary, 2023: $66,745

Median house price, 2023: 430,300

Same calculation:

(430300*.2)/((66745/12)*.3-1372) = 290.

It's far harder to let some asshole kid push you over the edge when you're on the path to home ownership versus when that's either never going to happen or decades away.
