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!

In the late 2000s there was sort of a proto-meme factoid going around the internet that German has a word, Fremdschämen, that refers to second-hand embarrassment and commenters would say how useful that word was and would speculate what the English equivalent would be. The term cringe appeared a few years later.
