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.

Nepal was never actually colonised (although a token amount of land was ceded to us) they actually gave us such a thrashing we were thoroughly impressed, so as soon as we signed a treaty (mainly to save face) part of our agreement was to actually have Nepali soldiers fight for us as they were so deadly and efficient, that's why to this day you have Gurkhas in the British army and they're still known as one of the toughest elite units in the world.

Famously during the Falklands war an Argentinian garrison surrendered after hearing that Gurkhas were on their way lol or an after action report from Burma during world war two where they slaughtered an entire Japanese patrol with nothing but kukhris without a single casualty.

EDIT: Gurkha who fought off 30 Taliban and after running out of ammunition began battering them with the machine gun tripod

"We never colonized them, we just tried to kill them for their land, then got some of their land and turned them into a fighting force for out military, totally not colonization"
