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.

I dont daydream. I do have a very vivid imagination and imagine different fantastical scenarios in my head before going to bed or while awake in bed. Like for example im an Alien and make first contact with the DPRK.

i used to do this too. stupid early shifts basically forced me to start using cannabis or whatever for rapid sleep induction. when i can take my time going to sleep i go with ASMR videos instead now.

it really sucks i miss it it's like i've lost a portion of my brain. i can still do a sort of lesser intensive scenerio based thinking when at work as meditation but only if i'm properly medicated for my ADHD

I do not daydream of magic TERF Island.

I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Call me a reactionary, but this seems bad.

It does seem to be an escapist reaction to worsening conditions. Retreating inward because the real world is becoming hopeless. It cannot be healthy, but I'm loathe to blame them because society at large is so toxic.

Meh, this goes well beyond that. I'll blame a bunch of first worlders on wallowing and accepting the status quo through their non-action.

You might be right. It's unrelated, but for whatever reason your reply has made me realize I've been in an extreme doomer funk for months now
