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!

I don't know whether to blame this on reddit, toxic masculinity, or plain old British culture, but it seems that men on the internet will take absolutely anything as a sign of weakness, which means you don't deserve their help.

If you don't know the answer, just say so, don't be a little bitch about it and tell me to give up.

Can't believe I made an account for this.

Some time ago, before all the machine-written articles took over, if you tried to google for just about any cooking advice in my native language, you would always get a forum thread where the first three comments were old men berating the OP for even daring to ask the question, as if everyone was just born with the knowledge of how many potatoes go into a soup

Insist on the wrong answer so that they feel like they must correct you.

True honestly I need to utilise this hack more

The Stackoverflow Method.

Is that google's motto?

I had to leave Reddit because it muddied my perception of humanity. They really will turn even the most trusting person into a misanthrope, and they don't even try to. That's just the way Redditors are. It's in their nature just like fish swimming, squirrels climbing trees, and pigeons flying.

Scrolling r/all is like mainlining contempt.

I used to scroll r/all all the time before the API debacle and I thought it was okay until I saw it without my massive filter list I'd been building for almost a decade.

Yeah it gets ok after about a year of blocking subs which suck more than average, but I deleted my account after getting sucked into one to many stupid arguments and now going on raw r/all just instantly fills me with a mix of anger and despair.

I accidentally pressed r/all and it immediately made me alt-f4 because jesus fucking christ.

its so funny that when I first found reddit in 2011 I was always frustrated by how fucking positive everyone was all the time, even if it was a LARP

Sounds like the majority of men in the American South. First time I ever heard that liking to cook or bake meant you were gay according to them

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago (1 children)

No one wants you to know this, but your high school home ec class made you gay.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Mine didn't work :( I didn't become gay NOR get a gf...

But I can make a delicious batch of cheddar biscuits so I got that going for me
