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 personally know the harm worms wriggling around your body can do.

What happened? I don't want to watch a 20 minute video that's probably gonna give me the heebie jeebies. But I still want to know.

A woman was having trouble losing weight and saw some post on Instagram about how tape worms would held shed the pounds like nothing. She used Bitcoin to buy some online and the capsules with the worms in them included two different species, one that stays in your gut that's found in cows and another common in pigs that can travel through tissue. She started getting brain swelling and seizures because they were in her face and the liquid barrier that separates your brain from your skull.

Yeah yeah yeah. Did she lose weight though??

She did lose weight but started to plateau so kept eating more worms.

There's an ouroborous joke in there somewhere.
