Saw the post about nerve pain for the foot, so I thought I’d shared what I use to help combat back pain and sciatica.

Thanks, I’ve got ankylosing spondylitis, so I should definitely give this a try. Nothing will eliminate my back pain, but maybe it will help with some mobility.

Stuart McGills books and lectures are the gold standard with regards to back pain, much better than stuff on YouTube. I’d suggest pirating them. As well as strengthening the major muscles in the back without spinal flexion, so pull ups with a neutral spine. The McGill pull up is amazing. But it takes a long time to build up the strength to do a pull up. However, pull ups should be avoided or treated with care if you have any compression injuries, and avoid hunching over at all times.

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.
