Oh yeah, I’m doing a Colonial dinner tonight! Looking forward to bark salad, boiled bone chips, and a nice soot pie.

That’s a really condescending attitude. Poor people the world over have managed to make very little go very far. In fact that’s how you get some of the best food.

Uhh, I was specifically making fun of colonists from the 1800’s? The video is about a recipe from land grabbing white people.

Reconnecting with the products of your labor and enjoying nature is fascist and the more bread you bake the more fascister it is

I love this video because you think it’s going to be some grand recipe but they literally just stick an onion into the oven like it’s a potato and it looks fucking amazing

Exactly, I always liked onions, but I’d never tried them like this. I couldn’t believe how ridiculously simple this “recipe” was, I tried it, and was blown away. I could literally have this as my whole meal, and I’d be satisfied, it’s incredibly simple and good.

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.
