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 know this is gonna sound weird, considering, but is there any kind of reason for the obsession with owls on hexbear outside of them being incredibly interesting and adorable? Like a symbolic thing?

(Without going into too much detail and doxxing myself, I use the name owl because it's the English translation of my actual name, so I am surprised to see it all over the place here)

There's no deep meaning behind the owl spam, we just started posting owls as a bit because they're funny little guys and it got a bit out of control lol

Thank you for helping me understand, I am fully prepared to accept this way of life

Idk comrade owl, but from what I've seen so far, I think we all really like owls. And people like @Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net keep us informed and interested in them floppy-owl

They are very interesting, so that makes perfect sense. Well, I'll chip in.

Like all birds, owls are dinosaurs. I have spent an inordinate amount of my lifespan imagining what an owl would look like as a prehistoric therapod.

I was happy to discover that Prehistoric Planet included a rendition of just such a thing, with their interpretation of mononykus.

The owl posting will continue until morale improves.
