is a fake country

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.

The point is that "chai", "tea", and "latte" all have different meanings in English. And that it's ok for loanwords to not have the exact same definition as the original.
Yeah, I hope the satire was coming across. For instance, "latte" doesn't actually mean tea, instead coming from the Latin root for milk, so it has more in common with "galaxy"
This definitely happens with loanwords and I'm by no means going to impose my own opinions on how people speak. The US and Japan have been borrowing back and forth (e.g. "anime" and "waifu" which come from English "animation" and "wife", but have different nuance than the original).
