I know it’s better in theory than Reddit but maaaaan it’s so lonely here sometimes! So many communities are just a ghost town. It’s so bad that I (normally a lurker) am motivated enough to get out of my cave and post. We need more active text only post subs cause I’m just soo sick of news links :/ we also need more active friend making subs fr.

If anybody is out there, hi 👋. We probably have very different life experiences, but that doesn’t mean we can’t chat lol

    I try to be, I used to be very very introverted, and now I seem to be trying to make up for that 😅

    As for obscure animals, I can only really think of 2: the star nosed mole, and the Amazon River Dolphin, that they kinda only just rediscovered, after having not seen them for decades. Both very cool, but unfortunately I am more of a fan of megafauna like elephants and moose, which aren much less obscure for obvious reasons. I am just very impressed with any animal that can essentially fight a car without much effort.

    What is your most obscure interest that you have, would you say? For me I would go with the historical time period of the Spring of Nations. One of my favourite points of history, mostly because of how much of an effect it would go on to have on our political systems to this day

      Well tell me about it. What is this spring of nations? Why would it have a big effect on our political systems? Oh and what do you think is the biggest potential butterfly effect there? Like small change that would change everything.

      I guess I would say the competitive scene of C&C generals zero hour is pretty obscure and I’ve been following that since 2020. Although it’s growing. It’s a game from 2004 so pretty wild that we still have $25k tournaments (all from community donors) that get a few thousand live viewers today.

      If I went more obscure I guess there’s a few 90s underground rappers I listen to. Oh and there’s this ARG I found on Reddit which is a YouTube channel with very few subscribers about a kidnapped girl. At least I hope it’s an arg and not real haha.
