Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

That does actually tell you where because only usaians are arrogant enough to think that would be meaningful.

Nobody else on the planet is like this and so it does tell you it's the USA. This ticks me off because it deserves to be met with mockery.

If you don't know where the original York with any precision idk why you would think I'd know much about the sequel.

Honestly I'm going to file this one under "Yankee eating crackers", but maybe that's just because I'm a contrarian with the "memorizing two-letter codes" kind of autism.

Prior to this moment I would have said I was literate but having read your comment I see that I have erred.

"Yankee eating crackers" is a riff on https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/BEC#English (linked to the abbreviation because I can't remember if the full form hits the word filter). The rest is about some autistic people reporting a tendency to soak up systematic trivia.
