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.

This "new trend" is almost 10 years old, rolling stone. Libs performative ignorance of self defense related stuff is a sight to behold

10 years ago you had a like 90% chance of blowing your hand off I think. (I'm exaggerating) I imagin now its far less. Shit I bet this guy gets JCL3DP and Prusa sponserships.

The printed parts of the guns are the frame or receiver which undergoes very little stress. The pressure bearing operating parts are all metal. This is a legal loophole in the USA because that part is the legal firearm rather than the barrel/bolt/slide. Several states have heavily restricted any and all firearms parts because of this.

On a related note, If you know anyone who works as a machinist and they have even a passing interest in firearms, then they most likely have already machined these parts for themselves and created their own ghost guns. 3D printers seem like a natural progression of this that’s just more accessible to non-specialists

That's good context. Thanks!

Commercial 3D printing companies are working with state actors in the USA to implement surveillance of their machines to prevent manufacturing weapons. Several states have criminalized hosting or receiving files that can be used to create firearms and even general information about firearms.
