Hi there!
Welcome to our daily scheduled post, the Daily Slow Chat.
If you want to just chat about your day, if you have questions for the moderators (please mark these [Mod] so we can find them), or if you just want talk about oatmeal then this is the thread for you!
Enjoying the small talk? We have a Discord server too! We'd love to have more of you over there. Do both of us a favour and use this link to join the fun.
The mod-team wishes you a nice day!

Good morning from Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of Brunei Darassalam.
The Headhunters Trail was great… very tough but very rewarding! Now we have moved from Mulu into Brunei.
In fact this morning I met the Sultan.He was attending an open air event for his 78th birthday,he walked around talking to people there and we shook hands and even had a short chat.
He seemed like a nice guy,he speaks very good English and even a little bit of Italian… when I said I was from Italy,he replied (in Italian) that it was a beautiful country and that he loved the food!
New bugbear: Lazy Youtubers/media people trying to make serious commentary on “Gen Alpha Trends” an actual thing. Gen Alpha, of course, being people born from 2010ish onwards. In other words, young children and early teenagers at best.
This comment comes after YouTube decided to recommend me a video entitled “Why Gen Alpha Slang Is Just Nonsense Really”. Or, as translated into non-media brainrot language, “Why do 12 year olds say stupid shit?”
FFS, even if you *are* going to compartmentalise people into awkward and arbitrary discrete generational categories that you’re going to assign awkward and arbitrary stereotypes to, can you please at least not do that to people who aren’t even adults yet and who haven’t yet had time to develop a distinct fully-formed worldview of their own?
The off-road biking clips from the Olympics brought back some bad memories of child me trying to see how fast I could make the bicycle go by going down a hill.
