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!

  1. Today is my 5th anniversary on Reddit.

    I came here when, during the early days of the pandemic, Lonely Planet closed down the ‘Thorntree’ (never to be reopened, though we didn’t know that at the time) and a small group of regular posters there decided to set up a ‘replacement’ on here.

    Why did you originally start posting on Reddit?

  2. I was hoping for a spectacular sunrise today when I saw the gorgeous hazy orange sunrise pictures from the south (due to Sahara dust, apparently) but it seems like it’s only in the south 😔 entirely normal sunrise here. 

    I am baking matcha white chocolate chip cookies today as a treat for the colleagues I’ll be leaving next week. Is bringing treats on your last day of work a thing for you guys, too?

  3. Well, that’s it official and everything is signed up, I’ll be leaving the place I work this summer and will be off to the whisky industry. I’ve been here since I left school so going off to a distillery will be a bit of a shock to the system.

  4. i see so many people switching from gmail to proton, as part of the bigger switch off US products, because of its privacy policy which is just a lie! i just use tuta and it has worked fine for me.

  5. I read this morning that Port-au-Prince in Haiti is in serious danger of being taken over by armed gangs… apparently the government forces are having great difficulty in maintaining control there.
