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!

I was a fourth grader, so not too politically concious. But I happened to be home sick on 9/11. I got up late and the news was on and my Mom was in the other room on the phone with a relative. And I saw the second plane hit live. As I said I wasn't too politically concious. But definitely noticed so much fear mongering and paranoia afterwards. The anthrax mailings to people is the main story I remember from the time, along with people starting fires microwaving their mail before opening it.
