2015.06.14 Morning Coffee

Hello, everyone!

/t/cafe was created yesterday by /u/White with myself as moderator as a result of all the participation in these threads. The idea was to create a space for users to talk freely and to stimulate discussion using cool questions, but obviously /t/lounge and /t/asksnapzu already exist for those purposes. We're thinking of how /t/cafe can coexist without being redundant, but in the meantime all Morning Coffee (name courtesy of /u/Autumnal) posts will be here in the Lounge. These will be for general discussion, and we're committed to consistently posting these every day (in the morning, depending on your region).

So, grab your drink/pastry of choice, pull up a chair, listen to today's (1) eclectic (2) cafe (3) music (4) and let's go!

P.S. This is just one example of users trying to make Snapzu more fun. If you have a cool idea, give it a shot :)

    I guess it's a sign for me to finally go to bed.

        And then there's the European morning peeps ;)

          Those guys are having lunch by now.

            Not yet in the UK! I still have 1 hour before it's lunch time.

              I just woke up too and it's past noon. Hangover lazy Sunday is in full effect.

              So THAT'S what Sundays are for. You're blowing my mind.

    I keep wanting to refer to users here as Snappers, but that's a fish. I am sure none of you look like this.

    So what is the correct term for us?

      Somewhat relevant video (NSFW language): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhJteYnoLBI

      Dancing with the Marlins making out with the all the Snappers, I'd take a Salmon home and work that caudal fin for hours

    • grandsalami

      'Snapzites' if I recall correctly.

      • wwarped

        Thanks. Sounds like some alien species. Didn't Doctor Who encounter them at some point?

        • Moderator

          Hahaha. I still prefer 'snapper', as it sounds more natural than the alternatives.

    • picklefingers

      Why did you post a picture of me?

      • wwarped
        +3

        You should be grateful I posted that one, the others are much more risqué.

  • picklefingers (edited 8 years ago)

    Oh man, is it coffee time already? I'm still awake from the last one. Maybe I should get some sleep....

    • Moderator
      +5

      Haha, it's not even 6 AM here, so you're fine. You should probably get some sleep, though...

      • picklefingers
        +6

        Or some coffee!

        No. Wait. That's a terrible idea.

        • Moderator
          +4

          Reminds me of a post I saw in another tribe about drugs that fulfill your sleep requirements. Seems like we could both use some of that.

  • melaniee

    Great idea, I'm loving these threads.

    Always up for a coffee.

    Is there no way to have /t/lounge display links to both /t/cafe and /t/asksnapzu at the top of the page? Like some sticky?

    From reading the welcome message when joining I always got the impression that /t/lounge was the welcoming committee. I have since gone on to see /t/cafe as light hearted chat, or dare I use that word 'banter'. Then /t/asksnapzu as more ask about the finer points of this website, and its workings. But that’s just my view.

    • Moderator

      I'm thinking about how to make this work. I think I may link to an /t/asksnapzu question in these Morning Coffee posts so people can find their way there as well.

      Having /t/cafe as a little corner for banter is great, as you say. But the description for the lounge states that it's "a place for all members to get together and hang out", so that's why I feel the cafe is redundant. I think, if the site grows to the point where the lounge is flooded with new user posts, then we can move over to the cafe.

      And /t/asksnapzu is kind of a clone of /r/askreddit, so people will likely continue utilizing it as such.

      Let me know if you have any ideas.

    Morning guys! Well I am not a coffee person sadly, but let's pretend I am so I can participate in the threads ;)

    What are you up to today? Lazy Sunday or exciting Sunday? I'm usually the lazy kind when it comes to Sundays, but this afternoon I am going to brave my fears and go to "Go Ape" , where I'll be in the trees and do scary things (I'm afraid of heights!).

    • Moderator

      This cafe serves whatever you like :) I could actually go for a cold beer right now.

      Looked up Go Ape and that looks really fun. I'm also afraid of heights, so I hope you don't die. Fingers crossed.

      • Cheesemangeur
        +6

        I'm hoping the fact of having a harness on will help me with the fear. I'll let you know if I survive ;)

        Could probably do with a few shots of vodka before I go there haha.

          Haha. I feel like that would really enhance the experience, actually, in addition to calming your nerves.

          • Cheesemangeur
            +3

            I survived! It was amazing, so happy I went through with it. To be fair there were times I really regretted being so high up, and I had no idea I would be using my muscles so much either!

            I absolutely loved going on the very tall zip line and wooshing across the valley, it was an amazing view. I could do that one every day!

              Props for staying alive. If you have any cool pics you should post them (I dunno what tribe lol).

              Now I feel like trying it out myself, but the nearest one seems to be in Connecticut. Actually, I've seen a similar concept inside of a big shopping mall... not quite the same, though :)

      Coffee and bunny litter box cleaning. Sprucing up here and there,surfing the net and reading a book. BTW,my avatar is not a rabbit.

        Do bunnies use a litter box like cats? I got a cat last year and I'm still AMAZED at how he uses the litter box without fail. In contrast, my family's stupid Maltese relieves himself wherever he is when the urge strikes. I'm not quite sure he's fully conscious.

      Lazy Sunday for me. I'm going to portion out my lunches for the week a little later but that is about it.

      • Moderator

        Sunday meal prep? That's sweet, I've been meaning to start doing the same thing. What are you putting in yours?

        • Lagz
          +2

          Lunch every day is three chicken thighs, 1cup of mixed vegetables and now I started adding 1 cup of brown rice. Makes it so nice to just grab a container out of the fridge in the morning and throw it in the lunchbox.

    What's up, snappers? The sun's coming up over New York City and I've got some green tea going.

    I didn't sleep last night — I've been nocturnal this week, because my mind stupidly gravitates toward 36-hour days while my body can't keep up, so every other week my sleep cycle gets turned upside down.

    This morning I have to practice for a small performance I have in the afternoon (I play electric guitar). After that, it'll take every ounce of effort to stay awake through the evening so I can reset my day and night!

    I will take my apartment's stairs today, as there have been two giant cockroaches lying dead and dismembered in front of the elevator for the past few days, and I'm terrified of them. I think no one is cleaning them up so they can serve as a warning to their stupid friends (which I agree with), but our super is on vacation for two weeks so I will be getting a lot of exercise.

    Hope everyone has a great morning.

      Wow, you're living the dream. I'd want to spend all my time with my kids as well.

    I'll have a hot chocolate :).

    It's my fourth (third?) day of Snapzu, and I'm enjoying it immensely.

    I hope it's cool to plug a Steam group /u/picklefingers has started. We need more players for a huge Civ V game.

    When I signed up, /t/lounge seemed like a place for introductions. I thought the name was weird and saw a mishmash of stuff in it with introductions clogging up the other discussion. Honestly I think a /t/introductions should be made for that. And my suggestion for /t/lounge would be off topic general discussion like the side bar suggests. As for /t/cafe it seemed you guys wanted to move the morning coffee there but if introductions moved out; I suppose morning coffee is better here where everyone is already subbed to?

    I rambled a bit, but that's my thoughts.

    • Moderator

      Of course! I joined the group yesterday, actually. I don't have Civ 5 but I hope to kill you guys in some other game real soon :P

      Thanks for your input — I've been going through those thoughts as well. It's only the second day of this, so I'm just hoping things become more clear as we go.

    Coffee ready, pastry put away (too fattening on diet). I'm ready for an epic Sunday.
