Can we bring back casual conversation? (lemmy.ml)

I remember several years ago r/Casual Conversation was brimming with interesting and candid discussion. As it gained more and more traction I saw it go through the same evolution that killed r/IAmA and r/askreddit. More popularity means more traffic, more traffic means more posts, more posts means stricter moderating, stricter moderating means less "casual" posts. Before long it was just another upvote machine, and that's when I dipped out.

So having said that, how is your morning going? Did you do anything cool this weekend?

If I had a stack of $100 bills, and I told you that for every bill you eat I will give you one to keep, how much money do you think you'd walk away with? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

If you managed to eat several hundred bills I wouldn't dream of snitching on you out of respect and sheer awe. I'd probably give you a few extra just for the show

You think this is my first rodeo? You gotta put down a credit card as collateral. Don't worry, the bills are clean. I'm in the money laundering business.

They are 25% linen and 75% cotton. Neither are very good for digestion but probably harmless unless those crumpled corners cut your custard dispenser on the way out

What is your favourite Lemmy community, which is not on lemmy.ml? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I speak with authority on this, and I think you should get shoes that light up when you walk.

All in one sitting. You get one condiment of choice, and a large glass of water. Bills can be torn up before consumption but nothing is stopping you from housing full Benjamins and digging for gold in the bathroom later. I think I could probably eat at least 10, and I would pick BBQ sauce.
