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've gotten very close, but it's repeatedly alluded me, unfortunately. I've already taken a spill into the retention pond it's swimming in, sliced up my hands, and inhaled/swallowed a bit of water that ducks and geese have been swimming in for the past week. I'd hate to have caught avian flu and still have it die. 
Trying to find something I can use as a net, but not having much luck. Neighbor's got a call in to some wildlife place, at least.🤞
