“Competence porn: videos of humans doing things absurdly well."

Videos of people executing with high skill on the job or project. This is a venue to just revel in people’s ability to get a project done. They’ve put in so many hours to get good, let’s be impressed.

Not actual porn, but still satisfying in a different way
Not for video game videos. There’s already plenty of places to post your no-scope 360 stuff.
Yes, mostly work site, job site, performance, and crafting demonstrations of skill.
We want the execution, not just the results! Show us the person getting it done (privacy protected is totally allowed, of course)

Welcome to the nostalgia-filled piefed instance of yesteryear.

Some rules we try to uphold:

Be civil. Bigotry is not welcome. This includes (but is not limited to): transphobia, queerphobia, racism, ageism and ableism. We do not promote hate.
Communities need to be Retro or Retro-adjacent.
Please don't upload pornographic content. (use an external image host for that)
