Chocolate Rain is a popular internet video and song that gained widespread attention in the mid-2000s. It was created by musician and internet personality Tay Zonday, and features his deep, distinctive voice singing about social issues over a catchy, repetitive melody. The song's lyrics and music video address themes of racism and discrimination, and it quickly became a viral sensation, receiving millions of views on YouTube. Despite its somewhat unusual subject matter, Chocolate Rain has endured as a memorable piece of internet culture and remains a popular meme to this day.

The 3 years I was in law school was like a black hole. SO many cultural phenomenons happened that I was completely unaware of in my little legal bubble. I love discovering them randomly every now and then. Like today, when @tayzonday kept popping up on my feed. Had no clue who he was, but lots of folks were engaging so I did some google snooping and it turns out he had an insanely viral song that currently has 138 million views on YouTube. But it came out in 2007 during my law school haze. So I never even heard of it. Now he's on Farcaster and I get to play catch up, so welcome to the purple app Tay! Aloha 🤙
I don't know what Chocolate Rain is and at this point i'm too afraid to ask

there are many of us here betting our careers, our brands, and our futures on decentralized social winning — but how does it compare to web2 social and why does this matter? join @geoffgolberg (iykyk), @coinbrad.eth (ex tiktok, lens) and me tmrw @ 9am PT to discuss :) mobile.farhouse.club/s/geoffgolberg/1971
Excited to welcome @gabrielayuso.eth to the team!
UPDATE: I've been meaning to write a post about this but I haven't given myself the time to do so. Therefore, I'll share it quickly in a cast. Yesterday was my first day working full-time on /warpcast at Merkle Manufactory. Farcaster is directionally how I want the decentralized web to evolve. There is no better app and better team to work with to push the future of decentralized web forward. So I've decided to join them on this journey. Looking forward to helping grow Farcaster and make Warpcast better for everyone!

"I use all my reaction storage but very little of my cast storage. Can storage units be flexible?" > Flexible storage units are very tricky to implement with a good UX. There are many problems, but the most pressing one is what to do when you’ve exceeded the limit and send a new message. The only solution with our eventually consistent network is to prune the oldest message, irrespective of type. This means that if you run out of space and like something, the first person you followed may get unfollowed, which is really bad. There is no easy solution to this problem.
FIP: Reduce Storage Limits @wazzymandias.eth's proposal is up for review. it reduces the # of casts, links and reactions per storage unit to help hubs scale. https://github.com/farcasterxyz/protocol/discussions/189
Some quality of life improvements for search 1. Type "in: <channel>" to find casts with hello in that channel 2. Type "from: <username> hello" to find casts with hello from that user
For those saying "just mute" — consumer products work at-scale because of smart defaults.
50% of people think tips are spammy sometimes. 10% always. Wonder if there is a better convention that allows Farcaster clients to better classify / collapse tips into a more useful UX for those that want to see them and hidden for those that don't want them. Parsing $[token] replies with some regexes could work but a bit naive.

Improvement for Warpcast web DC composer auto-complete - Will only show users in the chat - If you keep typing a username, will indicate that the user isn't in the group - Fuzzy search by username and display name - Keyboard shortcuts (up / down arrows) - Improved full-width design
Looking for feedback from cast / composer action developers 1. What do you wish was better about this page? 2. Examples of other places that do "discovery" well? https://warpcast.com/~/discover-actions
another day of building in @dwr.eth 's playground and keeping him happy. some tips: - use the features he makes - post into channels - no bad vibes about farcaster - don't mention CCP - don't mention solana or anything non-evm based in exchange you get solid distribution
