The specific third space everyone longs for as an adult is the cafeteria. You all just miss the cafeteria. You miss going to the dining hall and the whole community of people you know are there. You want to be able to go somewhere and be around friends without explicitly having to make plans to hang out.

Xylaria @Xylaria1/1/2024, 4:43 AM

yes, exactly

I want cafeterias, and dorm lounges, and student centers, and libraries, all back and easily accessible and regularly visited by real adults.

I don't want everyone so drowned in work and consumerism every single day to the point that they don't have the time or ability to commune.

I want human interaction, god damnit.

Irenes (many)@ireneista1/1/2024, 4:54 AM

libraries are our first pick

yes we know they exist, we want one closer :)

and with more seating (city libraries are always low on seating, which we're pretty sure is due to politics not lack of desire)

but yes! all of these

i am terrified by how true this rings for me

Shel @shel1/1/2024, 3:20 AM

The food was awful but sitting at the table and then people just come sit down with you? Yeah it’s that

Yeah this tracks

JillieDaw @JillieDaw1/1/2024, 3:09 AM

maybe something similar but i would like to eat food on my own

David Smith @Catfish-Man1/1/2024, 4:47 AM

I avoided the cafeteria like it was full of bees. I miss the band room’s four broken down donated couches, where I took the cafeteria food with my friends.

when i was living in a Medium Sized City i loved this about the downtown bar triangle zone. i could reliably count on just going down there and Seeing Someone I Knew. i have been chasing this feeling for a long time

Nah, what I miss is the college game lounge

my uni didn’t have a cafeteria but just now appreciating the friend who made the local coffee shop such a staple for our group where any of us could roll up and he and a few others might already be there and we could hang without planning to do so

if I could add one well-run government-subsidized piece of infrastructure to my city it would be a cafeteria that's mandated to sell food at-cost. this is above public transport on my list of priorities

i also want spaces in the library for different types of interaction! my college library had about five floors, starting with the ground floor and going down. the deeper you got, the quieter it got — open chatting and study groups on the top levels with a cafe and lots of seating, and everyone had a story about being glared at in ‘the dungeon’ for turning pages in a book too aggressively

I have very very fond memories of my college dorm lounge.
