Just got an emergency alert… This is just a test, right? Even it says “drill” somehow I’m still not sure. Is this the usual way tests are marked in Taiwan emergency alerts?
Didn’t get this in Taichung, for what that’s worth.
Another psycho attack, maybe? Hopefully not.
Thank you so much. Googling in English didn’t help - but that clears it up.
Yeah, it seems you weren’t the only one confused by this…
They really should try and make it clear that it’s a drill… Otherwise you get a boy who cried wolf situation in real emergencies.
This isn’t the first time the English in one of those alerts was beyond merely inadequate. They really should know better by now.
That was my favorite. Serious “well shit I regret coming here” moment, immediately followed up by “oh, cool, we’re not going to die”
Not to be pedantic, but the first word it says in English is [Drill]
Never let truth get in the way of a good story
(Where the emoji at ?)
Ok that’s fair ![]()
Counterpoint, I didn’t notice until you said it ![]()
My solution is to disable emergency alerts and just let the Abyss swallow me
O! Our deep and powerful deity Gamla Stan, take me whole and take me darkly
