Wack things in China

Well, apparently the old man likes them young, so…

Not in China but I was at a temple in Bangkok. A Chinese guy skipped the line to buy water in front of me and other people. The person selling the water who was Thai, yelled at him in Chinese and told him to go to the back of the line.

The way she looked and the fact she could say all of that in Chinese indicates this was a regular thing with Chinese tourists.

You can reply with ‘ni CAI shi wai guo ren!’ They would shit their pants in amazement.

What is the literal definition of Fascism? The marriage of state & corporate power?

an entertaining one from Taobao. The prices sometimes translate into words. not sure if this is something from the code or google translate

there’s also, “the opening ceremony of the sex slave school”

wth?

A local tourist attraction in southwestern China billing itself as a winter wonderland has landed in hot water after visitors seeking the perfect selfie discovered the promised “snow” was actually made of cotton wool and foamy water.

The Chengdu Snow Village project in Sichuan province—famous for spicy food and pandas—had sought to lure in tourists over the Lunar New Year holiday with promotional photos featuring thick layers of snow blanketing the roofs of log cabins.

But many visitors were left angry and disappointed after finding out the advertised “snow” turned out to be large sheets of cotton.

What’s the original without translation?

are you referencing the taobao stuff? The original is a rmb number, ie the price… That’s why the translation makes zero sense.

I have no idea what the price is so I’m just wondering how does the algorithm arrive at the words.

Unless it’s AI where it’s just making stuff up.

yeah but, “the opening ceremony of the sex school”
It’s brilliant
even if artificial imagination

Not sure where to put this, but it didn’t seem worth a whole thread…

Ooh more for me!

If they’d tried that shit when we had troops in the Philippines there’d have been a full scale mutiny.

As far as I know that’s always been true for anyone with a security clearance. :thinking:

Reading the news, it totally makes sense. I mean, one you past the nonsense of someone working “around the clock” without days off, if something happens to that person while working, which is any and every time, then the slave master should be responsible.

Another interaction with Chinese tourists.

I was opening a door to a 711 in korea. In korea many stores have a button you push to open the door and not an automatic sensor.

I clicked on the button and waited for the door to open. A lady went in front of me as it opened before I had a chance. I was initially shocked because it was just a weird as she clearly sees I’m opening it and waiting and Korean people are usually very polite. I went into the store and realized she was Chinese and it made more sense.

My girl looked at me and was like wtf and I told her as she walked out that that lady was Chinese and she was like ahhh. That’s why.
