Ah, that’s a contextual map. If you turn your phone around, the traffic direction arrows switch around too.

Actually, that’s the anatomically correct picture of kangaroo shit. The red wisps of steam rising denotes the smell, not the temperature.

It is a truism that many Australians don’t like being reminded that they are generally just square arseholes.

Somebody at Radio Taiwan was a bit too inspired this morning:

Why did he bother? Barely enough there to start any kind of operation.

And beautiful they are not. Poor things are a breeze away from death.

Yeah not even Snoop Dogg would think those are beautiful.

Funny, I was reading it and trying to figure it out, I thought “sister” and “OK I’m just not getting this agricultural terminology here”. The blame is not mine, who would get “beautiful” out of that?

I’m glad you posted this site though @Icon

No hay por donde.

“Breast milk should not be sold or bought over the Internet, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said on Monday, following the posting online of a video in which a person used breast milk for pearl milk tea and then complained about the taste.

Context, man.

The Health Promotion Administration said that it has provided subsidies to Taipei City Hospital’s Fuzhou Street branch — which specializes in gynecology and pediatrics — the Ministry of Health and Welfare Hospital’s Taichung branch and National Cheng Kung University’s affiliated hospital to establish breast milk banks.

These banks accept donations of breast milk from people nationwide, it said, adding that the milk is provided to mothers who have a doctor’s prescription so that they can feed their children.

Women unable to breastfeed due to medical conditions or other reasons should consult a doctor and should not resort to purchasing breast milk from untrustworthy sources, it added.

I assure you the people who buy breast milk are mostly grown up men… something to do with traditional medicine.

If any of you guys and gals have seen the movie My Geeky Nerdy Buddies, the opening scene precisely has the story of a man whose doctor prescribed him to take breast milk… straight from the source… which is how the protagonist´s mom and dad met… and it gets worse from there on…

EDIT:

Mmmmm, I sure could go for some breast milk boba and a pee egg. Are there any 米血糕 made with human blood?

Modern slavery

Yet again. As the K-Man points out, it’s just one in a series of scandals in Taiwan involving private universities, international students, and so-called “work study” schemes.
