Even international spy networks are worried about American kids.

They're gonna build a firewall, and the US is gonna pay for it!

This is a hilarious turn of events.

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 4 points 13 minutes ago

This was the turn of events anyone who knows anything about China and the CCP (and how closely they control businesses there) would have expected.

I knew it was coming since that article yesterday about us Americans posting vids of 3D printed guns lmao

Luigi is now the most popular name for newborns in China.

[–] frunch@lemmy.world 17 points 3 hours ago

Please let this be true 🤣

It amazes me how people apparently can't live without watching shitty videos all the time... Oh, well.

[–] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 10 points 3 hours ago

Rednote with multiple SIMULTANEOUS video feeds sounds like a whole new level of brain rot

It’s an addiction. No other way to describe it. Like your coke dealer ran out so you gotta switch to crack instead.

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 14 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Man people will do anything not to drink Pepsi!

Ironically I stopped drinking soda because Pepsi got rid of the only soda I really liked.

[–] JiveTurkey@lemmy.world 10 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I feel exactly the same way. It's like they can't imagine a world without it. When it's banned they'll have to fill their time just staring at the wall.

It would be great if they switched to Zen Buddhism a few hours a day though.

A wee quote from the author of the original little red book ...:
"the two slogans -- let a hundred flowers blossom and let a hundred schools of thought contend -- have no class character; the proletariat can turn them to account, and so can the bourgeoisie or others. Different classes, strata and social groups each have their own views on what are fragrant flowers and what are poisonous weeds".

Seemed a good idea at the time, remember how that trick evolved thereafter ...?

China: we’re supposed to be doing the influencing here.

RedNote's Chinese name, Xiaohongshu, literally translates to "Little Red Book," which seems like a direct reference to a book of quotes from Chinese communist leader Mao Tse-tung. But The Washington Post reported that the app is designed to be apolitical and its co-founder, Mao, maintains that the name instead pays "homage to the colors of his college," Stanford Business School, and his former employer, Bain Capital.

Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeetthefuckouttahere!

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 4 points 3 hours ago

You wouldn't expect anyone named Mao to be political, so that checks out. His brothers Lenin and Stalin are equally apolitical.

"Homage to the fact that they're going get what's coming"

I tried to challenge some ideas in World News and I guess asking questions about Chinese censorship is xenophobic. Now I'm banned for not being pro Chinese censorship.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 15 points 5 hours ago

Oh gosh, I thought you meant .world World News for a minute there. Yeah the problem is .ml, they're tankies.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 67 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

.ml

There’s your problem. If they stated their rules, rather than forcing people to figure them out by trial and error, I’d have less of an issue with it. Like, lemmygrad is explicit in its intent and they state it outright in their rules. Lemmy.ml plays it too coy, and so comes off as incredibly manipulative.

You just broke the secret law!

Typical fascist behavior.

So if having an Asian fetish is called yellow fever in the West, what’s having a Caucasian fetish called in China?

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 15 points 3 hours ago

Lactose tolerant?

It really is a tale as old as time.

When the femboy exchanges begin happening the world will finally begin to heal
