Every government is scared of these dumb kids lol

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 19 points 7 hours ago

Lol. Lmao, even.

Jk, my real thoughts is: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

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.

[–] gaael@lemmy.world 34 points 6 hours ago

Imo it's more sad than hilarious. US users and Chinese users meeting each other on the platform and discovering they are interesting people who actually have a lot in common sounds like what I'd wish the internet to be.
It's not surprising, and I get the irony, but I feel more sad than amused.

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.

Please let this be true 🤣

[–] Engywuck@lemm.ee 83 points 15 hours ago (6 children)

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

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

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

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

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 41 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

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 18 points 12 hours ago

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

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.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 84 points 16 hours ago (2 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.

Is this some biological instinct to ensure gene diversity?

[–] psud@aussie.zone 5 points 5 hours ago

Maybe. We should be attracted to people different to us for the healthiest babies

[–] DesolateMood@lemm.ee 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

The grass is always greener I guess

Asian "grass" is usually darker.

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