Spendrill@lemm.eeOPto Memes@lemmy.ml•Chinese AI meme about American re-industrialisation5·3 months agoI’m guessing the Chinese diet doesn’t have as much corn syrup in it.
Spendrill@lemm.eeOPto Memes@lemmy.ml•Chinese AI meme about American re-industrialisation8·3 months agoIt’s mocking Trump and MAGA’s fantasy. For the workers it’s providing them with work that is unpleasant, poorly paid and painful. For the factory owners it is ending up with staff that just aren’t going to be productive.
As for toiling for a pittance: Trump is trying to devalue the dollar and erode workers rights in a race to the bottom. Apart from the fact that, as others here have pointed out, the endgame would be automation the intermediary stage is pushing those in precarity and poverty into jobs that don’t benefit them in any meaningful way.
But the Chinese, being somewhat keener students of human nature, have distilled those arguments into thirty seconds of comedy gold.

He’ll accept any amount of pain, unless he’s the one feeling it.
Spendrill@lemm.eeto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do you feel about someone taking the coins people tossed into a fountain or other public waterworks display for "wishes?"29·4 months agoWhoever owns the fountains owns the money.
If someone throws money into a fountain and then wishes then that in itself is a complete transaction with whichever supernatural entity is being bargained with.
I am assuming that any entity which is powerful enough to grant wishes is also powerful enough to hang onto the money if that should be its wish.
Alternatively it’s a quaint custom that people engage in as a form of custom and the pleasure comes with a link to the tradition.
The periodic clearing out of the fountains is both necessary maintenance and a form of income that pays for said maintenance. No one is really harmed by this.

And it’s not even the fifth weirdest thing you’ll see on the internet today.
I know, impressive effort.
Turns out this is false, the actual story is much better: https://www.vice.com/en/article/chinese-woman-fake-russian-history-wikipedia/
But only if you really mean it.
Good, for everyone involved. I do wish people would stop with the performative jealousy because Hollywood has taught them to think that way.

Plot twist: the dancers aren’t really there.
Offensive language.
KeePassXC can do this as well. I had no idea until I saw a post on here where someone mentioned it. Here’s the documentation.
