01/19/24 - What I brought home that day was someone’s femur bone and not a stick.
Another compilation of why people were beaten as kids:
“This is really normal. I remember my mom beating me, but it was only when we talked about it that I found out it was because I was playing with my own poop, rolling it into pills and putting it in my dad’s Chinese Medicine box. My dad said that since they were all bitter, he even put it in his mouth, and it stunk too back and that’s when he figured out something was wrong and started suspecting me XD”
“When I was little, they never let me eat fish, and I swore to myself that I’d never eat fish for the rest of my life. Later, I got a boyfriend, and told him how I haven’t had fish for well over a decade. He got furious and ordered me a giant grilled fish, and before I even finished it, I started throwing up black water. My lips and eyes all got super swollen and I was hospitalised. Never dared to tell my family in case they make fun of me for the rest of my life.”
“When I was little, I found a stick on the road and brought it home to let my dog play with it, and my mom and dad tied me up and beat the shit out of me. I resented them until I was grown up, until one day, I heard my mom tell someone about the trouble I got into as a kid, and found out that what I brought home that day was someone’s femur bone and not a stick T_T”
“Around New Years, my mom made a ton of steamed bread and covered them up with a piece of clean white cloth so they could wake. I commented that it looked like she was covering up a dead body and got beaten up XD”
“One year around New Years, my brother pointed to the Fu [fortune character, 福] and said, “Fu is upside down.” [福倒了, which sounds the same as “Fortune has arrived here.”], and I said, “Fu is the other way around.” [福到头了, which sounds the same as, “Fortune has ended here.”] After beating the shit out of me, every year now, my dad will remember this and yell at me again.”
“When I was little, my parents were playing mahjong with my grandparents and I was playing by myself by the side, not bothering them at all. They even said I was a good kid. Once they were done, my grandparents gave me lots of snacks and my parents took me home. The next day, my grandparents found out that I hid both of their kids, reset all of their alarm clocks, shut off all the alarms so they were late for work, and put my uncle’s gold fish in his tropics aquarium, and let his cat outside. Thankfully, they found the cat by the next day. I also put a wet bowl in the rice bag, which wouldn’t have been a problem normally, but it was during wet season. And there was a piece of chewed gum I stuck on the end of the tassels on the curtains. I got into trouble 7 times in one night. Thank God I was a girl. If I was my uncle’s son, I would’ve gotten beaten up so hard.”
“When I was little, I got done eating and was playing by myself, and when my mom got finished with her work, she beat me up. I had no idea why. Later I found out that after I got done, I put Feng You Jing [basically mostly minty rubbing alcohol] in the porridge. The problem was that I honestly don’t remember doing this at the time. I still don’t remember doing it now.”
“I complained that my mom would never buy me pretty light-coloured winter jackets when I was little. When I grew up, my mom pulled out my old winter jackets to show me, and not a single one was intact. They were all covered with holes that I burned while lighting fireworks. And I loved helping with the fire by the stove too. I’d be lucky to keep a light-coloured winter jacket clean for more than 10 minutes.”
“Someone snuck candy to eat as a kid, got found out by her dad, and he dug it out of her mouth by force. From that point on, she never talked to her dad. She only brought this up when her dad was about to pass away, and found out what she had ate was rat poison.”
“Can I go to Harbin in this outfit next month? Would I freeze to death? I just want my photos to look good.”
A compilation of comments, “Your period will be like shaved red bean ice.”
“Sure, but all your photos are gonna have to be in black and white.” [black and white photos are for dead people.]
“When I went to school in Shenyang, some southerner went around in a t-shirt and a fleeced hoodie while it was snowing, insisting that they weren’t cold. That night, an ambulance came to pick them up—their bladder had exploded due to the cold.”
“Once you’re done playing in Ice World or doing long outdoor activities, go to a bath house and soak and steam yourself! Or you’ll go back with the cold still in your bones, and you guys don’t have heating where you live so it’s gonna suck!! Get that cold out of you as fast as you can!!!”
“Wear that to Harbin next month, and you’ll be right on time to get born December next year.”
“Go ahead. Once you’re frozen solid, you can be one of the statues in Ice World, and you can go back home next spring when it all thaws.”
“At the mall today, tried on a pair of winter pants. It looks pretty nice. I checked out the tag in the changing room, and they wanted 1400 RMB. Like all of a sudden, I guess I didn’t really like those pants anymore. Like, they’re really only so-so…
Once I came out, I asked the store employee whether there was any discounts, and she said she can give me 10% off if I bought two pairs. And I was like, “I’ll look around more.”
Just looked on Taobao, and it costs 800RMB to get it from a purchasing agent…
Then I decided to reverse image search in Temu…and there wasn’t any pants that were exactly the same, but there’s an extremely similar looking brand for 90 RMB which has already sold 15K pairs. And if you buy the same cut from off brand, it’s just 17 RMB…
All of a sudden, I didn’t feel anything, and at the same time, I’m pretty sure that real life retail isn’t going to get any better any time soon XD”
Comments say, “I was at the mall yesterday, and a shirt at a store that had a 50% discount still cost 900 RMB. I checked on Taobao and it was only 149RMB. I couldn’t believe it and went back to double check, and all the details of the shirt was exactly the same. The store employee heard me complaining about why it’s so much more expensive than online and made fun of me, like, “Then go buy random shit off the internet.” Lol. Guess I really hurt her feelings.”
“Ever since I bought my wife a 5000RMB sewing machine, aside from shoes, jeans, and winter jackets, my whole family hasn’t had to buy any clothes. Once you turn 15RMB’s worth of cloth into a t-shirt, then stick a Arc’teryx label on it and sell it for 800+RMB, then you’re just being silly…”
“I never dare to buy anything at the mall. Every single piece costs more than a grand, and winter clothes are usually 3K+.”
“Not gonna lie, this is all true. There’s a woman in my development who has a toy poodle. She eats and sleeps with that dog every day. When the dog gets sick, she closes her store so she can focus on taking care of it, and cooks something different for her poodle every day.
If the dog gets really sick, she gets a vet to give the dog an IV, boost its nutrition. The dog drinks bottled water usually. When it’s sick, it goes through a crate of milk every 3 days.
Everyone gossips about her.
And another woman, she loves her toy poodle too. When it gets sick, she gets so worried, she cries. Takes time off work to take her dog to the vet to get treated, giving it glucose and nutrient fluid, and feeds it lamb milk. She’s not bad to her parents, but she’s always super bitchy towards her in-laws. And she’s always going around saying that, “People with pets are always really loving people.”
Think about what that means.”
Comments say, “She’s nice to her parents. She’s nice to her dog. She’s only mean to her in-laws. So clearly, the problem lies with her in-laws.”
“You’re jealous?”
“Huh? So? Do you wanna be a dog too?’
“Got it. You can’t afford bottled water and milk.”

Comments say, “Where??”
Question: “Why hasn’t venison become a common staple meat like beef or lamb?”
Answer: “A certain winter when I was young, my work organised an outing to a Safari [something of a mix between a park, a garden, and a free-range zoo], and for dinner, we got to have roasted venison. The taste was very good. It wasn’t too fatty or too lean. Really excellent flavour. I had no idea why nobody ate it.
As a famed “meat lover”, I ate all the venison at my table, and went over and ate the other table’s too. But the next morning, when I got up, I found that I couldn’t make any sounds at all. My throat was all swollen and sore.”
Comments say, “You should’ve had an ice cream after dinner.”
“But isn’t there prion disease in deer?”
“Deer meat is super inflammatory.”
