04/19/25 - My dad really loved her. He gave her everything she wanted and never beat her.
[I don’t think this matters to anyone, but Weibo is very concerned today whether or not actress Guan Xiaotong and idol Lu Han have broken up or not, and I’ve ran across half a dozen posts about this. Again, relationship drama doesn’t seem too interesting if you don’t know the people involved, so I haven’t covered it. But know that this is big entertainment gossip right now.]
#Man and 10 women dine and dash at barbecue and taunt owner. “Lately, in Liaoning, Dalian, a barbecue restaurant experienced a dine and dash. Late evening, 25th of February, a man in his 30s came in with 10 young women and ordered 1050RMB’s worth of food. During the dinner, the man acted very naturally, and even made a toast to how hard everyone had worked. It looked like a company dinner. But after dinner, the 10 women left first, and the man pretended to pay and slipped away. At first, owner Mr. Du thought he had just forgotten and wrote a message on his social media as a reminder, but no one responded. At the beginner of April, after this event went viral, on the 12th, a man claiming to be the “dine and dasher” contacted Mr. Du through WeChat and taunted, “I ate because I deserved it.” “I’m not gonna give you any money.” When Mr. Du asked him to pay, he even said, “Do what you want, lol.” And yet on the next day, the man turned around and claimed he was “just joking”, and offered to video chat to prove that he was not the man in question, and then blocked Mr. Du. Mr. Du claims that he has contacted the police and hopes the man will come forward and pay his bill.”
Comments say, “People are still dining and dashing in 2025?”
“Call the police. They’ll find him in no time.”
“Why’s he flirting when he’s got no money?”
“What the White House posted vs. what the White House didn’t post:”
Comments say, “That’s how they put the Japanese rep to the guillotine.”
“Trump must be in a good mood to give the Jap a chair.”
“Fuck, they’re literally just talking with their mouths? Not even a notepad open?”
A compilation of people’s relatives’ secrets:
“I used to like my grandpa. We don’t talk much, but he never yells at me like my parents too. But last year,I heard my mom say that my grandpa wanted my parents to throw me away when I was first born because I was a girl.”
“Reading this comment section and feeling like I don’t belong. The biggest secret I ever found out was that my parents used to sneak out while I was napping to go to Changlong Water Park.”
“I have a congenital eye issue, and the line I heard the most frequently growing up was that after I grow up, I can make money and get surgery. I always thought I could fix it once I was financially independent. After four failed surgeries, I learned that when I was 2-years-old, my parents took me to the hospital, and the doctor said that there was only a chance for improvement if they got the surgery ASAP. It’ll become a lot harder to operate on once I was fully grown. My parents knew everything, but all they taught me was to grow up and make money for myself, because they had spent all their money on buying a car for my brother when I was five, paying for his wedding when I was 8, giving it to his son when I was 10, buying a new car for him when I was 12..After I learned, I get sad every time I look at a mirror. I had the opportunity to have a pair of normal eyes. I could’ve had a better life. I could’ve lived like a normal person…Sometimes, I think that I would’ve been better not knowing. That way, I’d just hate life for being unfair. But I do know. I know that the reason I live in darkness is because of my parents.”
“One time, I was doing some research on my dad’s computer, and word opened the last document, and I saw a document for the divorce agreement they were drawing up. I felt like the world has collapsed. The heat was on, the room was 20-something degrees and plenty warm, but I was shaking so bad that I couldn’t hold on to the mouse. They were laughing in the living room, and I couldn’t tell what was real and what was a nightmare.”
“2019, I found my mom flirting with people online, and I secretly deleted that person. My mom never asked me if I did it, and I covered it up for him, because I was scared my dad would find out. My dad really loved her. He gave her everything she wanted and never beat her. One day, my dad found out by himself. At the time, my sister and I slept in my dad’s room, and he thought we were asleep, so he called my mom. At the time, my mom had left to work out of state, and my dad was going to follow her in a few days. That day, I heard my dad tell her, “I didn’t treat you in a way to deserve this. We have three kids. If you want to leave, you can, but you’re not getting any of the kids.” They talked for the longest time, I didn’t catch all of it, because my brain was in a mess. But in the end, my dad chose to forgive my mom, and they pretended nothing ever happened. And now, she’s lecturing me on not talking to other guys after I’m married, and I just find it funny and ironic.”
“My mom had really bad morning sickness when she was pregnant with me, and my dad suggested she abort me and adopt my cousin. My mom told my dad off. Later on, my mom learned that my dad is the biological father of my cousin and she beat him up. All I can say is, thank god he’s dead, because I don’t know how I’m supposed to get along with a dad like that.”
“Quit my job because I got a job offer from my mom.”
Mom: “I got a job posting to share to you.”
OP: “It’s not signing me up for the civil servant exam, right? Stop linking those to me.”
Mom: “No. I’m hiring one assistant. Pay: 4000/month, plus room and board. Job description: 1. No takeout, cook at home, make your body healthy again. If you have the energy, make an extra serving that I can take to work for lunch. 2. Go to your dad’s house at least once a week. 3. Hang out with me on the weekends, take photos for me, you can drive my car once you have a driver’s license. 4. Do whatever you like. Other benefits: Red pockets for birthdays and holidays, unlimited PTO.”
OP: “Are you serious? You’re giving me that much?”
Mom: “It’s not as much money as you could make in Beijing, but you don’t have to pay for rent or groceries either, and you’ll probably enjoy the work more. You can think on it, just do this to tide you over, and set off again once you’ve figured out what you want to do. This position is always open to you.”
OP: “[crying emoji] Mommy!!!”
Comments say, “You gotta quit if you have an offer like that on the table.”
“She must live in a really loving family. She must be so happy.”
“I want a job like this too.”
A compilation of other people’s secrets that you’ve found out, but you can’t say anything about it because the way you found out is also a secret:
“”What’s it matter to you how I know?””
“Secretly opened my eyes during a game of Werewolf and saw all the werewolves.”
“My mom confiscated my and my brother’s phone. I stole my phone back and logged onto my game just to see that my brother is also online.”
“Saw my professor on Blued.” [gay dating app]

“My friend asked me to charge her phone, and I secretly went through her messages with other people to see her badmouthing me a lot behind my back.”
“Humans are really super energy efficient. Super, super energy efficient. You can eat a little bit of Oreos, fries, and some coke, and you’ve consumed more calories than you can burn off in a 5km run. Add on your normal three meals a day, hot pot, barbecue, a little bit of beer, you won’t be able to lose any weight even if you worked out 2 hours a day.
So, you gotta control your mouth. Take in less calories than you’re burning every day, you can slim down without any exercise.
Don’t listen to fitness coaches and experts, that you’ll lose muscle if you don’t eat enough or lose hair…
With this much food around, you don’t have to worry about malnutrition. Your brain will make you crave whatever your body is lacking, you don’t need to plan around it.
The key is to eat less. Eat less, and you’ll be sick less. Eat less and you’ll weigh less.”
Comments say, “Do you know how Khalil Fong died?” [No, I don’t actually know, every reliable source I’ve seen says it’s due to “unknown causes”.]
“This is telling you to eat less junk food, not to eat less healthy food.”
“You gotta have good metabolism, or else you’ll gain weight on nothing but water.”
“The 30RMB/pound bags of beef meatballs you see in Taobao or Temu or Tiktok are all fake. Beef is 50-60RMB/pound by itself.”
“If you’re in a big, public hospital, don’t leave a bad impression on the doctors, because their goals will change from helping you to protecting themselves.”
“Red sugar has a huge profit margin. A lot of brands’ ingredients list will write “red sugar from cane”, which is just a euphemism. It’s actually red sand sugar (byproduct of white cane sugar that failed to completely lose its colour). Real red sugar only has one ingredient: sugar cane.”
“So long as you have all your documentation, it’s very easy to transfer the deed to a house. You can do it all in one appointment. You don’t need to hire an agent! Don’t listen to the real estate agents telling you that it’s a big hassle. They’re just trying to make money off of you.”
“The actual cost of a toilet and bathroom cabinets is just a couple hundred bucks, or a couple grand at most. You don’t have to buy the most expensive. Smart toilets only last five years at most. Don’t buy it if it’s been on the market for a while. By 3C showers with anti-break glass. You might never experience your glass breaking, but if you do, it’ll save your life. Before buying your toilet, figure out your water quality and water pressure. UF lids break super easy. Write a contract if you’re having custom work done. Ask how many years warranty you have on parts. Porcelain usually never goes wrong.”
“If your flight gets cancelled, call the airline company and ask to be switched to a flight leaving on the same date. If not, demand the airline buy you tickets with another airline. If not, then buy those tickets yourself and ask them to refund you the difference. Don’t cancel those tickets yourself and spend even more of your own money on rebooking.”
“Lemme share something with you all. Temu has an event called Super Friday. You can search the term “Super Friday” on Fridays, and you’ll get about 10% off on your first order, 20% off on your second order, and 50% off on your third order. You can buy some random cheap trash on your first two orders, and then buy something around 30RMB on your third order and you can save about 15RMB. But you can’t ask for a refund on your first two orders or you won’t get the event again next Friday.”
“If you want to save up money before a divorce and you’re a woman, buy gold jewellery. In a divorce settlement, gold jewellery is considered the wife’s sole property and not marital assets, and it keeps its value.”
“As an air steward on international flights, let me tell everyone that if you miss your flight but you’ve already checked in (whether online or off line), tell the ground crew right away and ask them to put you on the next flight out. You’ll save money on buying another set of tickets.”
