“I can feel this mom’s mental breakdown from across the screen. I can’t stand shit like this. It makes me so upset. It’s like you’re not even allowed to have your own emotions anymore once you have kids. You’re upset and frustrated, but you still need to control your emotions and keep living. And “dad”’s once again went invisible in all of this.”
OP attaches a screenshot of someone else’s post: “She poured the noodles I just made all over the floor and won’t stop crying. I’m so done.”
And also attaches a compilation of comments beneath this post:
“She’s not crying because she’s guilty. She’s just manipulating you.”
“Wow, my good mood’s just vanished from across the screen.”
“I admit, I can’t raise kids. I don’t have this much patience.”
“Aside from crying and calling for mommy, what else can they do? And it’s so annoying when they call for you too.”
“I feel like you’re one of those parents who never beats their kids, but I feel like she already knows she can solve all her problems by crying. If she pees on herself, all she has to do is cry. She might apologise, but she has no idea what she’s done wrong. I feel like sometimes, a slap is necessary.”
“This angry little kid after she grows up: My mom chewed my head off because of a bowl of noodles. You need a lifetime to heal childhood trauma.”
“I really don’t want kids. My emotions are super unstable. I don’t deserve them.”
“See, this is why I can’t be a mom. My first reaction is to pick it up and make her eat all of it.”
“One day, my sister was yelling, “Where are my clothes? Where are my socks?” And I got frustrated and yelled, “In your closet! Have you even locked before you asked?” And then I went, “Thank god I don’t have kids, or I’d die from anger.” And my mom laughed and said that’s how she lives every day.”
“Because she knows that the second she cries, you’ll forgive her. I can feel her deliberately crying and wiping away her tears.”
“Kids really will cry on purpose. My niece is that way. You don’t even have to hit her or yell at her. If you don’t do exactly what she wants, she’ll cry her little heart out. She’ll cry until she throws up. Because my mom and dad cave every time. They can’t stand hearing grandkids cry. When she’s in front of me, she’ll hold her tears in. Kids know exactly how to behave in front of different people.”
“Make a new bowl? No way. Only the strong deserve to be my kids. I’d put it back in her bowl and give it back to her.”
“When she grows up, she’ll post tiktok videos about how it’s not that big a deal to upend a bowl of noodles, and you’ll happen upon it and give yourself a stroke.”
“I once spilled a bowl of rice when I was little, and my grandma picked it all up, washed it with hot water, and told me to eat it. She said our house was clean enough and we shouldn’t waste food. I need to clean up my own mistake.”
“You need to stop this behaviour. Why are you crying? If you’re just talking nicely, she’ll never listen. And then whenever she does something bad, she’ll just cry, because she knows you won’t hit her or yell at her. She’ll just get worse and worse. If she did this in front of me, I would slap her across the face. I’m not joking. I don’t care if she’s my kid or not. If you don’t get mean, they’ll never listen.”
A long article going into the details of the Digitine movement—where people are blocking or unfollow celebrities on social media. For people who aren’t following it in detail, it all started when Haley posted a video of her saying “Let them eat cake.” in theme with her Marie Antoinette dress while attending the Met Gala, causing backlash on the internet as people become upset at wealth inequality. Various people pointed out that celebrities only have the money they do because of the way countless average people pay attention to them, and calling for people to boycott them.
Comments say, “They’re finally doing something right. I’ll never understand why poor people living on a couple thousand bucks a month would worship celebrities who have dozens of people answering to their every demand.”
“So block them. Block them all. They’ve got their fanbase to support them. What does it matter if a bystander like me stops paying attention to them?”
“I just wanna know when China’s gonna join?”
“I’m in such a bad mood, guys. I regret getting divorced so much. I know you’re gonna say I’m cheap. What’s there to regret about a man who cheated. But I don’t want to bullshit you guys. The economy’s in a dump. Traditional industries like what my family does are all eating into their capital. I’m just really poor right now. The company looks nice and fancy from the outside, but my cash flow isn’t even as large as your savings, probably. Before I got a divorce, I could spend my husband’s money, and so long as I don’t go too overboard, I can still live comfortably. And my in-laws gave us money every month too. His whole family was really generous towards me.
Goddammit, impulsiveness is a demon. If you’re getting money out of the deal, don’t hurry on getting a divorce. Maybe I should try seducing him into getting back together with me? He’s still trying to bug me all the time, hahahahaha. I feel so cheap and pathetic. At the time, I felt like I didn’t care about this small change, but I really don’t wanna keep spending my own money anymore. I don’t know whether you guys feel extra bad when spending your own money. And my mom and dad’s faces darken when I go asking them for money too.
Anyone teach me how to seduce a guy?”
Comments say, “Huh? Didn’t you make a post before about how he’s always spending your money, and you were even worried about him taking your assets in the divorce?”
“Don’t get divorced easily. Maybe you think he’s garbage, but on the dating market, he’s still desired by all…it’s all because the economy’s doing so bad.”
“There’s no way most men would get back together in these circumstances. Even if you tried begging him, he would still feel like he’s better off having both than getting back together with you. I guess step one, get pregnant. Step two, please your in-laws, suck up to your SILs, and have them help push for the remarriage.”
“My neighbour sent me some dried meat, said it was from his in-laws. I cut it open and was shocked. Why is this meat like plastic? Is it safe to eat?”
Comments say, “I don’t suggest you eat meat that looks like this. It’s obviously got something wrong with it. Here, how about this? I’ll give you an address, and you can mail it over and I’ll check it out for you :P”
“Hogs can’t appreciate fine cuisine.”
“This type of dried meat is super fancy.”
A compilation of the most computer illiterate people you know:
“I just tried to copy paste my C drive, and it said it was going to take 7 hours! Not only that, but my screen keeps going black and white and blue…”
“What the hell are you trying to do, copy pasting your C drive?”
“It said the C drive was full, so I thought I could copy paste it over to D drive, so then I can delete everything in C drive.”
“A coworker of mine back when I worked in a warehouse said she bought a computer 5-6 years ago for 4000 RMB, and she must be able to sell it for 8000 RMB now.”
“A coworker brought his new laptop to the company, and installed QQ [chatting app] in front of me to the default folder. Then he opened up C drive and went, “Why do I have trash software on a new computer?” And then he deleted the file. Just as I was confused, he went, “Huh? Why can’t I open QQ even though I just installed it?” This happened over 10 years ago, and I still remember it like yesterday.”
“We had a new girl in our office, and her computer screen broke, so we arranged to get her a new monitor. Just as we were switching it out, she pointed to the screen and complained, “But all my files are still inside.” And a bunch of us 80’s kids looked at each other and didn’t know what to say. I guess with the new generation growing up with smart phones and iPads, they really do assume “data” is stored in the “screen”.”
“I tried to explain to my roommate why his 2018 MacBook Air cannot play Forza Horizon 5. for 20 minutes. And in the end, he just went, “So my screen is too small? Is that it?” And that was the end of our conversation.”
“Spent 40K on my new computer and it’s laggy as fuck.” [Attaches screenshot of the parts he bought, and his CPU was 29 RMB, and his hard drive was 15 RMB and only 2G. And his monitor is 20K RMB.]
And screenshots of a conversation where one party keeps typing in English, because he couldn’t figure out how to switch back to Chinese input.
A video of a mermaid performance:
Comments say, “She’s not as pretty as the last mermaid that made it onto the trending pages.”
“I just wanna know how she can hold her breath for that long.”
“I watched this video several times as a woman. She looks so natural in water, like she’s a real mermaid. How long did she have to train for this?”
Who is guilty?
Comments say, “Left one. The right little girl looks nervous, but she’s peeking around. Obviously, she knows what happened but she doesn’t dare to speak up. The left little kid looks terrified. Her gaze isn’t moving at all. It means she’s panicking hard on the inside.”
“They obviously did it together.”
“I don’t know who did it, but I know you should question the one who’s about to cry first. Obviously, she’s already at her wit’s end. It won’t be that hard to drive her to a complete emotional breakdown, and once she’s in that state, she’ll answer anything you ask.”
“I did it!! They’re both innocent! It was all me!!”
“A lot of news media are discussing this weird phenomenon: Asian women don’t smoke much, but their lung cancer rates are rising, and a lot of people are stage four by the time they’re diagnosed. University of California’s even established a special research team to look into this, called FANS Study. FANS = Female Asian Never Smokers.
I feel like they’re using American data. Not sure what Chinese data looks like.”
Comments say, “Is it because women cook more and they’re breathing in the smoke and oil from cooking?”
“Whether it’s caused by cooking or not, I’m definitely gonna cook less now.”
“I think it must be genetic.”
“Are primary school math questions this hard nowadays? What is the perimeter of this piece of glass?
52cm B. 80cm C. 104cm D. 128cm.”
Comments say, “If it’s multiple choice, the correct answer has to be D. If it’s fill in your own answer, then I have no idea.”
“Is it not B???”
“The sum of the two sides have to be bigger than the hypotenuse, right?”
