A blogger posts a photo of herself laying down by the side of the road, commenting, “Laying flat is a way of life.” The comment section is filled with similar sentiments.
“One time, at 3AM, I suddenly wanted to see the ocean, so I booked a train ticket for 4AM, took no luggage, booked no hotels, and just went to a beach and napped there with my brother for the whole afternoon.”
“When I was little, we had a neighbour who often had people randomly laying around outside his house. My mom told me he had mental problems, but now that I’m grown up…I feel like I’m not far from where he is.”
“Whenever I get tired or upset, I just lay down on the ground, whether it’s at the store, the train station, or the park. My boyfriend doesn’t know what to do every time, so he usually lies down with me.”
“I took my son mountain climbing, and whenever I saw a cool-looking tree, I’d try climb it. My son says he’s too socially anxious and just waited for me under the tree every time.”
“But if I walk past, I might feel whether or not you’re still breathing. I hope you don’t mind. I’m just a female uni student trying to help others.” OP replies to this one, “I’m afraid I’ll twist your arm out of socket from reflex. I’ve broken someone’s arm before.”
“I slept for an hour on the road outside of Zibo Glass Museum.”
“Oh god, don’t encourage me to do this. I already lay around all day at home. Now I’m gonna start doing it outside too.”
“A couple of days ago, I’d just finished summiting Mount Tai and felt like my legs were going to snap at any moment. My best friend and I just went into the visitor centre and slept in their chairs for two hours.”
“I squat everywhere. I feel like standing itself is exhausting.”
“But that’s our natural state, I feel like. When I was little, if I got tired of walking, I’d just lay down on the road. But now that we’re grown, we’re too scared of what other people think.”
“But if you’re dark-skinned and ugly like me, you might get mistaken for a beggar.”
An askreddit question, “What has made you swear off of a certain type of food for the rest of your life?”
The top-voted reply is, “I used to love eating those miniature pumpkins. They’re super sweet and soft. Until today. Just now. My beautiful and caring girlfriend made me some pumpkin rice. I was still on my way back from work, when she started bragging to me about her pumpkin rice. I was filled with anticipation as I opened the rice cooker…to find myself face to face with three intact, whole pumpkins sitting in a pot of half-cooked rice.
The rice was apparently undercooked because too little water was added. But surprisingly, the pumpkins were actually fully cooked. So my girlfriend told me, “Thank god I steamed three of them. I’ll eat one and you eat the other two. That way, we’ll get full even without any rice.”
Fucking save me. I don’t want to eat even one.
Because she didn’t even remove the seeds from the pumpkins.
But she insists that we can’t waste food. She says she’ll add more water to the rice and cook it again tomorrow. But if the pumpkins are actually cooked, then we have to eat it.
It’s so soft and smushy and yellow that I feel like I’m eating shit.
My girlfriend is eating while spitting pumpkin seeds with every other bite. She’s insisting, “It’s great! It’s super tasty! We always eat pumpkins like this where we live.”
She’s from Nanjing. Is there anyone from Nanjing here? Fucking explain this shit to me—you eat pumpkins this way in Nanjing? Like they’re goddamn watermelons, you just take a huge bite and spit out the seeds afterwards?
I never want to eat pumpkins again.”
Comments say, “Well, I never remove the seeds of normal pumpkins, but I don’t know about miniature ones.”
“Pumpkin seeds are actually pretty nutritious. My advice is just to shut up and eat what your girlfriend cooks.”
“How is this at all similar to watermelons? I never bother spitting out watermelon seeds.”
Actor Aaron Yan has been accused by his ex-boyfriend that he began dating him when he was only 16, had sexually assaulted him throughout their relationship, taken sexual videos of him, and leaked those videos. He has also attempted to threaten him into silence by referring to organised crime connections. Aaron Yan has admitted that he has leaked some sex tapes, but he never intended to, and it was all an accident.
Lawyer Chen Yu’an has explained that just because he didn’t deliberately leak the videos, doesn’t mean he is entirely innocent. Because the victim was only 16, he counts as a minor, and if it’s proven that he took sex tapes of him, then it violates Child Sexual Exploitation Act, and he could be facing a prison sentence of between 1 to 7 years, and a fine under one million Taiwanese dollars. If he took the videos without his knowledge, then he could be facing a prison sentence above seven years, and a fine of under 5 million Taiwanese dollars.
The lawyer goes on to explain that the Child Sexual Exploitation Act, and the old Child Sex Work Prevention Act, specifically targets filming or photographing minors or owning pictures, videos, photos, or other electronic versions of such images. It has a sentence of 1 to 7 years and a fine of under 1 million Taiwanese dollars. If force, threats, drugs, fraud, or hypnosis, or other ways of going against the victim’s will were used, then it’s a sentence of over 5 years, and a fine of under 3 million Taiwanese dollars.
Comments say, “But he got into the relationship consensually though.”
“Jesus Christ, what is up with my taste. I remember being really into him when I was little.”
“This is a lot worse than whatever is going on with Huang Zijiao.”

Comments say, “If you switch the genders, this would be at the top of the trending posts. Stop letting feminazis get away with this.”
“How deeply did you hurt her, that you’ve pushed her to this?”
“Ignoring the facts, is the man completely innocent? If he doesn’t have anything to feel guilty over, why doesn’t he fight back? [Doge] [Doge] [Doge]”
“A little kid on the train wants my Lina Bell doll. What should I do? If it was a knock off, I’d just give it to her. But this is an authentic doll I bought second hand, with the original bag and everything. I actually really like it. But the kid is slamming her little table and crying, and her mother asked me if I could give it to her. I said no, but she’s still tantrumming. Her whole family is mad at me now.”
Comments say, “Tell the train stewardess that there’s a kid who keeps crying over here and you think she might have been abducted.”
“Tell them its the last thing your ex-boyfriend left you before he died, and start crying louder than the kid.”
“Come on, the parents were nice enough about it. They could’ve been open burglars, but they at least asked politely first. [Doge]”
The Lama Temple in Beijing has gotten famous for granting wishes, and a blogger posts a compilation of people’s experience.
“I went to the Lama Temple and wished for a good job. Now I got employed at a state-funded company and makes 2K a month. Can’t even keep myself alive lol.”
“But admit it, all your parents and elders think it’s a great job.”
“I prayed for money at the Lama Temple, and on my way back home, I got ran over by a car. Broke my bones. Ended up laying in a hospital bed for three months. I still got paid my salary the whole time, plus the compensation from the driver.”
“I prayed on the 9th for a good-looking date, and on the 13th, a good-looking guy asked me out. But I’m a fucking guy too.”
“I prayed that I’d lose 20 pounds, and I did. Because I got mouth ulcers and can’t eat anything.”
“I prayed for men to leave me alone, and within 24 hours, every single guy in my friend circle announced they were in a relationship.”
“I prayed my brother would get into the best highschool in our area, and he got admitted as literally the last student. Their minimum score is exactly his score, down to the decimal points.”
“I prayed for a baby, and got divorced soon after. That’s when I found out it was my ex-husband who was sterile.”
“I prayed at New Years that I’d make six-figures a year. And now, I’m married.”
“I prayed last year that I would pass every exam I took. And for the whole year, I didn’t have any exams, because they were all cancelled by covid lol.”
“It’s like some kind of God Intern is working there.”
A blogger reposts a Chinese-medicine doctor’s post, where he claims, “Western doctors think that rabies have a 100% fatality rate, but a recipe from Zhang Zhongjing might be able to turn your fate.
Rabies is an urgent disease brought on by the rabies virus. When symptoms show, it has a fatality rate of 100%. There are over 60K cases around the world every year, with India having the most number of cases at over 20K.
But just because western doctors can’t do anything about it, doesn’t mean Chinese doctors can’t. The Saint of Medicine, Zhang Zhongjing, wrote about a “bruise diffusing soup” in his “Treatise on Typhoid” which can cure rabies.
It’s super simple! It only takes three ingredients: rhubarb, peach pit, and Eupolyphaga sinensis. This is a medicine designed to cure stagnation of blood and insanity. Although this recipe was first used to cure stagnation of blood in women’s stomachs, but Chinese medicine has used it to treat the symptoms of “blood stagnating within, insanity manifesting with out”, and has seen great results using this “bruise diffusing soup” on curing rabies.”
The blogger writes, “I feel like this is a scam. If people really did believe him, there could be a lot of lives lost.”
The comments say, “I mean, if you’re actually in that situation, why not? You might as well try both. After all, western medicine says they can’t do anything about it.”
“If you die, the excuse Chinese-medicine doctors always use is that their medicine only work on people who are fated so. If you get cured, you were fated to be. If not, it wasn’t meant to be.”
“This recipe was used a lot in the decades just after China was established. I remember in over 50 cases, 6 died. It was recorded in the sixties. But the vaccine works 100% of the time, so you shouldn’t bet everything on the last resort.”
“A student refused to give up his seat on the bus, and was slapped four times by an old man. The student never fought back. After the student got to his stop and left the bus, the old man suddenly had a heart attack and passed away. Afterwards, the old man’s family is suing the student for 500K.”
Comments ask, “For what reason?”
“Eh, an injust country is gonna see a lot of injustice.”
“I know, he must have armour optimised for thorn damage.”
The 16 year old partner of Aaron Yan is holding a press conference talking about his experience, when Aaron Yan showed up and demands to publicly debate him.
Comments say, “Wow, Aaron Yan sure has a strong heart. He doesn’t break down easy, does he?”
“Is Taiwan usually this full of drama? Hahahahaha.”
“They wouldn’t dare write this for a TV show because everyone would think it was too unrealistic.”
“He’s just doing this for fame. Why hold a press conference otherwise? It’s pretty obvious from his social media.”
Typo: "find of under" should be "fine of under"
