Ukraine claims that it has taken advantage of the chaos in Moscow to attack from multiple fronts, gaining much ground.
Comments say, “Haven’t they been claiming to be gaining ground a ton lately? Never amounts to anything though.”
“The fish has taken the bait. If they get BTFO’d again, they’re gonna lose all morale.”
“If they attack, aren’t they just gonna die more quickly?”
“Ukraine will celebrate taking a single village for two months. If they were actually gaining ground, they’d be celebrating everywhere.”
More compilations of people’s parents and their strange views on money.
“My parents are super frugal and will wash their masks and re-wear them. How do I persuade them?”
Pictures of grain and junk that someone’s parents is hoarding.
“Ate overnight crab they kept in the fridge, and got food poisoning and passed out in the bathroom. Had to get an ambulance to go to the hospital for emergency treatment. The whole thing cost several grand.”
“To save on getting takeout, they bought tons of seasoning, lunch boxes, camping stoves, and cooked food themselves. Only to find that they always overbuy groceries and waste a ton of time. And now the cooking pot is just for making instant noodles and they still order takeout all the time.”
“My mom’s scooter broke and she refuses to fix it. She’s fallen off the thing and injured herself three times now. The hospital bills add up to almost 20K RMB. And then she gets mad at me for selling the scooter.”
“Doesn’t want to waste food so they force themselves to eat way too much, and now they’ve got high blood pressure and cholesterol and blood sugar.”
“Keeps everything in the fridge, whether it’s raw or cooked, for several fucking months.”
Picture of a bald brush.
“My boyfriend’s parents are both retired teachers. They’ve got plenty of money, but they’re stingy as fuck. They’ve used the same toilets in their house for over a decade. The water tank is broken. The lid is missing. The seat is gone. Won’t let us try to fix it or switch it out. It’s just a bare toilet that you need to have practised squats for ten years in order to even properly use.
One day, his mom squatted for too long and lost circulation in her legs. When she went to get up, she fell backwards on the toilet and crushed the thing. Got a broken tailbone, and cuts all over her ass and hands. Over 10K in hospital bills. Even after insurance, what we had to pay could buy five new toilets.
But not long after we finally got them new toilets, the community built free public bathrooms. To save on water, his parents refused to shit at home. So on a winter night, 11pm, his dad needed to pee but wouldn’t do it at home, so he hurries to the public bathroom. But it was dark and the roads were slippery, and the water on their front steps had frozen to ice. Bam. He fell on his ass. Broken wrist, broken calf. Another 20K in hospital bills. Even after insurance, what we paid was enough to pay for the water bill for ten years.”
“They’ve got a washing machine, but won’t use it. They hand-wash all their clothes. They won’t pour out the laundry water. They save it for flushing the toilet with. They always buy way too much food, because it’s cheaper in bulk, and then end up eating rotting food. Every year, they make a whole shitload of pickles. And when you go to eat it the next year, it’s all covered in maggots. There’s moths all over their house. There’s crap accumulated in every corner. They won’t throw anything away. There’s barely anywhere to walk in a 180 sq metre ginormous house. They never throw away their plastic bags, and use it for their trash can. But it’s not the right size, so their trash can is always filthy! There’s a whole lot more too!”
“My mom wouldn’t throw away three mouldy tomatoes, and got the entire family in the hospital. Between the four of us, we racked up 40K in hospital bills. What is the point of her frugality?”
“I hate it when men feel the need to go on and on about breastfeeding. The only correct answer is to go along with your wife. If you don’t have a wife, then it’s definitely none of your business. Shut the fuck up.
The promotion of breastfeeding has gotten so politicised. It’s fucking everywhere. From the time you start showing up to your pregnancy checkups, there’s posters and lectures everywhere trying to brainwash you. It’s a huge psychological shock. Breastfeeding is often the most painful part of childbearing for a woman. Most people suffer more breastfeeding than giving birth itself. Not to mention the emotional pressure.
Often times, people have their opinions about the advantages of breastmilk over formula before they’ve actually done any research. And all the research is about what’s good for the baby. And most of the conclusions have nothing to do with breastmilk itself. I’ve seen a research paper that says breastfed babies are less likely to get ear infections, because nipples are higher up, so they’re sitting up higher while feeding?? What the fuck does this have to do with breastmilk itself? Ex-fucking-cuse me. Or the conclusions aren’t that significant, and it could be because of a lot of factors. Like a lot of people go on and on about nutrition, but they don’t even know that breastmilk doesn’t even contain iron.
There are only three advantages to breastmilk. 1. For newborns, they’re easier to digest. 2. There’s some almost supernatural bullshit about boosting the immune system. 3. Builds an emotional bond. Nothing about breastmilk is irreplaceable. 70-80% of Americans born in the 70s and 80s never had breastmilk. The breastfeeding worship cult of the 90s is really more of a middle-class fashion thing. The main benefit in our country is to make women easier to control, and to save money.
In all the research about breastmilk, no weight is given at all to the suffering of the mother. Some people have an easy time breastfeeding. Sure, maybe they’re fine. But more people suffer overly-swollen breasts every 3 hours, blocked milk ducts, opening the ducts with hot towels, feeding, and then pain relief. Every time, it takes an hour to get through a feeding. Every hour of every day of their lives is taken up by breastfeeding.
Not to mention, you’re kept at home and can’t go anywhere. You can’t go to work. You don’t have income. Your socialisation grinds to a half. Your career dies. Your figure is destroyed. You’re dirty and gross. And every day you’re drinking high-fat, high-salt broths. And you don’t get a full night’s sleep. And you get inflamed mammary glands all the time. Even if you were in prison, they’re not allowed to wake you up every three hours no matter day or night.
If you’re not the one going through this torture, then shut the fuck up. (I’m talking to men here). If you’re not taking the suffering for someone else, then shut the fuck up. (I’m talking to other women here). Shut the fuck up with the whole, “this is for your own good, you won’t get sick later”. Did you write the papers?
If you’ve got breasts, then breastfeed if you want to. Don’t if you don’t. It’s up to you. Men need to shut their mouth on this topic. Breastfeeding is a horrible experience. A lot of people breastfeed once and never want another baby again. For the sake of our birth rate, I suggest anyone who doesn’t have a uterus shut up on this.”
A tiktok video of a Chinese-African mix kid, with the blogger saying, “This little boy is named Longlong. He’s mixed Chinese and African descent. His father is Chinese, from Henan, Xuchang. And his dad abandoned him. His mother has remarried and has a new family. Because of his Chinese appearance, he’s often bullied by other black kids, and can’t go to school. If there’s anyone who knows his father in Xuchang, please make him take his kid back home. This kid is so pitiable. He just sits alone outside all day, waiting for his dad. This kid is in Rwanda right now.”
Comments say, “I don’t get the comment section, acting like it’d be a huge mistake for the dad to take the kid back. It’s his own son! Why can’t he take him home? If he doesn’t want a kid, when why didn’t he keep his pants on to begin with?”
“The kid’s dad has no sense of humanity or responsibility. And some of the responses here are pretty lacking in humanity too.”
“Are you gonna hook up the black kids in China who were abandoned by their n-word dads too? [Doge]” (except he didn’t use “n-word”)
A compilation of the most hilarious comments under the news about the sunken Titanic submarine.
“It’s only 4 kilometres down. Why not link your submarine to a metal cord that can transmit signal before you go down?”
“That cord would be heavier than the submarine, lol.”
“If it’s in water, it doesn’t have weight.”
“It’s made of metal. How does it not have weight?”
“I can hold up a 150kg cube of iron in water, but I can’t do it on land. Go research the reasons yourself.”
“4000 metres is like 40 kilometres, isn’t it? Even if you were driving, that would take a whole hour to cross. Not to mention it’s underwater.”
“There’s no way it would explode. And it’s impossible for them to run out of oxygen. Because they’ll breathe it back out. And then suck it back in. It’s an infinite loop. How could they suffocate? They’ll starve to death or die or boredom first.”
“When you breath out, it’s CO2.”
“How’s that possible? Where did the oxygen go? Lol.”
“The oxygen turned into CO2.”
“Then where did the CO2 go??”
Comments say, “This is better than any standup comedian I’ve watched.”
“What’s 0.8x0.5? What’s 50K times 20K?” (both meme math questions that has caused endless flame wars on the Chinese internet, similar to whether the dress is blue or white.”
“They’re almost making me doubt my understanding of unit conversion.”
A tiktok video of a little kid screaming at his mother for not making his favourite noodles.
Comments say, “Korean women are right on this one. You shouldn’t give birth to a knife that’s going to stab you in the back.”
“Right now, he’s an annoyance to his parents. Once he’s a little older, he’ll be a threat to humanity.”
“This is the karma moms with sons signed up for.”
There is a long, long, LONG compilation of the various funny responses actor Bai Jingting makes to his fans and how humourous he is as a person. Almost all of it is extremely hard to translate puns. I think I won’t waste people’s time, but know that there is 9 different screenshots of, on average, 5 puns each.
A author reblogs two other blog posts, saying, “This is so real. I’ve also discovered that a lot of parents need children to give them emotional support.”
“I remember once I got mad at my mom, and told her that I hate her. She turned around and immediately stalked off and abandoned me. I had to chase after her and keep repeating I’m sorry, I’m sorry. It was a really long road. I kept crying and repeating I’m sorry. I was terrified and scared, and now that I think about it, when I burst out with that line, I knew it was wrong. I actually love my parents. But my mom’s reaction made me feel panicked and helpless. It’s not until I saw this post that I realised that my emotions could be calmly accepted and understood by some people. I’m still upset whenever I remember this now. Sure. I was at fault first for saying something shitty to my mom. But I feel like my mom is more similar to the little kid who had an emotional breakdown, and not me. And I was more like the adult doing their best to calm down a tantrumming kid.”
“In my impression, I always have to say I love my mom the most, that my mom is the prettiest. Or else my mom would get mad. When I was little, my mom took me to her workplace once, and she asked me whether her or one of her coworkers was prettier. I actually thought her coworker was prettier, and I hesitated before I answered, and my mom felt like her dignity was insulted and she got mad. She even lectured me later about how I have to say she’s the prettiest. But prettiness is pretty objective. Why do I have to feel that my mom is the prettiest?”
A tiktok video of a little girl in kindergarten who can’t find a seat for herself, and her brilliant solution.
Comments say, “She’s so calculating.”
“Why do you sound proud of this, rather than ashamed?”
“This is a bad seed.”
Would it be possible to explain 0.8x0.5 and 50K times 20K memes? Like, isn't the answer obvious? (0.4, and depending on the meaning of K, either 1000 K² or 1000000000 or 1000000 K)?
PS: dress is definitely blue.
“Korean women are right on this one. You shouldn’t give birth to a knife that’s going to stab you in the back.” Is this a Korean saying or something?
