A compilation of people sharing cool facts about Harry Potter:
“Snape’s hair is super greasy because Harry’s grandpa holds the copyright for shampoo in the magic world, so he never uses it XD”
“Seriously, this is why Harry’s family is rich.”
“Aunt Penny and Uncle Vernon gave Harry a coin, a toothpick, and a napkin for Christmas—three symbols that form the Deathly Hallows.”
“The words Dumbledore said before the banquet: Nitwit, blubber, oddment, tweak, is what each House thinks about the other Houses. Ravenclaw thinks the other Houses are all nitwits. Gryffindor thinks the other Houses aren’t brave enough and they blubber. Slytherin thinks the other Houses are oddments. Hufflepuffs are super chill so they think the other schools are tweaks.”
“The first character of each of the seven books put together read: hahahahahahaha.”
“Sirius Black fell into the curtain in June 1996. Detective Conan started airing at the beginning of 1996. So if you want to, Sirius could’ve watched Detective Conan.”
Under the hashtag #woman wants to delay wedding after her mother passed away and was sentenced to returning her bride price, a blogger writes, “If they’d already agree to a date for the marriage, then at least she could’ve held a simple ceremony in front of her mother’s grave, to fulfil her mother’s last wishes. That’s being a proper good daughter. Most likely, this lady just didn’t want to get married, and used her mother’s death as the excuse. I mean, how long is she gonna grieve for? Three years? Or a hundred days? If it was just a hundred days, then I think the husband wouldn’t gone for it. Most likely, she just wanted to postpone it indefinitely.”
Comments say, “Her mom’s been dead for half a year. 100 days has long passed already.”
“Who the hell wants to get married while their parents just passed away? What kind of logic is that? She needs to get as far away from that man as possible.”
“There’s probably something wrong with her.”
“I’ve seen a girl before who didn’t want to be an obvious whore, so she dressed herself up as a car model, and went travelling the world with all kinds of sugar daddies. She was covered in big brand name luxuries.
At first, I didn’t think she was too smart at all, because she was kind of known among her friends for being young and naive. But later on, she bought a top of the line Panamera, got all kinds of luxury goods, and also became best friends with the wealthiest heiress in her circles, who took her to parties and helped her make money. She’s not too smart, not too pretty either, but she’s super high EQ and IQ and good at socialising and putting on a mask.
She said something I’ve always remembered: It’s a bit too much to demand a million from one man, but if you ask 10 men for 100K, they’ll all feel like, “Well, that’s not too bad.””
A tiktok video of a girl who’s committed to doing 10 pushups every time she thinks about her ex:
Comments say, “Wow, it’s pretty rare to see a girl who can do pushups.”
“With that kind of muscles, why don’t you be my husband instead~ <3”
“Ex-boyfriend: You can commit to doing so many pushups, but you still can’t stop thinking about me? [Doge]”
According to Yangzi News, on 26th of September, the two bullies involved in Dacheng Bilingual School Bullying Case and their parents have been given a stern lecture by the police. The school’s vice principles Pei and Bai, and classroom teachers Xin and Hou have been fired. This case has gained a lot of attention in society due to the excessive nature of the bullying and the young age of the bullies. On the 27th, reporters contacted parents of Dacheng Bilingual Primary School’s students, who revealed to the reporter that since the case has been publicised, neither bullies have returned to class. None of the parents have received an explanation or a plan of action from the school. “We’re very concerned about what’s going to happen to the bullies now. If they transfer to a new school, they’re only going to put other kids in danger.”
A parent, Mister Wang, tells the reporters that the teachers fired in this case were scapegoats too. “The classroom teacher who was fired only started taking this class this semester. They’ve barely been there a couple of months. All of last year, a different teacher was in charge of this classroom. He was the one around for most of the year and a half that the kid was getting bullied, and he did nothing about it. And he hasn’t suffered any kind of punishment at all. The vice-principle who got fired seemed like a very competent and experienced teacher in our meetings with him too.” Mister Wang was very upset about Vice-Principle Mister Pei being fired, but he believes that as a private school, the school has the right to hire or fire any teachers they want.
Mister Wang still approves of Dacheng Bilingual’s educational standards. He’s not considering transferring his child to a different school. But at the same time, he told the reporters about his child’s experience with bad assistant teachers at the school. The assistant teacher for his own child is not someone who’s actually licensed to teach, or even went to higher education. “Assistant teachers are more like nannies or babysitters. Their capability and sense of responsibility can be all over the place. My kid isn’t boarding, but he does nap at school, which is the assistant teacher’s responsibility. And that assistant teacher demanded that kids go to nap with their clothes on, so she doesn’t have to watch the bedding.” Mister Wang says that he’s thought about complaining to the school, but was worried his child would get targeted, so he just put up with it.
Mister Wang explains that Dacheng Bilingual is top-ranked among Datong’s private schools. They have top of the line equipment and teachers, and that’s why so many parents pay so much money to send their kids there. “The tuition for primary school is about 36K a year. After third grade, the school recommends all the kids board, so it’s easier to manage their studies.” Mister Wang told the reporters. Since Dacheng Bilingual is in the new section of Datong, if the students family still lives in the old section, it can be difficult to take them to and from school. “I paid extra for my kid to ride the school bus. Originally, I was going to have him board from third grade, but with this bullying incident, I’m definitely not having him stay at school. Even if we have to spend more money on renting a school bus, we’d still have him come home every day.”
Comments say, “I want to see some kind of results from this—preferably with prison sentences involved.”
“There’s a reason marriage rates and birth rates are low.”
“They’ve fired the teachers and principles. Isn’t it time to do something about the parents now?”
Under the hashtag #multiple hospitals are closing obstetrics department, a blogger writes, “Just woke up out of hunger and ate a snack, and saw this hashtag trending. Guess I have to say something about it.
The best method is just to completely open up international marriage. Chinese women don’t want Chinese men, then they can marry out, no matter which country they want to go to, what race of men they want, it’s fine. If they don’t want to be married at all, then they can take care of themselves until they die. If they’re happy being single and child free, why not?
As for Chinese men, anyone who wants to marry can marry a foreign woman. We can study Korean matchmakers, and introduce South-East Asian women or women from other places. They’re so eager to come to China. Don’t think I’m exaggerating. We all know how it is. By that point, who cares if Chinese women are marrying or not? We could even send them all out of the country, so Chinese men can bring more foreign women in. And population will naturally rise. We might even see another baby boom like we had in the 70s and 80s.
Then everyone’s happy, and the birth rate situation’s solved, right?
Why force people who hate each other to live with each other? Chinese women look down on Chinese men, feel like they’re poor and boring and lazy and unhelpful and whatever? Then we can each go out own way. Women from South-East Asia never complain about this shit. Everything’ll be solved if we open up marrying internationally.
Honestly, there’s always a solution to every problem.”
Comments say, “So you just want more Africans here? Whether they’re men or women? You could’ve just said that directly. Why beat around the bush?”
“We can just fast forward to the final step: We black people are the true Chinese people. All your yellow Chinese people are all fakes.”
“I mean, it’s easy for brainwashing to take root though. With social media and even official media the way it is, you can’t promise that the Ukrainians and Burmese and Kenyans who come over don’t turn into feminazis too.”
A compilation of ridiculous situation people have gotten into because of low blood sugar:
“Someone passed out from low blood sugar on the subway and everyone’s asking around for who has food. I passed over a banana, and it made its way around the subway and ended back in my hands because, “You can’t eat bananas on an empty stomach.””
“I was buying gold at a jewellery store and just as the sales agent was telling me around the price, my blood sugar got too low and I collapsed on the counter. And the sales agent was all like, “Sweetie, it’s really not that expensive.””
“In military training, my blood sugar crashed, and I was in the front row. My vision just went dark and I stumbled forward, and my roommate next to me thought I was going to beat up the sergeant.”
“Standing in line for hotpot, and passed out from low blood sugar. The waitress screamed at me, “You first! You first! You don’t have to stand in line! Don’t fall over!” I took a rest and felt a little better, and when I got back in line, everyone was like, “No, you go first, you go first, we can wait a bit longer.””
“I used to be a teacher, and passed out while giving a lecture. From that point on, even the worst boys in my class studied English really hard, because they all thought I was terminally ill or something.”
“I’d just gotten the first shot of my covid vaccine, and I was feeling fine, and suddenly passed out going down the stairs. Woke up in a hospital room covered in a white blanket, and my roommate had posted a photo of me to social media. My Professor thought I’d died.”
“Just as I was getting on the subway, I felt my blood sugar crashing, and with trembling hands, I finally managed to pull a piece of candy out of my pocket. I couldn’t stop my hands from shaking, so it took a lot of effort to bring the candy to my mouth, and that’s when I got tackled by two cops. Woke up inside the police station. They’d already done a blood draw on me.”
“Ordered some takeout, and passed out as I opened the door to get it. When I woke up, I was lying in the lap of the delivery driver, and he was spoon-feeding me my food.”
“Went out for barbecue, and my friend had stayed up all night and had low blood sugar, and he passed out while we were waiting on our order. The waitress was all like, “Oh my god, he starved to death!!””
“I just finished cooking my instant noodles when I passed out. My mom thought I’d died, and I woke up to her slapping the shit out of me T_T”
“A couple of years back, I passed out from low blood sugar on the train before. The stewardess carried me to the food carriage. Later on, the train operator came by to be all like, “Wow, that’s the first time I’ve seen someone pass out from starvation since China opened up!””
Are there many Africans in China? Is there a wider context for that comment about Ukrainians and Burmese and Kenyans? Like, is significant immigration a thing that's actually happening?
Is “feminazi” pretty close to the term that people will use, or more of a translation choice in place of a more generic “feminists bad” word?
