    Holy shit, I almost choked on my sandwich scrolling past this one. Way to sum Lemmy up in one word.

    Of course China doesn't exist, it's just Taiwan and West Taiwan.

    China is a made up country to create a bogeyman for the government to fearmonger to hapless citizens in a bid for control of their lives. Have you ever seen a Chinese character? How can you call that words? You can't read that. No one can. It's all a government psyop.

    You gotta get artistic with it. A couple of pintos as patsies on the soapy tiddies, a garbanzo for Dean's head, a couple of red kidney's wearing jeans, etc.

    You got this.

    Scene open, interior view of what appears to be a 90s basement, hardly visible beneath an ever present glow.

    Tesseract guy in wizard robes, pondering an orb that flashes out images of random hapless Lemmings following the Nicole rabbit hole to its conclusion to their horror, gathering his indignation for the lawlessness of these federated lands from within the confines of his home made of the pure golden light of his righteousness.

    Camera pan zoom out, reveals that the home is within a light bulb. A moth divides itself by zero as the light winks out but there are no tankies to hear it, screeches someone cosplaying as a tankie.

    Femcelmemes posts a meme simultaneously crying for help and roasting everyone involved that is so lit that Fediversal peace is achieved, until the next time a leftist is technically incorrect, or worse, correct.

    My China related conspiracy theory:

    As a total layman, if I look up the origins of the English word "mango", I find its first use in the 1500's by Portuguese traders converting the Tamil word mankay.

    The Chinese word for mango is "mang guo", a cognate. What's weird is that "guo" means roughly "fruit," also used in "ping guo" for apple.

    When I ask around if the original Portuguese translation came from the Chinese word, rhe common answer is no, and that's the conspiracy.

    I think the word has already transferred into Portuguese through Mandarin before its first recorded use, either through direct trade or via Arabic traders who also visited Mandarin speaking ports.

    Because otherwise the match on the "guo" is just too coincidental.

    As far as I know, mang guo itself is a loanword

    I think you might be right, but I give up on trying to link the damn articles.

    It's hard (apparently for me) to find English articles about Chinese etymology. Bunch of pdfs or translations of Chinese pages.

    At the latest I saw claims Chinese adopted the "mang" term as late as the 1800's.

    Another said China adopted it at the same time as Portugal, during the 1500s southeast Asia trades.

    Their first words referencing the fruit were in the 600's but that was a completely different word.

    I thought this would be an easy find... it's simultaneously annoying and fascinating how tricky it is to get a clean answer.

    Or I'm just dumb. Not claiming my research training is any good, but I Googled my damnedest.

    I once went 9 days without pooping in a hospital. They wouldn't let me use the toilet (wanted me to go in a pan), so I refused to shit. They even gave me laxatives, and I beat them. The nurse said they were going to have to stick things up my ass if I don't shit soon, so I gave up my protest - though was able to use the toilet. It was painful and I clogged it with pure shit. Never again.

    Every three days is like my normal. I've gone 5 days on more than a few occasions. I even eat a lot of beans and stay hydrated.
