Either wasps, or AI hallucinated rubbish.
I'm guessing AI rubbish

The most insulting thing is people still believing that any of this has anything to do with religion.
Literally the stupidest thing I've ever read... https://lemmy.ml/post/21542099

Yup. I've literally just been in Kazakhstan. Lots of Korean descendants and Korean food. Yim yum

Unless it has a bear, a lion, a buffalo, and a dolphin all wearing dapper suits I'm really not interested

Of course you could. The process will take more energy than replicating a drained battery too.

That really is the funniest thing I've read all day.
I sincerely hope this is a bit... Otherwise I'm sad that someone can be this stupid

Having spent some time in Xinjiang and spoken to many uyghurs and experienced a lot of Uyghur culture I have to object to the term bigger scale, because that implies there is any genocide going on whatsoever

He lost his wife and family over this too. He chose to pursue this over his family and they left him. Good fucking riddance.
One hilarious detail is that he tried bribing the local council, saying that he would help set up an education initiative if he found the coins. A school dedicated to teaching people how to trade bitcoin...
Useless people...
Oh, and one other thing that comes up is those people who blame the wife for throwing out the drive (if that's even how it happened). The coins were basically worth nothing when the drive was lost, and it was only years later when their value rocketed, that this pillock lost his mind and started his unhinged hunt

There's this advert on YouTube shorts for some therapy app or service whatever and it's just vulgar.
It's this bearded dude filming himself washing his face and I guess the camera POV is on his basin or whatever.
The whole thing is meant to come across as though he is an influencer that you've not heard of, that this is a random video of his that you've stumbled across, and that this is just an observation that he's made about therapy that he's relaying to you whilst he exfoliates his putrid flesh.
I've nothing against therapy at all, but this commodification of it, and the way it dishonestly tries to sell it to you is simply capitalism all over. Most people probably need therapy because of the trauma this system has caused on people and yet here it is trying to sell you the cure as well.
To top it all off, watching this 2010s hipster relic scrub his face with soap is nail curlingly vile and I have no idea what the angle is other than trying to make this not appear to be an advert.

Oh wait, no wrong lot
I'm drinking beer I bought from a store, sitting at a restaurant table I didn't offer any food from, and some stranger just handed me a fist full of boiled peanuts. Chengdu might be the most chill city I've visited so far.
I thought I was getting some orange soda or something, but colour me surprised when it turned out to be lethally sweet iron brew. Like the old stuff. I'm so happy
It's all a bit hectic, but it's fun just chatting with people, swapping food and smoking cigs on the platforms when the train stops every now and then. The idea of being on a train for two days is just so fricking cool My digs, my dinner and my desert: ::: spoiler CW Meat & Bleach Demon    :::
There's the odd things that, with the best will in the world, I'm having a trouble buying on the Chinese high street. What Chinese app (Amazon like) do I need to use to get something delivered to a hotel in China?
It comes in an sorts of varieties, from sweet, to fairly bland, but it's so much better than what I'm used to in the UK. Normally I'd never drink the stuff straight, but here it is a different thing altogether, and I'm actually picking it over beer some of the time. It goes great with youtiao (油条), which is a sort of light fried batter stick that you dunk in a bowl of soy milk, sweetened to your taste. Anyway, just thought I'd enlighten anyone who didn't already know. 
There was some sort of anime themed dance off in the mall and the participants were all drawing on this massive fabric wall. Was very happy to see this. The Chinese youth are alright.
I apparently have £400 of Google ad credits. What would be a fun advert to run? Edit: beanis?
Anyone else have the issue when using jerboa that when they try to change input language (by holding the space button) the selection menu just flashes up and then disappears? Somewhat annoying.
It was all over the place in Chongqing, but then I entered a Bei Bing Yang desert and was without for weeks. I'm now in Xingyi and I've finally found it again. Very refreshing, fizzy orange drink with orange bits in. Lovely.
This has allowed me to create some truly incredible ad-lib songs that I sing to my girlfriend on a daily basis, and in no way has her questioning my sanity or her taste in men. I would share them with you but I feel it is an exercise for the reader to make their own.
Regardless, I waltzed into a China mobile shop and not only did they just give me sim card, they even let me pick my phone number. Sadly there were none with 1701 in, which would have been awesome. The lies I've heard about this country are just stacked one atop another. Next step is to open a Chinese bank account because apparently I'm not allowed to do that either.
Throughout my travels I've been taking pictures of my friends sleeping and editing them using the WhatsApp pencil to create a comic strip. This has worked really well, and I even made a stylus out a pen, a cue tip and some foil. However I feel I've reached the limit of what the WhatsApp pencil can offer me. Can anyone recommend a simple doodling app that will let me import a photo and then draw over it. Ideally I'd want the ability to have layers and and to cut and paste. Obviously an assortment of brushes would be fun too. I have the app sketchbook, but it's a little too advanced for my needs and frustratingly also lacks some very simple features (such as deleting/copying selections). Thank you comrades.
I'm seeing some real time, grade-A consent manufacturing regarding this massive crowdstrike outage. Every article I see blames Microsoft. I have no love for Microsoft, but they were not to blame. The people who are too blame are crowdstrike, the software company who deployed the broken update that caused the outage. \* Puts on immaculately thought out tinfoil hat * Crowdstrike is more a piece of US surveillance tech than it is an actual security suite. In essence it can take any data from a device it is installed on and can execute any command on those devices (due to the way the software very tightly integrated with the windows operating system, bypassing security on the OS). A powerful tool when you consider that the US government can subpoena any us corporation to hand over the information they hold. Now, crowdstrike had a huge market share, but you can bet that after this event people are going to be less willing to use it, and this will result in the US losing a huge part of its surveillance network. People don't care what security suite they use, so long as it works, so people are going to switch. Cue the absolute deluge of articles I've been seeing blaming this on Microsoft. An operating system so ingrained into the business world that no-one is going to switch to an alternative, no matter how much they fuck up. They can take the heat and mitigate the damage to crowdstrike. Thus preserving the US state surveillance appetatus. \* Tin foil hat removed and placed back into its extremely well thought out box * What do people think?
