"You mess with Michael Bay and you mess with America. I want you guys out of my country by tomorrow morning."

"But this is Japan!"

"Every country in the world belongs to America"

How about that one time zone in Australia that was established just so people traveling between Adelaide and Perth (back when it took like almost a week) could adjust to the difference in when the sun rose/set

UTC+08:45

"The use of this timezone dates back to at least 1935. The April 1935 Commonwealth Railways public timetable shows that 'Central Time' was used by that government organisation between Wynbring (in the East; Localities on the Trans-Australian Railway) and Rawlinna (in the West). Passengers were advised to advance/removed their watches by 45 minutes each night on their journey."

The number of permanent residents that use this weird time is in the double digits, incl. the town of Cocklebiddy (population:14)

Wait do you unironically believe that God is real, and it created modern nation states and borders? And the divine destiny of some countries' entire existence, the purpose of every person born into the country, is to defend against evil, something that was also created by God??

This is unhinged. "God put a population of people here for the sole purpose of dying in a struggle against some other evil people that God also created, for the benefit of the rest of Europe, which God created to just chill out and not have to deal with this. This is in no way, shape or form mentioned in our holy scriptures, btw. In fact they don't mention us at all, despite creating us for the sole purpose of opposing imperialism, because the scriptures were too busy condemning pork, gay people and mixed fabrics"

I get wanting to oppose Putin, that makes sense. Resisting imperialism? Yeah, makes sense too. "God created us solely to suffer for the benefit of some other people elsewhere in the world"? You lost me there champ.

They don't taste nearly as good after a while, since the onion flavour comes from sulfur in the soil which it utilizes to make itself too pungent for (most) herbivores to eat.

Eventually, in the same soil, the onion stalks will get milder and milder, until there's no more sulfur in the soil. Onions (not just green) grown in soil entirely absent of sulfur will be sweet (esp if the cultivar was sweet to begin with)

It's about how the Democrats are going to reboot The Bund, which will still be set in 1920's Shanghai but starring Americans while filmed entirely in Georgia

It sounds like a terrible idea but I digress

Hello! Depending on where your passport is from, you may not need a visa for a visit under 30 days, consult here (US and Canada are not on the list)

Apps you may need are WeChat and/or AliPay, and for a VPN to be able to onto the liberal website "Hexbear" I use Mullvad.

Early October isn't exactly the best time to visit if you're going during the start, as it's 八一 which means there will be a lot of domestic tourists. A lot of locations/trains will be absolutely flooded or booked out. In later October, the South will still be t-shirt and short weather while the north will be colder, meaning you should pack some jackets (I'd recommend layers to easily put on take off as needed)

The blue share bicycles are available for tourists (as they are AliPay) whereas the yellow Meituan ones are rented through WeChat and require a Chinese phone number (which requires a Visa/身份证 to obtain)

You'll also notice food portions get larger as you travel north. Always reminds me of my Tianjin grandfather saying something about southerners being stingy and/or greedy. If you ever hit the north east (东北）you might actually encounter all you can eat buffets for like $3 USD. Bear this in mind when you're ordering food, to avoid ordering too much once you get to the north.

PC towers that light up like a warehouse rave. I don't need to signal to Rohan that my house calls for aid. It's why I've stuck with a Fractal Design for the past 7 years.

The fancy light bullshit should be add-ons for people who want it, not baked in for everyone who don't. And you just know they're slapping a 200% premium on those shitty lights into the cost of the tower.
