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.
Holy shit, I almost choked on my sandwich scrolling past this one. Way to sum Lemmy up in one word.
A thousand words, technically.
Due to advancements in prompt engineering and image generation, the going rate for a picture has dropped to thirty words.
Also the picture looks like shit.
Laughs in cystic fibrosis, 3 days is rookie numbers
Wow, Greg has not seen some serious shit.
I’m gonna be the first china doesn’t exist guy of lemmy.
You mean southern Mongolia?
Of course China doesn’t exist, it’s just Taiwan and West Taiwan.
Mainland Taiwan
I thought it was upper and lower Mongolia
New North Vietnam
How Long is a Chinese name
China is a social construct
(Except when it’s a ceramic construct)
Must be from Bhutan
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.
The Dynasties ended get over it!
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.
And over there, the horniest people in the psych ward
Are we talking about Miisha?
Oh hey. You rang?
guy who got kicked out of the paych ward for f**king another patient
He already said Lemmy.
It’s a room full of hunched over people with bulging neck veins, furiously masturbating without lube because they need the friction.
Lemmy: "Greg what is your opinion on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang having an affair with a chinese spy?
Greg: “Laxative, please.”
Only thing scarier then Greg is the post apocalyptic girls with thier boobs out
Yall need fiber
I ate too much rasin bran and just took one of the biggest shits of my life. It wasn’t even that much, like half a box. It scares me thinking about what would happen if I ate more.
Beans
Fiber would have made it hard for Greg, who had to endure 3 days without pooping.
Ah, No Number2 November
Can you make this a whole series? 😂
Oh God, there would be lots of beans.
Its never enough beans
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.
What about Nicole? Don’t forget all the non bean things in here.
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.
He had to survive 3 days without pooping
I guess I married a Greg. My wife once spent a 3-day vacation without pooping at all. She lost a couple pounds once she finally went
I’m already training for the 2027 Lemmy no poop July challenge
In 2028, you’ll need a hell of a knife
What, y’all never been constipated before?
Thankfully not. Beans and legumes keep me regular as a clock. I highly recommend that or fiber supplements. But take it slow if you try.
Not intentionally.
I’m having back pain right now and haven’t pooped in 4 days. 💪
