Communal, air-conditioned snooze spots would be sick. Who cares if it's an IKEA?

Fingers crossed they understand that the toilets are not real

The store puts plexiglass over the tops of them so you can't poop into them. Maybe they learned that from experience.

Redditors going full reddit-logo and concluding, based on nothing but vibes apparently, that Chinese people are unable to grasp the concept of display furniture.

Even more gross racism downthread. Death to reddit.

In the meantime in Ikea in Poland somebody tried to eat a fake apple:

Shang Dynasty China had ceramic plumbing and sewer systems in 1600 BCE.

Freaking out about people sitting on couches and laying on beds in a literal furniture show room would be too on the nose if you did it to make fun of liberals.

I wanna see a similar clip of a Chinese supermarket with somebody checking a melon for ripeness and the American video talking about how Chinese are disgusting because they all get together to touch food in public before it gets sold.

Back during covid chuds were spreading rumors that Chinese were cannibals. Just some old Victorian Era racism in the 21st century.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 10 months ago

Western propaganda is so pervasive that people are still claiming China is filled with every restaurant using gutter oil.

They think Chinese people are all dirty. It's fucking disgusting

~~and it's coming from the people who use toilet paper~~

[-] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I think this one is a bad take since toilet paper was invented by Chinese and is afaik used a lot in East Asia.

coming from the people that don't wash their rice

had to scroll most of the way down to read that it was during a bad heatwave. no doubt that was the first good sleep some of those people had in days, especially if they don't have home ACs or they aren't efficient enough

also what better way to advertise your stores furniture then comfy people enjoying it?

[-] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago

happens over here with mosques, when it's really bad some people, usually workers or farmers who were doing something near by go to the mosque and take a nap since it has AC

I am presently in Wuhan and it hasn't dipped below 28°C in a couple weeks.

It's surreal, you wake up at 3 am for a glass of water and it's 28°C. You wake up at dawn, the sun just peeks over the buildings and it's immediately 30°. You go out to have breakfast, it's 35°. By 11 am it's 40° and it stays that way until dusk.

It's 50-80% humidity, as well.

Come quick the dastardly Chinese are up to no good again!

What are they doing now?

SITTING. SITTING on couches...in PUBLIC!

Westoids: You're laughing? Chinese people are SLEEPING during Western collapse, and you're laughing?

I wish more people would relax more often in public. I wish people would roll out chess mats and Nintendo Switches in public while everyone was relaxing. I wish there was a state sponsored app that had LFG and LFR for spontaneous groups in public so people would socialize. I wish public parks were a billion dollar industry and being chill was one of the biggest exports.

I wish being a consumer and contributor to culture was the meta for getting ahead instead of eschewing (that one Marx quote that escapes me) doing things so you can accumulate capital and own things.

am having a rough day, so thanks for helping me feel needed

Political economy, this science of wealth, is therefore simultaneously the science of renunciation, of want, of saving and it actually reaches the point where it spares man the need of either fresh air or physical exercise. This science of marvellous industry is simultaneously the science of asceticism, and its true ideal is the ascetic but extortionate miser and the ascetic but productive slave. Its moral ideal is the worker who takes part of his wages to the savings-bank, and it has even found ready-made a servile art which embodies this pet idea: it has been presented, bathed in sentimentality, on the stage. Thus political economy – despite its worldly and voluptuous appearance – is a true moral science, the most moral of all the sciences. Self-renunciation, the renunciation of life and of all human needs, is its principal thesis. The less you eat, drink and buy books; the less you go to the theatre, the dance hall, the public house; the less you think, love, theorise, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you save – the greater becomes your treasure which neither moths nor rust will devour – your capital. The less you are, the less you express your own life, the more you have, i.e., the greater is your alienated life, the greater is the store of your estranged being. Everything which the political economist takes from you in life and in humanity, he replaces for you in money and in wealth; and all the things which you cannot do, your money can do. It can eat and, drink, go to the dance hall and the theatre; it can travel, it can appropriate art, learning, the treasures of the past, political power – all this it can appropriate for you – it can buy all this: it is true endowment. Yet being all this, it wants to do nothing but create itself, buy itself; for everything else is after all its servant, and when I have the master I have the servant and do not need his servant. All passions and all activity must therefore be submerged in avarice.

Huge! That's exactly the one. Thank you!

Chinese people just lounging around public spaces is a time honoured tradition. So much so that some people do it even in this heat. A shirtless old man playing cards on a plastic stool while eating stinky tofu in a public space is iconic.
