    Time to teach y'all a Classical Chinese phrase that, allegedly, the Chinese MFA only uses in the case of an ultimatum, so potentially something to watch for (?) —

    勿谓言之不预也 (wù wèi yán zhī bú yù yě), "Dare not say you hadn't been forewarned."

            Pictured a group of kids around a fire place in a post collapse society questioning an elder.

            "What did you do to stop the collapse?"
            "I did shitpost the finest emojis you could imagine, sure the climate wars happened and everything collapsed, but for a brief moment in time we had large adult son's and very large north Korean soldiers."
