In a recent video on Twitter, he compared the China of today to 2019 and was completely shocked at the speed to progress and change. Says it’s like stepping into the future.
1 - Automation: From trains to taxis to purchases - everything is done seamlessly with super Apple Pay.
2 - EV: 30%-40% of the cars are fully electric. You can get Teslas but you have Chinese brands that offer sedans for $10k.
3 - The air is much cleaner. Partly due to EVs.
4 - People are more respectful of societal norms. There is better service everywhere you go.
5 - Less foreigners, even in touristy areas. Most white people are actually Russian.
6 - In factories, robots do the work in contrast to the perception people have in the US of China just throwing cheap labor at every problem. Factories set up their own e-commerce platforms and sell directly on China’s TikTok.
7 - It feels like over the past 5 years, everything by in China just got better, while everything in the US just got worse.
CW: gross poo story
One time I had the shits, then I smoked a joint and found out that rather remarkably, weed is great for diarrhea.
Woke up the next morning with a sleepy weed brain, forgot I ever had diarrhea, lifted my leg for a mighty fart, and no joke, I sprayed a perfect line of watery shit down my bed and onto the wall at the end of it (in my tiny box bedroom). A perfect straight line.
Shit spray is the sort of thing I'd only imagined was really a thing in spoof movies and frat comedies. It was funny for about 5 seconds before I realised the weight of my actions.
