  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

I don't know all the words in this, but I doubt it; it's a classic Chinese tongue twister.

The first line translates to "four is four, ten is ten, fourteen is fourteen, forty is forty. On the second & third line it's something along the lines of "whoever says 40/14 says <X>, <sth> 40/14", as far as I can tell.

Spoiler

No, I don't want to use a translator, where's the fun in that?

Oohh thanks

I've found the poem, I thought it was this one because of the amount of "shi"s. But yours is way bigger

Yeah, so that last bit is supposed to be
"If someone says 14 like 40 hit them 14 times, if they say 40 like 14, hit them 40 times."

Ooh nice, thanks :)

I recognized 打 as something on the lines of hitting or striking, but wasn't sure if it actually had that meaning here, or something (seemingly) unrelated as in 打的.
