I will never stop being amused at Xi going to rural villages and checking out their cooking and then saying some advice that would belong in a loading screen tip along the lines of "eating grains like millet and corn in addition to rice is good for your health".

Unlike in the West, where ghouls like hillary-apartment only visit as part of the electoral circus, a true leader visits all year round. xi-cooking

That is literally what I want from my government. We need officials going around and giving PSAs to adults. That is useful. I just had my first dentist visit in forever, my shit wouldn't be nearly as fucked if my local representative went door to door every once in a while and reminded people of the importance of oral hygiene. If dental care hadn't just gotten covered, itd be even better. But they should do both

I hate how old I already was when I learned that I'm supposed to brush gently to spare my gums, and leave it to the floss to clean between things, and that I should spit but not rinse if I want the fluoride in the toothpaste to be effective. The US needs barefoot doctors, but if it had them they would be burned as witches

This post taught me not to rinse

This reminds me of the glorious days when our big Soviet neighbour was still around and we had these PSAs come on TV every day.

They were just voiced PSAs or these little movies, example here is about good manners. And here's a whole song about excessive alcohol consumption. They always started with the same intro of a hand snapping it's fingers and pointing at the viewer.

The one about being careful about other peoples medication where a child goes to their grandparents medicine cabinet mistaking all the colourful pills for candy scarred me for life, lol.

These were also in childrens shows, there was a cartoon one about being careful of thin ice in the winter and how you rescue someone who falls into ice where a teddy bear falls in and his friends rescue him with a neck scarf. When neoliberalism came it was banned as it was deemed "too traumatizing".

i raise you an irish drink driving PSA

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

That's not bad but I saw it coming from a mile away. It is kinda odd how it kinda still shows the drinking in the pub kinda positive, like its bright lighting and the beer looks like it's from a beer commercial. Its like they're doing a PSA about not drinking and driving but decided to still depict the drinking part as good and fun.

Oh my god wtf! That chef one is horrifying. Accurate, but jesus christ! First I thought it's going to be about the ring getting stuck to some mixer and bye bye hand, but no.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'll give em this...it worked on me.

[–] StillNoLeftLeft@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yeah I'm gonna be a lot more paranoid about slipping in the kitchen after this. Thank f I had not seen this when I still worked at a bakery, the walk-in oven and doughnut frier were scary enough. And flour on a floor is slippery!

The smoking one was hilarious. As an ex-smoker and current vaper they did make some good points tbh, haha.

I live in Shanghai and the local government sends the most banal PSAs to every single person here by text every couple of days. My favorite was one that said that diving in the rivers to remove underwater electrical wires to sell for scrap is illegal and dangerous.

[–] jack@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

hell yeah that rules

Tfw internet comrade thinks it’s like a loading screen phrase but Xi just talking like every Chinese bo bo over the age of 45
