dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Why do westerners always jump to China's advanced social and technological achievements as AI? Is it so hard to believe that socialism is capable of things capitalism is not?

advanced social and technological achievements

From personal experience, drinking beer through a straw is like drinking a full pint of head. It is like the "what if communism was a beer" meme. China is far too advanced to be making this sort of fundamental mistake.

Truly, if this is real, China is millennia ahead of the West

i read about a sort of camel pack made to look like your gut meant for sneaking your own beer into a stadium 20 years ago

I think it's cause the straw seems to end where the jacket begins and can't be seen through the jacket at all.

Uh, we're talking about a beer jacket? You can be the biggest China supporter ever and think that's such a bizarre idea that it's probably AI.

I agree with your sentiment, but in this case it is. See my comment downthread.
