I'm gonna be the first china doesn't exist guy of lemmy.

[–] Wirlocke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 70 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Of course China doesn't exist, it's just Taiwan and West Taiwan.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I mean, you joke but look at what the government of Taiwan actually calls itself

I thought it was upper and lower Mongolia

[–] SpookyBogMonster@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

This is gonna get really confusing given that we already have inner and outer Mongolia.

Let's get weird with it. Left and right Mongolia. Up and down Mongolia, Euclidean and non-Euclidean Mongolia

[–] Corn@lemmy.ml 2 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

Not Inner Mongolia, not Outer Mongolia, but Forward Mongolia! Not Forward Mongolia but Upward Mongolia! And always riding! Riding towards freedom!

From the famous children's novel, The Hun Who Reversed Himself

Technically "ana" and "kata" were coined by Charles Howard Hinton back in 1888, in his book "A New Era of Thought." Fun fact, his great-grandson is Gregory Hinton, the "godfather of AI."

But yeah, I did learn them from Sleator as a kid. Sleator was pretty great.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

That whole generation of "Kids Learn Abstract Mathematics" books was great. Sideways Stories, A Wrinkle in Time, Flatland/Sphereland, hell even the Call of Cthulhu. Great reads on their own and chock full of high level concepts.

[–] monotremata@lemmy.ca 2 points 17 hours ago

Yeah. I might throw in Alice in Wonderland, White Light, and The Compleat Enchanter. (Not kids learning things in those last two, but the books definitely appealed to me when I was still pretty young.)

Mainland Taiwan

Did it go the way of Australia?

China is a made up country to create a bogeyman for the government to fearmonger to hapless citizens in a bid for control of their lives. Have you ever seen a Chinese character? How can you call that words? You can't read that. No one can. It's all a government psyop.
