Does it, though? These jokes may superficially resemble each other solely because they involve non-white people, but one joke comes down to “all Chinese people be like,” while the other is about Kash Patel in particular. One is stereotyping an entire ethno-linguistic group, and the other is about the actions of one specific man. At a fundamental level, that’s very different, I think.

I guess I don’t understand how the joke is the same. Is “Ching Ching Chong ping pong” the Mandarin translation of “crypto scammer,” or “nominative determinism,” or “the universe is too on-the-nose”?

1 dayOnce years ago, I used a few mL of gasoline as a solvent to clean grease from a part. To dispose of it, I put it in a can and tossed a lit match in.
The liquid gasoline extinguished the flame. Even gasoline is hard to ignite.
Sad. Back in the day, everybody could tell by the pixels that it was 'shopped.
No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What is the name of this knot? And how does one tie it?bySwingingTheLamp@piefed.zipEnglish
3 daysPerhaps a variant on the trucker’s hitch? (Assuming that this was used to tie the canoe to the roof of a car.)
As for tying it, it looks like you tuck a bight in the running end behind the standing end, and pull it through the loop formed by doing so.Edit: No, on second look, it’s not that.

3 daysThe doctor who circumcised me did a total hack job at it: cut way too much off, stitched it back together asymmetrically, and, as I’ve just learned in the last few years, probably severed the dorsal nerve, too. So that’s been a lifetime of basically no sensation in my glans, never enjoying sex that much, which has contributed to a few failed relationships.



You can perhaps tell who the elderly are, if they ask if you’re reluctantly crouched at the starting line.
