For me it would be Das Boot.
My Dearest Sinophobes:
Your knee-jerk downvoting of anything that features any hint of Chinese content doesn’t hurt my feelings. It just makes me point an laugh, Nelson Muntz style as you demonstrate time and again just how weak American snowflake culture really is.

For me it would be Das Boot.
I’m pretty sure it is too. For starters the part that’s been layered on top doesn’t have that suspicious 50/50 light/dark thing going on that gives away so many AI generations.
The Ringworld one is brilliant.
Don’t care much about either. My phone does the job for me and I have enough clothing to last me to the end of my life. (You know, about six weeks.) (I jest.)
If I were the kind who’d want children, I’d likely wish to raise them using a scissor lift.
Wow! He has enough self-awareness to figure this out! (Not yet enough to actually stop being a human being made entirely of intestinal effluent mind. Baby steps.)
Yeah, small businesses were already suffering at the hands of big box stores, stagnant wages, and online purchasing.
And now there’s a downturn.
Anything made in the USA (though that is not primarily because of cost of living, only partially). I used to stop off at various street food vendors for a snack on the way home every second day or so, but now I maybe do that once a month. And that is cost of living related entirely.
I think you’re missing the point. An American will see the “impact” of the “US President” “globally” while someone in Nigeria will have completely different concerns for what the Big Thing™ will be, and it will be Nigerian-centric, while someone having this same “itch” in Finland will have something Finnish-centric (say, Russia invading again) as their version and so on and so forth.
And yet, historically, when a Big Thing™ strikes it strikes from an unexpected direction from an unexpected place with unexpected outcomes for the overwhelming majority of humanity.
They also tend to think the Big Event™ will be in their geographical area and will think it’s based on their cultural concerns.
Or, alternatively, this is word salad and you’re falling for the oldest trick of the book: “it uses loads of big words and I don’t understand it so it must be profound”.
I know which direction I’m betting on.
Toward the end they mention also the bit about the writing also being bullshit generators, no?
To paraphrase someone far more clever than me: “If you can’t be bothered to actually write it, I can’t be bothered to read it.”
In the summer, beer. Ideally an import (unless there’s a good microbrewery outlet nearby) because most commercial Chinese beers are terrible. For special events, baijiu. For winter, heated rice liquor.
True. The actual percentage is likely far higher.
That looks like it could be a fun (albeit really heavy) instrument to play.
A record high number of Nazis found social media that would tolerate them.
Uh … what?
Before my eyes glazed over and I scrolled to the bottom it seems like this is baby’s first steps into Buddhism with a side of Daoism as written by someone who understands neither. But as the word salad kept getting tossed and tossed and tossed it just blended together into a word soup.
Is there a coherent description of this concept somewhere, or is word salad all we have?
Ooh! That IS interesting. Half-harp, half-piano.
Oh no! Talentless louts don’t like people who’ve cultivated actual skills that people appreciate!
…
Wait, remind me: Whom does this inconvenience?
