We’re going broad with this one given the population and the size.
China: Stop trying to make the mandate of heaven happen. It’s not going to happen.
Japan: If you’re worried about population decline, maybe you should be less shitty to foreigners who want to live there.
Korea: Your music industry is uncomfortably close to slavery. And despite America’s best efforts, you still have the closest thing to a government owned by corporations.
Southeast Asia in general: I am sorry you are stuck being the Middle East of the Far East.
Addition to the above, since someone pointed out that my Korea comment appears to assume a South Korean default:
Best Korea: Your
musicindustry is uncomfortably close to slavery. And despite America’s best efforts, you still havethe closest thing toa governmentowned by corporations.
Flash-news.

You work too much. Your work quality suffers because of it. Studies have shown the optimum amount of time to do serious mental work in a day is less than half of how much you all work since childhood cram schools.

You folks are just as racist, sexist, and bigoted as Oklahoma.
Same shit I’d tell Americans: Germany is more than beer, lederhosen und nazi history
My hot take: saving face and thinking that winning by cheating is the same as winning are toxic culture traits
Clarify please

Keeping up appearances at all costs accumulates moral debt and leads to monumental failures down the line. Everyone knows the senile boss is about to make another mistake, but the nail that sticks out gets hammered down, so everyone shuts up until bankruptcy and suicides.
It’s OK to run a fan at night
Nice try Big Fan.
Women are smart, capable, and equal.
Central and West Asians really aren’t ready to hear that.
I live in west Asia and I agree :3
BREAD DOESN’T NEED TO BE SWEET. Please. Especially not cheese toast.
Asian here, I came in thinking there was nothing I could read that would hurt. Then, first comment.
I want sweet bread, what is it called 🥺
Cake
woah
It’s just called bread.
Live in Japan and seconded. It can be sweet, but making it all sweet is just missing out on so much.
Some of ya’ll are the most racist people and China is, like, the Texas of Asia. I think of people living in China the same way I think of people living in North Korea: How horrific, I wish them luck.
Also, WTF South Korea. All I hear is how sexist and fucked up you are. I don’t hear anything good about living there, and the fact that some of those cheabols haven’t been assassinated yet is beyond me.
Improving your driving license quality would save so much money by reducing worker deaths.
Your curry sucks.
No, not that other Asian country’s curry. That one is really good.
YOUR curry sucks.
Why is it like that and way different from that other Asian country that tastes way better?

I went for the pictures of Japanese curry but spent most of the video thinking the narrator had an unexpected accent …… eventually, shit, that might be an American accent to her English
Y’all migrated out of Africa like the rest of us.
Turns out it was more in central Europe according to the latest discovery, but we are all human regardless of where we started.Edit: Never mind, it was only 1.4 million years ago: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/ancient-stone-tools-found-in-ukraine-may-have-been-used-by-early-humans-over-1-million-years-ago
The second part still stands though.
Everything I’m finding on Google is saying Morocco, with scientists suggesting we probably evolved all over Africa.
Africa/Middle east is what I’d heard previously but I think the article I last read was a misunderstanding of this:
What was more in central Europe?
The earliest record of humans, it was pretty recently discovered.
I’m gonna need a link for that cause that makes no sense at all in the context of all other finds.
AFAIK, the “out-of-africa” hypothesis isn’t so much based on skeleton findings.
It’s more based on some thoughts. One of them is that africa has a “high genetic variability” which they see as proof that humanity originated there, even though i doubt the soundness of that argument.
The second reason is some kind of racism: “if africans are really inferior beings, that must be because life originated there and emigrated and africans simply stayed behind in both space and development.” (not my thoughts)
Nice down vote, you can go find it yourself now (or remain ignorant, I don’t really care if you learn anything new or not).
That’s unfortunate, since many of would find that fascinating reading. I remember reading something similar but more like: there was a wave of migration to central Europe much earlier than expected
Everything I just looked at still puts Affrica as origin
Although I don’t remember reading …. Each wave of migration out of Africa was different hominids. They all coexisted for a long time but eventually the hominids from the last wave succeeded and the others died out
Looks like it might have just been a poorly written headline but the earliest stuff I’ve heard in the past was either Africa or Middle East:
Do you mind providing a source ? I’ve been reading fascinating fiction on the subject of early humans (by Jean M Auel) and I’d love to know more
I might have misread it but I’d previously heard Africa and somewhere in the middle east (Ur, current day Iraq was a big city)
What is this record of humans that you speak of?
In a world where we think of climate change and national debt as Western worries, Asia’s dirtiness is enough of an absolute eco-hazard to warrant its own kind of debt if the rest of us thought the same way.
The same rivers Rama and Krishna bathed in could today kill you, and China has enough air pollution that the smog from Los Angeles blows over from there, more or less the same way sand from the Sahara fertilizes the Amazon.
China has enough air pollution that the smog from Los Angeles blows over from there
I think you meant to say:
“China has enough air pollution that the smog from there blows over to Los Angeles”Yes, sorry. Said that in reverse.
Too much smog in the air to think.
McDonald’s and fast food restaurants are looked down on in many western countries. Flexing you’re eating at McDonalds to westerners is like saying you don’t know what quality looks like.
the mcdonalds here in hong kong are fuckin sick compared to the ones i’ve been to in the US and Canada.
some of the juiciest fried chicken i’ve ever had, and the seasonal shaker fries are hella rad.
McDonald’s only uses pink slime in the US. Other countries health standards require real food to be served. So that flex is actually understandable. Their McDonald’s is actually good and relatively healthy all things considered. I can’t imagine eating McDonald’s over there your entire life only to realize one vacation that your country has the superior fast food.
Mechanically separated meat is sold and served in Europe and Asia.
I can assure you is that all of the fast foods ive been to in europe, all tasted like shit. except for kfc and taco bell. Subway is the most egregious offender, 9 euro for a 15 cm sandwich is straight up theft. It wasnt even good, just the most mid turky sandwich ever
