Chinese Sup Forums

ITT i go into the Chinese interwebz and bring you fresh OC on the Chinese perspective on anything and everything. The website is called "zhihu"- it functions like Quora, i.e. a question-and-answer format.


Today's post is about: why do Americans like drinking coffee?

为什么美国人那么喜爱喝咖啡?: zhihu.com/question/21231962
The most popular answer:

按照美国的科学概念,咖啡因是一种“毒品”,但是和可卡因,白粉等毒品的区别是,咖啡因是合法的(烟也是毒品,也是合法的). 为什么人民喜欢毒品?因为毒品影响他们的心情。喝咖啡就感觉很多精神。

(according to American scientists, coffee is a addictive, but unlike cocaine and 'white powder' (presumably heroin), it's legal. Americans love their coffee because it gives them a caffeine high and a energy boost.)


美国小孩子喜欢喝可乐,但是大人一般比较喜欢咖啡因为没有可乐那么甜,更sophisticated。

(while kids love drinking Coke, adults prefer coffee because it's not as sweet, and its more sophisticated.)


美国人也喜欢喝茶,但是茶在美国文化骨子了没有咖啡印象那么深。我想很多青少年开始喝咖啡就是为了装逼,为了装更“成熟”。当然,星巴克之类的咖啡馆也给青少年一个好入门方法:frappucino,就像奶昔一样,特别甜特别腻。最终,我们为什么继续喝咖啡?1)喜欢 2)习惯 3)社会压力 4)缺乏精神 5)上瘾 就那么简单.

(Americans like tea too, but coffee is ingrained deeper into the cultural backbone of America. Furthermore, loads of youths drink it to be goddamn hipsters. Of course, Starbucks and other coffeehouses cater to these hipsters and sell 'gateway' drinks: frappucinos - as fucking sweet and greasy as a milkshake.

Why do they continue to drink coffee?
1. they like coffee
2. it's a habit
3. social pressure
4. lack of energy
5. addictive af

It's that simple.)

zhihu.com/question/20350189

Are Germans really that strict and disciplined?


Top answer:

The Germans are not always so strict and disciplined, as I have experienced:
1. German colleagues taught me how to loiter along the road- you need to stay away from the red light to avoid the police.
2. One German chick I know cycled while not holding onto the handles (literal translation: while grabbing her boobs), and she got fined 5 Euros after being scolded.
3. When returning a room after a stay, I just leave the key under the mat. I admit- that’s just social trust.
4. A German teacher, while in Japan, often avoided paying fines, and when he got caught he lied by saying he was American. He didn’t want to destroy the good image of Germans.


The strict things I’ve seen:

1. All tools must be placed in their proper positions according to their demarcated numbers.
2. The trains and public transport are generally on time. If you wanna go somewhere and you need to do a train transfer, while generally timetables are reliable they will inform you of any delays on the website. Yet, even though all German train companies are privatized, gone are the days when you can rely solely on the train timetable.

this thread is too much niche

>A German teacher while in Japan avoided paying fines
>When caught, lying that he was american to not destroy the good image of Germans

topfuckingkek.

Anything about Mexico, OP?

Why are there so many Czech pornstars?


1. Europe is very open about porn.
2. It’s a great way of getting rich quick, and the Czech economy is not that great.
3. Actually it’s just your opinion man. When you see Czech porn you think of Abigail (Johnson), but you forget that there are many other countries with hot pornstars. My personal favourite is the Russian Katya Clover (pic related)

Porn is allowed in China?

>Why are there so many Czech pornstars?
Was wandering myself

interedasting

I've checked, they're all very fixated on the whole Trump Wall thing.

Why Chinese dont have porn industry?Because you are noble ethinicity,for example can buy woman 20$(mercy for the poor,goddes),spit holy drool everywhere,poo and pee everywhere(fertilizing pathetic thier land)emigrate everywhere and depending on welfare(Chinese dont permit people living laziness)

Anything about Australia?

Meh, that's kind of disappointing.

Question: those that have married German women, how is it like?

zhihu.com/question/24524722
Top answer (summary of a long-ass post):

I’ve never married a German, but I’ve dated German women before. When I was in Germany as a university student, I was a weeaboo. However talking to Japanese women was fucking boring, and somehow I got to know a German girl at the local Japanese interest group.

These are the things I think that make German girls special.

First of all, they are very independent- they will do their own shit, won’t really help you with yours either, but they also won’t ask for a lot from you. They think independence is good, because dependency is for kids. Once I called her “süß”, trying to tell her she was cute, but she was pissed af. She told me that “süß” was for little kids and you shouldn’t call me that.

The way they view relationships are also very different. After we were together for a while, we were talking about our future. The funny thing is, she said she saw no future for both of us, but only wanted to enjoy the time we spent together. Chinese girls will never tell you that. She has that common German trait: not wanting to talk about their emotions or having deep conversations. Many Germans are like this. I have always felt she only wanted to talk about superficial happy stuff.

(cont.)

(cont.)

She was also very direct. During Valentine’s day, I worked very part to buy her a nice silver necklace. A few days later she told me directly that she was happy with me making presents for her, and not just buying stuff for her. During her birthday, I drew a card for her depicting the both of us. She asked, “why did you draw your head bigger than mine? And why is my head resting against yours?” I told her honestly, “because I copied a photo of both of us, that’s why it’s like that. It’s a perspective thing.” She replied, “guys always want to think they are more powerful, I hate it.”

Actually they are very similar to Chinese girls. They do the standard girly stuff like cuddling, etc. I even went to meet her parents, and they were great- very affable, not like Chinese parents who will scold and lecture you. They are more like friends.

I think the biggest difference between Chinese girls and German girls is the language and culture. Because of the language, our ability to communicate is severely limited. Girls in love are fragile no matter their nationality.

Plenty, but all they seem to care about are the universities and how to immigrate to Australia. LOL

It is man, I get terrible headache and feel like I have the flu if I don't drink some coffee in the morning

Question: when did you experience the greatness of America?

zhihu.com/question/27738917/answer/106800850
Answer:

My personal experience:

I went to the States last year to Hearst Castle. The weather was really hot, and I haven’t had a drink for quite a while and was getting dehydrated. I walked around trying to find a drink stand but couldn’t find any.

I was just listlessly walking around when a patrolling guard walked over and asked if “everything’s okay”. I told him honestly with my shitty English that I was really parched, and whether he knew a place selling some bottled water. He said he had an idea, and said he would help me find one. He then drove off.

Just then my parents found a water fountain, and I drank two mouthfuls. I had my fill and forgot everything about the patrolling guard. My family took the bus down the mountain and went off.

Suddenly at the base of the mountain, a small police van honked at us and stopped next to us… It was the guard, and he was carrying a bottle of water for me… (pic related)

He told me that he had found a guy selling water, but by the time he returned we had left, so he bought 2 bottles and went off to find us- all the way down Hearst Castle. I was so grateful!!

In my whole tour in California, I’ve always felt welcome and that Californians had a certain welcoming air about them.


(there were other posts about multiculturalism, disabled rights, and general liberalism in contrast to China.)

This, Americans are the nicest people in the world

Fuck off you autistic retard

Question: why do we say Russians have a unrivalled fighting spirit?


zhihu.com/topic/19566816/top-answers


Top answer:

This happened to me recently-

We were all within the departure hall at Pudong airport waiting for a Russian flight. A typhoon had been raging for the past two days; it was so bad that even luggage could not be unloaded. In the face of such bad weather everyone was anticipating a cancellation. As people started sighing, a Russian plane flew against the strong winds and landed at Pudong airport.

The next thing I knew, the airport announcer said: “the Gate for the plane has closed”, leaving a passenger standing right outside the hall in a confused daze.

What’s even crazier was that the flight crew did not cancel the flight, instead projecting a 1-hour departure window! Against 10-degree typhoon winds, the fucking Russian pilot took off back to Moscow! ONLY the Russian plane did not cancel the flight amongst all other flights in Pudong airport.

That is why we call the Russians a race that possesses an unrivalled fighting spirit.

Find one difference

>both speak english
>both heretics
>both praise their head of state as if it's god
>both think they are the good guys, while we all know Russian are
>both ignorant people
>the sum of both cultures would be 0. 0+0 = 0

Fuck off you autistic retard

cool thread

Kek

See if there are any about open defecation

?

U wut m8

Really cool thread OP. Would love to hear one regarding the Chinese opinion towards Brits or our culture or something.

I probably didn't put in the right search terms, but I found this:


Question: do Mosquitoes shit? How does the shit look like?


zhihu.com/question/21238615


Answer:

I did an experiment after you asked by catching a mosquito and keeping it in a controlled environment and feeding it regularly. After 3 days of observation, I noticed a yellowish discharge. There was no discernible odor.

truth hurts

fascinating

this is why they're outpacing us scientifically

lmfao this is not even surprising.

don't honestly get the russian mentality, its like they don't even value their lives enough to care about safety blyat.

i was reading a blog that chinese stereotyped americans as nice and good-natured, whereas japanese people stereotyped them as rude.

really makes you think about mannerism/public manners and how they vary.

>There was no discernible odor

Question: Recently, a British food critic said that Chinese hotpot tastes like shoe leather. How would you respond?


zhihu.com/question/41084200


Answers:

“I don’t know how shoe leather tastes like, really envy all the experience he has had with shoe leather”

“Even British food – shepherd’s pie, beef wellington, scotched eggs – aren’t even that great. I find those hard to eat some times. What a load of tosh.”

“That’s because he hasn’t had experiences eating hotpot dishes, he would think its better if he had more exposure”


Loads of butthurt posters posting pictures of so-called “British” food.

>she said she saw no future for both of us, but only wanted to enjoy the time we spent together.

Right in the feels

hahaha literally like int. even the chinks buy into the memes.

lel are they worried that the wall would be grander than their great wall?

I was seeing zhihu.com/question/36129534 which is basically about India overtaking China as the World's largest economy; Everyone is replying with a 10,000 word essay. Why isn't there any word limit in posts?

How the fuck can you even read this?

Don't think so, but there was a thread with an almost autistic obssession with the dimensions of the hypothetical great wall, with calculations of how much material and labour were needed, and how much money it would cost.

*trump wall

DO POLAND PLS

anything else about trump? or are they just really into the logistics of the wall

They probably have moderators.

Unlike Sup Forums.

WTF i love China now

Anything concerning North Korea?

I get the impression they want to invade it and castrate Fatty 3.

(translated by google)

Take a look for yourself: zhihu.com/question/47621616

Also, a bright poster had an idea for a Trump River rather than a Wall.

It's not memes, your cuisine is shit.

Chinese are rude so it makes sense

>zhihu.com/question/36129534


The obsession to detail is insane, some of them are posts by academics if i'm not wrong.

Like said, they have loads of mods. Also it works like reddit with the upvote and downvotes. They want those upvotes i guess.

I drink only mineral water and peppermint and green tea.
I don't like coffee or cola.

yeah its goes into very indepth knowledge not the average person will understand IE indian social systems and so-on.

i've only ever seen it on some hardcore reddit subreddits, IE the ones frequented by academics. this kinda looks like a chinese quora tb h.

What the fuck? Do the Chinese really play Dofus?

>german trains on time

Mate wtf did you smoke

That was beautiful, user

If the government went on tv and asked the chinese people if they want porn legalized, you'd think they'd go for it? When you have a totalitarian government that bans everything, I have doubt of these noble temperament claims.

Which is why Muslims can go fuck themselves.

zhihu.com/question/20158971

Besides the rehashed political threads about Kimmy, quite a bit of interest on how to travel to North Korea for a holiday. Loads of nice pictures in that thread.

Some of them are so hurriedly shot that it gives you the sense that the photographer was in fear of being found out.

Yes, found a few:

Wew it's nice to see Sup Forums not shitting on chinabros for once

We like Chinks. Its just the weird mentally ill Hapa posters that we hate.

>You will one day see Chinese flags as a common flag on Sup Forums

western countries just have a sense of superiority imo and we are the majority here. its shitty because its a backwards mentality.

i've yet to see a brazilian thread that didn't have someone call you a favela monkey, or generic russians are evil or russians are x thread.

Question: how is the standard of living in Poland compared to China?

zhihu.com/question/30129438


Top Answer:


Generally higher than in China. I’m based in Poland’s 4th biggest city, next to the German border.

Clothes: clothes are cheap! I go on shopping sprees especially before Christmas, some things are so cheap that they seem like knock-offs. Ecco’s cheapest shoes, after discount, is only 100+ RMB.

Food: one problem is that the variety of vegetables is very small, during winter there are only potatoes, cabbage, and carrot.
Poland’s thread is pretty boring desu.

Also I think it's rather sad that what with billions of Indians & Chinese with their own net-universes due to their language, we are missing out on each others autism.

Think about it. All those memes, lost in time.

>during winter there are only potatoes, cabbage, and carrot.

>Think about it. All those memes, lost in time.
Getting deep there

reddit.com/r/eu4/comments/2t6b0n/europa_universalis_jargonchinese_version/

some Sup Forums appropriate memes

As everyone learns a universal language, we'll all be a single hivemind of autism

Interestingly, there is a small debate going on about whether there should be freedom to view porn in China.

The premise is that some American professor said that blocking porn sites, which account for the a lot of traffic on the internet, hindered the development of the internet community.

Anything about France?

(((American))) professor** most probably

There is a lot of hard-to-translate material on the Chinese net on the South China Sea.

This thread is titled: "why do other countries think that China doesn't own the South China Sea?"

As you can imagine, massive shitfest:

>(I couldn't continue translating because he was simpering and too much of a cuck. disgusting.)

aw

porn is degenerate and is destroying young boys minds. if i was dictator of the US, i would ban it also. with that said, the biggest viewers of JAV are the Chinese.

Question: what is the level of aestheticism of the general population in France?

zhihu.com/question/28507729
Top Answer:

This is a very broad question. In terms of fashion, the French are really fancy, especially compared to German people (whether male or female, old or young, for all four seasons). But of course, this depends on the social class of the individual- there is great variation. Public and Engineering school dress sense is vastly different, and especially between the zones: Area 16, District 8, District 7, the Latin Quarter, to the 1819 Northeast region, up till Saint-Denis.


French women are very conservative in their colour selection, colors that are common in East Asia – yellow, green, pink, etc – have almost no representation here. Because most young chicks have good bodies, and wear skinny leggings accompanied by boots, and on top wearing black coats, with a good textured sweater, they look very pleasing to the eye and very seductive.

Boys wear bolder colors, all sorts of different coloured skinny jeans, and often have countless scarfs of all colours. Guys often are reluctant to remove scarfs around their neck, holding out reluctantly until the summer months before relinquishing it.

Older people dress even more impressively. There is some truth to the saying that a woman’s elegance can survive even into old age. Old women dress very meticulously and delicately, giving the aura of elegance and timelessness.

That sounds like a very chinese thing to be concerned with I guess
To be fair though logistically the wall doesn't make sense, like what side of the rio grande river would it go on for example?
