Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Looks like someone found the secret to Coors light
Spread the rumour it's schoolgirl urine, change the name to Pi-Tsingtao and export to Japan. Problem solved.
They were just copying the American recipe.
Might improve it honestly...
I see China watches Bear Grylls.
Reminds me of this video where a shirtless Chinese fella is wading in a giant pool of kimchi. The video led to a Korean boycott of Chinese kimchi, which is commonly served in greasy spoons across Korea.

You really are a good bot. 😚
I'm left to wonder is that was before or after any cleaning process. If it's before.... it's not a great look but not all that bad. This stuff comes from farms where it's got to be cleaned before use anyway because of dirt, pesticides, etc.
If it's after "cleaning" then I think this reaction is sufficient. 🤢🤮

New trolley problem just dropped: would you drink free beer disposed of by the brewery, knowing there is a non-zero chance it contains a tiny amount of piss?
I wouldn't because I do not need to LMAO... But diluted enough... it's like it isn't there.
As long as he didn't have a bladder infection. Otherwise it might ferment a little differently.
The city of Portland disagrees! Back in 2014, they dumped 38 million gallons of water from a reservoir because one stupid drunk peed in it. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-27069611
On Wednesday, Mr Shaff said while animal waste often found its way into the reservoir without any public health risk, there was "at least a perceived difference from my perspective" on human waste.
"I could be wrong on that, but the reality is our customers don't anticipate drinking water that's been contaminated by some yahoo who decided to pee into a reservoir," he said.
That is the secret ingredient.
I'm currently in Thailand and saw a couple of arrogant Chinese get ruthlessly beaten by street justice. They had been talking shit about everyone all night and then started being physical. It took seconds for there to be dozens of Thai people beating them worse than I have ever seen someone beaten. It was really bad. I'd be surprised if they lived. By the time the police came both Chinese were completely unconscious on the ground with blood everywhere. Nobody was taken into custody other than the Chinese guys.
When talking with people after it happened they mostly agreed that Chinese people have been the problem causers more than other tourists. There seems to have been a major shift in Chinese culture over the past few years and most of them seem to have a massive superiority complex.
I used to think it was the CCP that made China a bad place but it seems it's the people as well.
Thailand is dealing with shit-tons of expat russians hiding out for the war to end. Now the fuckwits are trying to set up russian businesses in thailand like white-russian-only nail salons and white-russian-only taxis. I hope the Thais take everything they have.
It's because the incompetent PM made the visa free for mainland Chinese. It's going to get a lot worse in Thailand.
The culture is the problem and the CCP insistent on keeping outdated traditions and social values keeps them in the past. China cultural values went to shit ever since the cultural revolution and the government has done nothing to better it, only doubling down and adding more problematic beliefs. There were needs to be selfish and to deceive for survival, but with the kind of government the CCP is instead of that slowly going away after the worst is over you have that continue to be ingrain into future generations to the point it becomes an identity. Then add the contemporary dose of propaganda and the sudden increase in progress and you have the superiority complex.
I'd like to point out a couple things:
- You took an article about one Chinese dude being an asshole and took a massive detour to tell your story in which:
- You saw two Chinese people acting like assholes and proceeded to judge Chinese people in general for it
I'm not one to rush to play this "card", but that's literal racism.
I know you also factored in the reactions of the other people. (Not even going to go into what kind of person calmly watches two humans get brutally beaten maybe-to-death.) But imagine if this happened in the US. With our difficult history, let's say it was 2 black people. There's a certain kind of person who would hang around afterwards, spouting information about that race and their perception of them. Just some food for thought...
Shit, just had one last Saturday in a Chinese buffet
Fuck's sake. I ~~drink~~ drank that beer. My local supermarket stocks it.
That leaves me with the choice of APAs, chilled stout or Australian beer.
So this is why it's always so good!
That’s why it always gives me a headache
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Chinese authorities are investigating after a viral video appeared to show a worker from Tsingtao urinating into a tank, believed to contain ingredients for its popular beer.
In the clip which appeared online on Thursday, a worker, dressed in uniform with a helmet on, can be seen climbing over a high wall and into the container before urinating inside it.
The location tag of the clip reads "Tsingtao beer No.3 factory", local news outlet The Paper reported on Friday.
In a statement published on Friday, the bureau of market supervision and administration of Pingdu City, where the factory is located, said they immediately set up a team and conducted an on-site investigation after spotting the video, and sealed the whole batch of ingredients that appeared in the clip.
"A piss that will ruin a lot of money, this worker has done some real damage here," a top-liked comment on X-like platform Weibo reads.
Shares in Tsingtao Brewery fell sharply when the Shanghai Stock Exchange opened on Monday morning but were trading broadly flat by the afternoon.

It tastes pretty good though tbh
This or Gates's poop water?
It's China, what did you expect? Dignity?
And if one China's biggest exporter is a brand that nobody heard of then you know it's shit. Heck, I live in Vietnam, and we import a lot of shit from China but this is the first I knew of its existence. I wouldn't be surprised if their beer is made with literal dog shit.
In case you didn't notice from the tone, we Vietnamese fucking hate China.
Yeah try to avoid food from China. There is a lot of fake food and drinks that isn't good for consumption.
Everyone scams in China

The Tsingtao brand is sold in 62 countries and regions around the world,[13] and accounts for more than 50% of China's beer exports. According to the company's financial figures from 2010, Tsingtao saw a 6.6% year-on-year revenue increase from sales to Hong Kong and other overseas markets.
Hell, we have Tsingtao in some stores near me in the US, and I live in the South lol
I live in the UK and I don't drink beer because I generally, ironically, think beer overall tastes like piss, and yet I still know Tsingtao. It has fairly substantial market recognition in a lot of countries.
