That deer baby looked like a weird food dick for a troll or something. Raw food.

2025-02-01 18:08:09 +0000 UTCThis is why I never try to miss a live broadcast. I was getting blasted with ads for among others a chromed out demented excused for a Rube Goldberg device called robo-clock, had a feeling this episode was coming. Honestly my first thoughts on all the crap being sold is there's gotta be a whole office somewhere of people getting paid by the idea. Then again though knowing the CCP's priorities mixed with oversight and corruption it could be much bigger and more ridiculous. Like this adaptation of popular knickknacks on the Chinese internet for western consumers could legit be a policy scheme to soak up unemployment in light industry. I'm not denying the fact that this could also be 100% serious certain Japanese, Korean & Taiwanese trends that were culturally weird at first have become popular in America and the greater West. Any Chinese product or business that goes mainstream in the US is an economic, soft power & domestic propaganda win. If I'm pulling on the right thread with this latter idea the fact that Westerners who had settled in China are being harassed and driven out while "foreign influences" are being purged in inane ways might be a big part of why we're laughing at this. At the least the person to person cultural crossover and understanding in Japan, South Korea & Taiwan isn't there anymore in mainland China. People or their property are getting attacked for being seen pro whichever country the beef of the week is with. instead of being a desired commodity in the workplace to say hey this will be the opposite of cool and popular in the West.

2023-10-13 23:38:37 +0000 UTCWould be cool to see you do a video on China's plastic surgery trend. It seems to be extremely popular there.

2023-10-11 00:40:31 +0000 UTCOnce again me: As a dog trainer myself, I have to say: No dog should be allowed to hump anything - not legs, not pillows, not other dogs. In nature no male dog/wolf in a pack (!) is allowed to hump any other dog - only the alpha wolf is allowed to. Our dogs at home don't hump when they have other opportunities to relief their energy (by exercise for mind and body). If the dog is still sexual despite enough training for mind and body and suffers, than you can talk with your vet or dog trainer about their opinion if maybe a chemical catration or a surgery is helpful. But buying dog-sex-toys ... or offer them your leg ... creepy and completely wrong at the same time...

2023-10-10 15:36:00 +0000 UTCTypically german: The 'moonbag' is simply called "Bauchtasche". "Bauch" = Belly and "Tasche" = Bag. Or "Gürteltasche" - "Gürtel" = Belt and "Tasche" = Bag. German is not so complicated. There are thousands of words, you maybe can invent by yourself, simply putting nouns together ;) ... I use this bags all the time. As a dog trainer, you need space for your doggie-goodies, bags and so on. (But I got nice bags - not hairy-belly-bags :P )

2023-10-10 12:00:36 +0000 UTCAlways end up missing the live show, but I wanted to ask: is there a way we can buy the t-shirt merch that Winston received from the artist in the Stat Awesome China documentary?
