The "Star Wars #1 Fan" thing with a Starship Enterprise is an obvious joke.

The idiot who wrote it acts like there something wrong with cutting stacked cheese. Well, how do you cube your cheese, genius?

Nothing wrong with the bear. The sweater wasn't supposed to come off and they clearly had to tear it.

^^the knife's handle broke cutting the stacked cheese

Right, but the person clearly cut those pieces off a block of cheese and stacked them so that they could be cut again into cubes. This is a common way to cut cheese to serve with snack crackers and such, and yet the idiot Buzzfeed list-maker revealed his own ignorance by saying "And who cuts stacked cheese?!" I guess he/she buys the packages of cheese cubes instead. :rolleyes:

I love all this talk about cutting cheese.

I don't even have to click your link. I saw the doll head horse tail thing soooo long ago, I can't understand why it recently started coming up in my Facebook feed like 5 times...

It's click-bait. A list of repackaged images with a somewhat semblance to the attention grabbing title. Ads galore. At least this click-bait doesn't load twenty ads per re-purposed image.

Reading Engrish makes me wonder how things are said in Chinese. I have no idea what they're even trying to say. I bought a bike pump on amazon where the description was complete nonsense. One of the lines said something about "avoid the dark place." What does that mean?

Can't link at the moment, but google for "Dragonball Z toy instructions". Beyond broken English, it's pulverized English. Wonderful head-scratchers like "May pre house the seamy side volitation!!!"

I think a lot of it is the order in which things are said. Even between French and English you sometimes say things in a different order, so a direct translation won't make sense.

The best are the ones that say "Translation server errror" or something to that extent. They used an online translator and it spit out an error but they did not know better and put that. :biggrin:

I don't know about Chinese, but in Japanese, direct translations are hard due to the subject often being implied, the sentence structure being very different, and words having "hidden" meanings.

I HATE when that happens. :colbert:

Not just meat but other stuffs. Anything to make a quick buck, regardless the consequences to the consumers/users.

Cooking oil recycled from garbage = https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...ood-in-china-again-after-watching-this-video/


Baby milk/formula with "other stuffs" = http://www.bbc.com/news/business-22088977



Rice with "other stuffs" = http://www.marketwatch.com/story/confronting-chinas-cadmium-laced-rice-crisis-2013-06-06

Talk about buyers beware and use it at your own risk. Yike.

Thanks. It helped me realize something: if the meat is never packaged then it's probably pretty easy to mix up. It's also pretty hard to have "some" fox meat in your donkey steak. It's either fox or donkey being sold as "donkey."

Let's not forget the dog food issues from a couple years ago that was the source of many dog deaths in the US.
