Oh cool, love to start getting daily reposts, it's just like we're on reddit

[-] Xanis@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

First time seeing this.

Don't make the same mistake Reddit did. Not all of us are degens on here 24/7.

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

As a degen who is on here 24/7, even we can't see everything. And also I have memory like a sieve.

Lemmy is just Reddit with a tenth the userbase and political takes that are somehow even worse (now with 500% more bothsidesism!)

Fun fact, Boba Tea is from Taiwan and means "big breasts".

[-] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 16 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

No it doesn't. It means "pearl milk tea" or "bubble tea".

[-] Zier@fedia.io 4 points 6 months ago

One of the origin story of the term links to a once-popular Hong Kong actress Amy Yip[1], who was known for her cup size and sexy appearances in movies. The "nickname" 波霸, roughly translated to "Boobs overlord" in English, or transliterated to "Boba" (sounds similar in both Cantonese and Mandarin), was given to her by the media.

It was said that one bubble tea maker in Taiwan made large tapioca bubbles to put in milk tea, when tiny bubbles were used in milk tea at the time, and he named it "Boba tea", associating the relatively huge size of his bubbles with the actress well-known body feature. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Yip
