China: Why does everyone question our discoveries?

Also China:

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 25 points 4 months ago

But aren’t pandas from China? I was expecting this to be some other country that, you know, doesnt have pandas.

[-] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 15 points 4 months ago

Pandas are owned by the government. Not everyone in China can get a panda.

In the late 2010s and early 2020s, with China–United States relations straining, China began declining to renew panda leases for U.S. zoos.[27][28] The San Diego Zoo pandas returned to China in 2019, followed by pandas at the Memphis Zoo and National Zoo in Washington, D.C. in 2023.[29]The Memphis pandas, Ya Ya and Le Le, became a rallying point for Chinese calls to repatriate the bears after accusations of poor living conditions circulated on Chinese social media sites and the sudden death of Le Le in February 2023.

Did they order their panda from Wish?

Cute doggo, but maybe don’t paint them?

[-] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

They recalled them from the world famous San Diego zoo.....and the kids broke them the next day.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Ooh that would be a nice scam. Accuse the US of returning painted dogs.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

We should just get some hair samples the next time a Panda is on loan and clone us some. Every company that's ever had their products cloned after outsourcing to China would get a kick out of that.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I’m sure they’d throw a big fit over it. It’s ok if they do it, but not us.

You know this led to huge fights and maybe a mental break or two.

"I'm TELLING you, those were fucking dogs!"

"Yeah, okay, bro, I'm sure you know better than the literal ZOO."

“I came here to see the painted dogs. What the hell are these pandas?”

[-] Kintarian@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Boy, nature just threw all the paints it.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

those are gorgeous.

also probably severely misunderstood.

Is Lets Build a Zoo prophecy or just a historically accurate simulation?

[-] Kintarian@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

A glitch in The matrix?

[-] TheGingerNut 5 points 4 months ago

Well at least they don't need to pay rent to china

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago
[-] TheGingerNut 1 points 3 months ago

The Chinese government owns all pandas. You cannot buy a panda, only rent it, and some of that rent goes to the CCP

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

How progressive.
