My translator shows "enterprise", not "business".

While the words technically have the same meaning in this case, enterprise goose has a bit more pizazz!

That makes me imagine penguins writing Java code.

What did China call them before the invention of the 3 piece suit?

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 39 points 4 months ago

They didn't. 3 piece suits are older than penguins, because penguins are a type of bird, and birds were invented by the US government as surveillance drones.

So those "bones" in roasted duck i get from my local Chinese place were microchips all along? Bastards!

Mainly their antennae, occasionally they're solid state storage drives

Decided to research the etymology further and found this article: No, the Chinese word for "penguin" does not really mean "business goose", but what do you think?

鵝 -> 我鳥 (me bird)

Goose is like Duck but the pro version
