In a story out of Springfield Elementary School in Des Moines, IA, 9-year-old Max Hannagan, who was suspended for verbally harassing his fellow third graders, has now claimed he was just “pushing boundaries” with his comedy. “Did I caw Jimmy a loser? Yes,” Max told reporters while rocking ba

        Neither.

          That was an unexpected answer. Why the Chinese name then?

            Well, my actual username is French, and I’m not from France. So what would it matter what my display name is?

              A mystery, wrapped in an enigma performing a paradox dance!

                But to answer your question, 摆 烂 (bai lan) could be translated to “let it rot,” or to let things that are already beyond repair deteriorate, or “stop trying, it’s pointless”

                It’s more or less a buzzword. Internet slang. It’s referring to economics, society, etc. Just a commentary on the current state of the world.

                I thought it was a fun phrase. I’ll change it when something else rolls by, but it’s actually kinda fun to see the conservatives go nuts. Not cashews though, those are the best kind of nuts.

                  While we’re explaining our usernames…

                  Please stop telling me there’s no such animal as a flying squid. (Not you personally, Lemmy/Reddit in general.)

                  It’s especially annoying when it’s done in a smarmy know-it-all way.

                    While we are explaining actual usernames (tsonfeir). It’s the name I give to people online. Theroux Sonfeir. Which isn’t my real name of course, but if you say it fast enough it sounds like the roof is on fire

                  I gotta appreciate the commitment to explained usernames though

                  That’s all you need to know, that’s convenient.

                  Of course, cashew nuts aren’t actually nuts, they’re the drupes from an accessory fruit 🤓
