@almsaodii “三皇” meant three progenitors, who discovered basic trades such as agriculture and herbalism. “五帝” meant five fair monarchs who upheld virtuous governance. War wasn't central to Chinese mythology, usually it is considered result of a loss of antediluvian innocence.
@BobGolen Heh. Chinese has the same joke. But since someone who can't read numbers scarcely knows his alphabet, jack is called "hook", queen is called "hoop", and king is called "split" or "K". Somehow "K" is very recognizable among illiterates.
@TheGrimmHost@Pippu_Paladin Chinese athletes are overwhelmingly funded by state which trains them from 4yo to retirement. If you don't get a championship in olympiad you are stuck with one-time $10k-$40k buyout or ~$400-600 monthly pay job. Possible she's a world champion who retired to family business.
