Sometimes, I remember how fucking iconic it was of Nie Huaisang to destroy everything Jin Guangyao had suffered to build in his life, and then watch as it all came crumbling down around him, with absolutely no remorse at all.

And the fact that he got Lan Xichen to kill Jin Guangyao like that, on the spot, unplanned, improvising???

Truly an inspiration. No one does revenge like Nie Huaisang. Wish to never get on his bad side.

ok ok the "shang qinghua likes to call binghe his son meanwhile luo binghe has no idea who the fuck shang qinghua is" is funny and all but have we considered

desperately clingy post svsss-canon binghe who wants nothing to do with tianlang-jun discovers that shang qinghua thinks of him as a beloved son and decides that interrupts-time-with-shizun-hamster-man good actually he accepts the offer, new dad! regardless of what anyone else has to say about it

meanwhile tianlang-jun just wants to know what the fuck mobei-jun's hamster man has that he doesn't

Oh this! 

I learned to speak Chinese with a Dongbei accent because I used to live not far from the OP (which definitely gets me weird looks as a white lady originally from Kansas.) Native Mandarin speakers are often SO confused by my accent. But yes...Taiwanese speakers do sound really melodic and beautiful. And I sound like I’m angry shouting all the time.

In Germany and Austria, the Swiss are well-known for speaking Scweizerdeutsch. For reasons unknown, they use diminutive forms of a ton of nouns. The result is that Swiss people speaking German sound like if you found a city in Appalachia where it was 100% normal to baby-talk to everyone, all the time.

On the flip side, no one can understand a goddamn thing coming out of a Viennese person's mouth.

The dialect variance within the German language is insane at times

This is not exactly a new thing tho - here have a video from 1973 about it:

This is my first coding assignment for my software engineering class that started today. It’s going to be a really good semester.

[cloversnotes]

UPDATE: I got my grade back and

“100″

[cloversnotes]

Since this post has gotten some attention, I feel like it’s worth mentioning that this was just the first half of the assignment.

The second half, which we weren’t made aware of until the day we were meant to turn this one in, was to trade USB drives with the person sitting next to us and MODIFY their “unreadable” code without getting any help from them.

This was to teach us two things:

1) In this field, you’ll spend more time working with code written by other people than you will writing original code from a blank slate. The people who wrote the original code will probably not be around to help you. Learning to read code is IMPORTANT, even if it seems unreadable.

2) There is a strong brotherhood/sisterhood among programmers and software engineers. Respect that bond when you’re writing code and documentation. In my professor’s words: “When you write code, pretend that the person who will have to maintain it after you’re gone is a homicidal maniac who knows where you live.”

This class and professor are incredible.

Probably a stupid question but how many different ways are there to say "fuck" in Chinese?

There’s really just one main way to say “fuck” as both the verb and the exclamation : cào. There a multiple characters, though, because it’s more polite to use homophones.

肏 —the original cào, the verb. It composed of the components 入 (“to enter”) and 肉 (“flesh”/“meat”). “入肉” also means “to fuck”. I guess you could say this is the vulgar form of the word.

操/槽/草/曹 — popular stand-in homophones, basically used for the exclamation and more polite to use.

我操/我曹/卧槽/我艹/喔草/etc - wǒ cào — “fuck!”/“fuck me!”/“what the fuck!”; this is another way to say “fuck” (exclamation only, not the verb) in different scenarios. Although it’s written with homophones, I wouldn’t say that it’s equivalent to “frick” or “fudge” or a similar polite form because there’s an even tamer version of it, “我去”/wǒ qù, which is basically like “shoot!” and “dang!”.

靠/我靠/靠北 - kào/wǒ kào/kào běi — same as above basically. This is more popular in Taiwan. 我靠 is also a bit more tame, like “shoot!”, I think.

Other ways to say fuck mostly have to do with the verb which I feel like is not what you’re asking so I won’t go into it.

I’ll just give a special mention to:

干 — gàn — “to do”. This is just funny to me personally because depending on the context it also means “to kill”. It amuses me whenever I’m watching a show or movie where someone goes “I’m gonna kill you” and they use 干/干死 (or 弄 / 整, other ways to say “to do” which also mean “to fuck” and “to kill” depending on context).

I guess there are also other curse words that have approximately the same meaning as “fuck!“— 他妈的 (“motherfucker!”), for example—but you didn’t ask about those :P

There is a local swear word called “去荷兰“ (“to go to Holland”) which is the short form of the homophone “去给人干” (to be fucked), but the more popular meaning is probably “去坐荷兰车” (to ride the hearse), i.e. go die. But nowadays it has a milder meaning that is “going nowhere”.
