People were scared to use Chengdu metro line 13 because it's driverless. Metro's solution is to put a guy who sit in front to pretend he is the driver. There's no controls and he is not allowed to play w mobile phone. His job is just be there to make people comfortable 😭

Chinese bro went to Egypt to marry a girl he met on online chat app and brought her to live in China. Chinese netizens amazed how 2 people can be married while relying on translation machine. There's no excuse for incels. Chinese netizens also said no way bro would find a wife in China who's willing to ride backseat on his bicycle and live with him in his company provided studio apartment, and not even getting her a 2nd translation machine. Bro actually has $100,000 usd in savings but he is just cheap.
