Chen, 23, who has worked as an injection-mold operator at the factory since it opened in 1996

Wait, how is this possible?

14 year olds in factories used to be a punchline. Now it’s just par for the course in some parts of the US

The best Onion article I've read so far. I do not care if the article was or not written in 2005, I will asume it was wrote this year because I laughed my ass off when I read that Chen was 23yo and started to work at the factory in 1996.

Chinese factory working might be having and enjoying real sex

I mean they statistically own their own home and have high enough wages for single generation social mobility. Who wouldn't want to fuck someone like that?

All the girls that just do not exist because of selective abortions?

superniceperson@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 1y (1 reply)

The ones from a policy made by previous governments that the current one has explicitly stated was a mistake?

skarn@discuss.tchncs.de · 1 pts · 1y

Yeah, did the Chinese invent a mechanism for rapid growth of 3D printed ladies?

Because since the change in policy was 10 years ago, your 23yo chinese factory worker better like his ladies very young.

But I would also be careful attributing all the selective abortions to the OCP.

Sex ratio in live births was still something like 110% or 115% in 2020, and looked stable.

India also has a sizable sex imbalance in live births, and never had a OCP.

Fun fact: from another post I just learned that sex toys are a really booming domestic market in China at the moment.

I use my taco holders twice a week. It sucks building three perfect crunchy tacos and then they fall over and everything spills out.
