Re: previous Chinese language toot boost: due to the government's requirement for all shops in Xinjiang to display Chinese names on their signs, shop owners have resorted to using absurd/random Chinese names like”amorous men and women recovery centre” "teary eyes restaurant," "handsome guy hair saloon," "whatever they want pharmacy," “tired pigeon grocery” “infected mom grocery” and so on.

@rakyat

I'll replicate this idea, should I need to put a sign up. Written in , of course, like "fuck this government! "

@gowin Reminds me of some anecdote I’ve heard about archeologists excitedly translating Egyptian hieroglyphics at a site only to find out that it’s all obscenities haha

@gowin (I was trying to find that website with all the translated graffiti from Pompeii but I couldn’t find it anymore)

@rakyat it's funny, reading through it, because it's still quite relatable with prrsent-day folks. --- except, today, most are saying the same thing on the social web.😅

@gowin Haha I remember there was one Pompeii graffiti that’s the equivalent of today’s complaining about social media on social media.
