Incredible things are happening in China. It appears they have reinvented Alabama from first principles.
@Lana omg it has segments so you can bet on where it will stop - skids roulette
@Lana As an Alabamian I must disagree. They overshot. Alabama hasn't produced anything this impressive, ever.
@Lana Let us pray they never develop Florida Man.
@uriy @Lana Shanghai Man survives river dolphin attack without spilling pint of rice wine
@Lana Thatโ€™s me trying to parallel park.

@Lana

That's a spider trying to get out the bath tub.

@Lana alt text isn't really doing this justice though -- it's spinning end-for-end as it does a slow donut! :))

@Lana i wonder if there if something to be written on how even rural areas (within the imperial homeland) take advantage of the economic might of empire...

Did something similar happen in 1800s England?

@sortius @Lana Rice tractor drag racing is awesome. Itโ€™s as close to Pod racing as weโ€™ll get.

@Lana

World's biggest wok, and they're stirring the world's biggest omelette.

@Lana You've gotta love the juxtaposition with the rainbow pride colours!
@level98 @Lana so it's a lab-grown Chinese Alabama, but inoculated with the Woke Mind Virus?
@Lana I hear that they also deep-fry French toast (specifically in Canto-Western fusion cuisine), so we might as well cede the state fairs too
@Lana Ah, but in China it's an EV truck.
@Lana Boys & trucks, man. Sigh โ€ฆ

@Lana

I'd pay good money to ride that! ๐Ÿค‘

@Lana Inside of the truck looks the same, but even more colorful
@Lana ๐ŸŽถ Panama! Panama-ah! ๐ŸŽถ
@Lana we agree with this characterization
@Lana itโ€™s just a cheap Chinese knockoff of a genuine Alabama.
@Lana hope that isn't a pool of beer.
@Lana Why do we have to fight?
@Lana what is it about being the sole world superpower that makes you do this?
@Lana their scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
@Lana oh man i would Much rather go to chinese alabama, it looks fun. and i imagine they're less likely to lynch me
@Lana seems like an inefficient car wash.
@Lana @josh Theyโ€™re even going to nascar approved anti-clockwise direction.
@Lana humid subtropical climate baybeeeeee
@Lana China wants to appeal to the western world
@Lana Alabama is a pure concept, it will arise again and again throughout history, unbidden.
@Lana the universal human impulse to do stupid shit in a big vehicle
@Lana want to watch this. Want to do this.
