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

    Wait, how is this possible?

    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.

      Yeah the Chinese don’t have penises and just don’t understand these fleshy widgets. 🙄

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

          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?

                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.

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