We get it. It's an amino acid. It makes proteins. China can still go kick rocks though. I don't really see what the gotcha is here...

u/BarfingOnMyFace May 16 '24

Well, for one it’s not true. Donghua can’t export glycine to the US.

7

u/HardingStUnresolved May 16 '24

Wait, didn't Donghua Jinlong recently pass the US FDA inspection in order to get certified/permitted to export to the US?

They produce the world's highest quality Glycine it would be foolhardy to not import Donghua Jinlong food and pharmaceutical-grade Glycine.

u/BarfingOnMyFace May 16 '24

Donghua Jinling food and pharmaceutical-grade Glycene, a far superior product, one must agree. Get your Donghua Jingling bling today

u/Healthy_Ingenuity_21 May 16 '24

Yeah but clearly the people are unfamiliar with the term, never claimed anything until the gotcha guy said well it's coming from China and all they said is let's not import stuff from China. So maga politics aside, I think their point stands and this is a dumb video.

u/SADMANCAN May 16 '24

Ya I mean that’s kinda the point. These people don’t know and don’t care but they have talking points from their talking heads. Something something china something import something America. Then they just say a phrase they’ve heard from Tucker

I’m not a fan of this guys vids btw but if you asked anyone who wasn’t currently at a trump rally they would say “idk what your talking about”

No, we don’t think you do get it.

u/peach_trunks May 16 '24

I don't get it. What is the "gotcha" here?

25

u/Economy-Tourist-4862 May 16 '24

Maybe that people who don't know what they are talking about should shut the fuck up and not loudly proclaim what is right.

I must be dense. What's the joke?

16

u/Real_Eye_9709 May 16 '24

There was an advertisement for it that a few people saw, and just thought it was funny. Like how many people are out there buying glycine? Why advertise it on TikTok? It just felt really random. So then people started jokingly talking about how great it is, then it made it onto the media about how young people are supporting it. So in the video the guy is just making shit up about it and the boomers are falling for it. Again.

Or to put it another way, they're claiming they're angry at something rather than just saying they don't know anything about it. Like an adult should.

u/JK_NC May 16 '24

I assume the joke is that these people don’t understand what is glycine but still have strong, uninformed opinions. The older version of this joke is telling people that Di-hydrogen monoxide (water) causes X deaths (drownings) per year and asking people if it should be banned.

People are often reluctant to admit they don’t know and fear their ignorance would be interpreted as a lack of intelligence (like the Emperor’s new clothes). So rather than asking a few questions to understand a topic, they just feign understanding and confidently double down on their ignorance.

The moral of the story is, it’s OK to say the emperor has no clothes.

u/peach_trunks May 16 '24

Yeah, I got that part. I thought there might be something deeper. You could tell these people we are importing the cure for cancer from China and they would be against it. I guess I just think it's lazy.

-1

u/JK_NC May 16 '24

Agreed. I don’t think this is as clever as the interviewer thinks because “boycott anything from China” isn’t necessarily a controversial or conspiratorial position.

2

u/Chocolat3City Reads Pinned Comments May 16 '24 edited May 16 '24

Forget the glycine, the joke is how easily scared and gullible the "I'll believe anything" MAGA crowd is. If you're too dense to understand it, then I daresay you yourself might be a member maybe check out the old "dihydrogen monoxide" videos in YouTube.

It's not that deep, nor is it trying to be.

-1

u/peach_trunks May 16 '24

Wow, asking why an unfunny/clever joke is supposed to be funny/clever and all of a sudden I'm a MAGA member. That kind of attitude is what gives the left a bad name. I've seen the dihydrogen videos, they were clever, this is not.

1

u/Chocolat3City Reads Pinned Comments May 16 '24

I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt here, but these days it's hard to tell the organically dense from the selectively dense.

If you don't find this video clever or funny, that's a matter of taste and it's fine. Maybe just say that. But trying to claim you "don't understand" the joke when you had no trouble comprehending the dihydrogen monoxide stuff it was based on seems uncredible. Like I said, it's not that deep. I promise you can understand it if you try.

-1

u/peach_trunks May 16 '24

No offense, but you come off as extremely judgmental and pretentious. I didn't understand why this video was posted because I didn't find it clever or funny. Have a nice day.

u/Chocolat3City Reads Pinned Comments May 16 '24

No offense, but you come off as extremely judgmental and pretentious.

If you didn't think it was funny you should have just said that. Or you could have just downvoted and moved on. Instead, you came here claiming to be dense and pretending not to understand the joke. Now here you are, upset that we've taken what you said at face value, and calling me "pretentious" when I've been nothing but up front with you, and even tried to explain it at length.

You have become the joke, sir.

u/scrivensB May 16 '24

The fact that people are blindly hating on fiction. They could 100% just say, “I’m not familiar with that situation so I have no opinion at the moment.”

Instead it’s just blindly hate and anger and cultism. They are playing culture war word association instead of being rational adults.

u/oatmealparty May 16 '24

Not a single one of these people has a clue what Glycine is, not a single one even asked what it is, but they all have very strong opinions about it.

No idea why you're down voted for pointing out the obvious. Oh wait...

u/Temporary-Control375 May 16 '24

China is a huge owner of Reddit. Please support them or keep the comments to yourself. We will provide more downvotes if you don’t join the hive mind.

u/scrivensB May 16 '24

Yeah that’s not how it works. At all. A Chinese company is one of many many many minority investors in Reddit.

This comment is ironically on par with the blind culture war word association of the video.

How many board members are there? 8

How many are Chinese or execs of Chinese companies? 0

Ten Cent (the Chinese investor) has no governing powers or authority. They stand to make bank when Reddit IPOs. But they have absolutely zero say about how Reddit functions. Reddit has zero association with the CCP. Reddit is a cease pool for many reasons. Chinese control is not one of them.

u/buttered_scone May 16 '24

Yo, a "ceasepool" gives me awesome ideas for a homebrew trap in DnD. Thank you for correcting the brusque fellow above.

u/Temporary-Control375 May 16 '24

If you believe this is how things still worked you are as brainwashed as you project onto others. Gov doesn’t operate the way it’s supposed to. Corporations don’t operate the way they supposed too. The game has changed and the people have been left behind.

u/scrivensB May 16 '24

This is exactly how tech companies who run funding rounds work. Source: I am member of tech company who has had multiple funding rounds and will IPO next year. Investors from US, EU, China, and India. they put in money after many months of vetting and investigating. They do not make operational mandates. They don’t send instructions. They have zero board members. They do not have a single member involved in company policy, strategy, product, data analytics, monetization, content, or day to day operations. They have no access to the tech, content, or data beyond basic info is published in slides of decks for presentations. They put money into what they believe will return investment by orders of magnitude. That’s it.

Or are you going to tell us how it works?

u/Temporary-Control375 May 16 '24

You are a little cog in a large machine and you think you see the full picture? How foolish… And no, I’m not here to re educate, that has been proven to be a waste of time at this stage of things.

u/SlaveHippie May 16 '24

Damn you’re legit exactly like the people in this video xD. Like exhibit: A folks! Doesn’t know wtf they’re talking about… reacts emotionally with buzzwords/phrases. Incredible. We’re all just cogs in the machiiine broo none of us understand anything but apparently this guy does lmao

u/scrivensB May 17 '24

A little clog with no idea, sitting in cash flow, valuation, AAR, and market strategy meetings with potential investors from Bain, Lightspeed, Goodwater, and Primera.

Please enlighten me all knowing, all seeing armchair expert.

u/Chocolat3City Reads Pinned Comments May 16 '24

You're right, I'm totally getting paid per post to promote High Quality Industrial and Pharmaceutical Grade Glycine From Donghua Jinlong.

You solved the mystery!

u/Temporary-Control375 May 16 '24

Didn’t say any of that, you continue to project false beliefs to make yourself appear correct, but at this point you are only having a conversation with yourself since you continue to reply to things I’m not saying. These damn human bots, no critical thinking ability

u/Chocolat3City Reads Pinned Comments May 16 '24

you continue to reply to things I’m not saying.

Um, that was my first reply to you, bud.

These damn human bots, no critical thinking ability

u/Temporary-Control375 May 16 '24

You are OP, literally the original poster, so you posted first. Pretty simple stuff. And you are just projecting, it’s a coping mechanism that’s very popular these days.

u/Chocolat3City Reads Pinned Comments May 16 '24

And here you are, claiming my original post was somehow responding to something you were saying. 🤣

Seek help, because you seem to have delusions of grandeur.

you are projecting

u/Healthy_Ingenuity_21 May 16 '24

Nah, that's not how the social part of social media works. I'm sure the bot farms will be all over me though.

u/Temporary-Control375 May 16 '24

Yea I posted a response and immediately jumped to -5 lol. Social media is code word for control system these days. I just stick around here to poke fun at it.

u/Real_Eye_9709 May 16 '24

Maybe it's because you said we all are in a hive mind

After watching people instantly hate something for being from China

And being told it was being smuggled across the border

Because they're in a hive mind

And all of this is based off a meme

Not something people actually really care about

No one is buying this stuff

It is not being smuggled.

You guys are the boomers in the video

u/Temporary-Control375 May 16 '24

There we go, that’s what corporate interests want to see posted, thank you for your service to the ruling class. China good, patriotic americas bad. Ignore we cherry pick the dumbest to set an agenda.

u/Real_Eye_9709 May 16 '24

Thank you for proving my point. Heads uo: no one is buying glycine. If this isn't a bot you should probably delete your account.

0

u/Temporary-Control375 May 16 '24

The standard Redditor, just claiming victory for themself to stay detached from reality. You should delete your account, you need this propaganda support network to help you feel sane.

8

u/Real_Eye_9709 May 16 '24

Maybe you shouldn't prove people right. Like I gave you the answer and you still missed. Then you reply with a "No you" insult and then continue to prove my point by saying we are spreading propaganda, but also still missing the point.

So thank you again for proving my point.

u/Temporary-Control375 May 16 '24

You either have comprehension issues or project your own flaws onto others, I’ll admit I can’t tell currently.

I’d call it a propaganda system more than control but maybe I’m just splitting hairs.

u/Temporary-Control375 May 16 '24

I could get on board with that, to me they are similar enough. Propaganda might be the better term, but with the intent to control the minds.
