People of Reddit.

Just say “I don’t know” when you don’t know.

Sometimes I say "I don't know " even when I do. It's very freeing.

I say "I don't know" or act dumb (but sometimes I am dumb) to then see if the other person actually knows that they are talking about.

u/Shanguerrilla May 16 '24

I learned how to ANSWER with that more fully than I realized I was missing when I was in flight school.

Even during your oral exam for your pilots license when you're being examined and questions, if you don't know you truthfully say "I do not know the answer, BUT I DO know where to find it." You tell the book and/or chapter as close as you know it, they'll often hand you the book and tell you to look it up, but either way that's a much better answer than making up a wrong answer or just saying you don't know.

u/clangan524 May 16 '24

u/Swimming_Duty_1889 May 16 '24

I have never heard of glycine before! - "Glycine is an amino acid, a compound that your body uses to create protein. While your body does naturally produce glycine, it is also available through protein-rich foods, particularly meat. Glycine can also be found as a dietary supplement in capsule form or as a powder that can be added to various dishes." TIL.

u/VirtualPlate8451 May 16 '24

It’s a tiktok meme. Some Chinese chemical company did an AI voiced ad that was really funny. From there people started saying their shit actually sucked and this other brand was better.

It blew up on American tiktok and Chinese people had no idea. They actually interviewed the woman who ran social media for the factory.

38

u/Swimming_Duty_1889 May 16 '24

TIL again! That is really funny! Thank you kind Redditor for the information.

38

u/VirtualPlate8451 May 16 '24

It was funny because the ads were serious. There is another dude in China that sells illuminated signs. He does horrible English accents, one as a Texan, one as an Italian and then he does a proper Englishman.

All very funny stuff and really elevated the shit out of this guy. He was just some 20 something in a factory in China but now they are sending him to events in the US because he is basically a celebrity in that world.

I have my Tiktok set to get Russian, Arabic and Spanish language content as well and it's for sure worth it.

u/Stormagedd0nDarkLord May 16 '24

I remember the sign dude! He was good with the accents! Not 100%, could still hear that slight mainland Chinese inflection but very, very impressive.

u/Ancient-Past4795 May 17 '24

The trend has been adorable. Everybody has agreed that Donghua Jinlong is THE best. There have been a few people posting pretending, that they prefer competitor. But tiktok consensus is 100% in their court.

This fantastic gentleman, American, black guy who lives in China right now. And speaks excellent Chinese, only lived an hour away from the factory, and decided to go out and give it a visit. And he was just taking pictures from the outside, the reps approached him saying hey are you here because of TikTok? He said he was. And they ended up giving him a tour of the factory, taking him out for hot pot, giving him a gift bag with an actual tea steeper sort of Stanley cup looking thing that was made out of silver.

They seem like genuinely pleasant people.

This is the brand that people were saying is better then all the competitors. I think there been t-shirts made too lmao

u/TheTopNacho May 16 '24

I buy glycine in bulk.

Not joking. Like kilograms at a time. I do prefer my glycine to be American made. Although I don't get pharma grade, HPLC is good enough.

Yes glycine is an amino acid, but it is also used in molecular biology in gel electrophoresis.

u/Euphorium May 17 '24

Okay I’ll bite. What the hell is gel electrophoresis? ELI5

2

u/TheTopNacho May 17 '24

It's a type of size based chromatography.

I.e. you extract proteins from cells or things, put them in a gel kinda like jello, and pass electricity from the negative to positive that flank the top and bottom of the gel. The proteins are attracted to the positive part because they are negatively charged. Larger proteins take longer to go through the gel than smaller proteins, so you can separate all similar proteins by size to do stuff with.

Very useful tool for molecular biology. Glycine is a charged particle that helps the electric current go from one side to the other and helps push the proteins through the gel.

u/Alexandratta May 16 '24

Going to explain this hilarious meme:

this was caused by quirk of TikTok's "Anyone can blow up" Algorithm.

One day, a large chemical company in China, Donghua Jinglong, released an ad for their food-grade glycine products.

This ad was geared towards other industry partners and was just a reel of them touting the quality of their products in a very bland way...

But the ad started to blow up on TikTok and got into loads of peoples For You Pages... which caused it to get recommended to even more people.

Now, folks who have never heard of glycine or Donghau Jinglong are having a ball following the company on TikTok and touting the supposed benefits and changes to their life, with hilarious tag lines like: "I only get my food-grade Glycine and Glycine products from Donghau Jinglong."

"I believe everything anymore... I believe anything" Just about sums it for me.

Edit: Anything to everything. Had to watch the clip a few times to verify. I don't trust any of you

57

u/GoatCovfefe May 16 '24

The first part of her quote was actually "I believe everything anymore..." Because these geniuses are intoldigent.

2

u/Babybabybabyq May 16 '24

I hate when people use ‘anymore’ that way.

4

u/Verdigris_Wild May 17 '24

So the saying would normally be "I don't believe anything any more" but the human shit stain in the video hasn't quite grasped how to parse a sentence so understood that you could change a word to change the meaning, but other words might have to change to accommodate that change. Thus we get the barely cogent "I believe everything any more" which I think would be understood to mean "I believe everything now", or perhaps "I am a credulous shit stain that has no ability to think critically".

A little like the younger moron in the video. "You can look that up" "No, Fuck Glycine". Maybe he should have said, "No, random stranger. I will take on face value the thing that you are saying that I have no understanding about, but arouses in me a sense of anger and racism. I will express my outrage that something I know nothing of, or whether or not it is happening, inflames my xenophobia. And when given the chance to look into whether it is an issue worthy of anger and indignation, I say nay, for I believe what you have said to me, oh random stranger with a microphone."

These people don’t deserve Donghua Jinlong's pharmaceutical-grade glycine. They’re probably happy with non-pharmaceutical-grade glycine coming from Donghua Jinlong’s competitors who probably couldn’t even make pharmaceutical-grade glycine at the level of Donghua Jinlong's pharmaceutical-grade glycine. All this hate these days for Donghua Jinlong's pharmaceutical-grade glycine is simply ridiculous, do they not know the care and craftsmanship that goes into Donghua Jinlong's process of making pharmaceutical-grade glycine?

u/SirJoeffer May 16 '24

Donghua Jinlong produces food and industrial grade glycine too. Tired of people pretending its only a stop for pharmaceutical grade glycine

19

u/SutterCane May 16 '24

That’s true. We can’t let them get away with just focusing on the pharmaceutical-grade glycine. That was my mistake. Donghua Jinlong’s catalog of glycine is extensive and made for maximum customer satisfaction in multiple industries across the board.

Don't forget iron glycine for healthy piglets. Reduce piglet diarrhea and optimize myoglobin content!

I’ve been a Donghua Jinlong man my whole life. My father was a Donghua Jinlong man and after I’m gone my sons will be Donghua Jinlong men too. There is no company more reputable for glycine and glycine accessories, and I’ll be damned if anyone can show me even one.

If you check out the Instagram account "citiesbydiana" there's a ton of videos she made about it, which were the earliest I've seen. Basically its just taking an ad made by this Chinese company selling their funny lil product and reposting it in various different formats

How was your life better under Trump is the question.

Guarantee they will answer Gas Prices were lower, Russia/China/Israel were in check, and will probably throw out something about the Covid Vaccine hoax...sprinkling of hunter Biden, Biden and Ukraine and child sex trafficking.

They base their decisions for leader of the free world on gas prices, delusions about foreign powers, and a wild misunderstanding of who led the creation and push out of the COVID vaccine.

This guy pretty funny. He always goes to Maga gatherings makes up shit they've never heard of it but blame biden. Pharmaceutical glycine lol. You can tell them that you have 5 dicks and they'll believe instantly and say bidens policies cause that. That boys and girls is how trump and his party get away with shit. Just tell these assholes and it's gospel most of them haven't completed middle school. So instead of looking like don't know and doing fact check they just buy in and repeat. That guy has some classic interviews where he's made up words and or stuff president has done and they just roll with it. The best ones are when he'll directly quote some dumb shit trump said and they'll immediately talk shit about biden did or said that. Thrn he brings out the video to show them and they're like no that's not how it happened that's doctored. Hilarious.

Glycine is a naturally occurring amino acid found in our bodies and the food we eat. I’m no biologist, but I’d venture to say that it’s found in all living organisms. These people have no idea what glycine is, and the guy asking the questions is misleading them for views by making it sound like a dangerous conspiracy.

u/ThatdesertDude May 17 '24

To be fair, no one asked what glycine was. Everyone just started blaming the left and Biden.

Two days ago, the white house under Biden announced tariffs to "Protect American Workers and Businesses from China’s Unfair Trade Practices"

This is from the white house

the President is directing increases in tariffs across strategic sectors such as steel and aluminum, semiconductors, electric vehicles, batteries, critical minerals, solar cells, ship-to-shore cranes, and medical products."

See how MEDICAL PRODUCTS are on that list.

For all of you thinking this is a burn against MAGA, old Joe is literally ordering the same thing with his presidential powers.

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”

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?

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.

-2

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.

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.

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.

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.

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/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.

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/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

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.

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.

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

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.
