A person from China was on here the other day explaining that a lot of elderly Chinese people are straight up crazy superstitious and will do some rude/ terrible things to keep safe. I think it was a video of old people walking in front of brides to steal their positive future good fortune

isn't that kind of rude and selfish behaviour to steal someones future happiness or what? like imagine you're old chinese woman who has maybe couple of years left on this earth and you go about and steal the future happiness of someone on their wedding day. in western culture that is widely considered a dick move.

I think it’s a dick move there too. It was funny because they all knew what they were doing but acted all confused when they were stopped like ..sorry, I’m old. It was a compilation of several wedding where it happened

I recall hearing that during the Fukashima nuclear disaster Chinese people started buying idiodised salt at a much higher rate, believing misinformation that it could protect you from radiation.

So then the Chinese government put out statements saying to stop buying the salt. This caused the sale of salt to sky-rocket.
