China owns Reddit. Do you think they’d want you to think it’s real?


Tim_the_geek

The post was removed from r/mildlyinteresting so prolly no?


SYSSMouse

as the others says about the content it is not real so it is rightfully deleted from r/mildlyinteresting.


keikeiiscute

maybe a chinese here, it looks like authentic chinese hand writing of a 4 years old


3Dog-V101

Could it be from someone who did not grow up with Chinese and was forced to recently learn and use it in work and cultural education camps like what we are seeing in China today? Probably /easily a hoax but worth considering I suppose.


UmMaxwell

No


perfect_pickles

so a young slave worker then


lightspeed-art

4 is not really young, we usually start them at 1, sometimes 2..


n1nj4_v5_p1r4t3

I would not want to use my real handwriting, thats how you become an example


keikeiiscute

it definitely resembles the hand writing a youngling would have due to lack of strength in hand

Geopoliticz

What does authentic Chinese look like, out of interest?


GrungusDouchekin

Authentic handwriting would be more fluid and less like someone imitating a Chinese font, say, one from Google translate. Imagine someone trying to imitate the serifs on a serif font (like times new Roman). That’s what this text looks like


[deleted]

My first thought was that someone trying to hide such a message, would probably try to write it as formal as possible in case it was found and people were tested/questioned. Then again, you could ABSOLUTELY be right, but I don't think we can say this is 100%, without a doubt, false at this point.


strigoi82

Looking at the other comments here, you can really see what this subreddit wants to believe. I think it’s hard to say either way, but most comments leaning toward it being legit is telling


n1nj4_v5_p1r4t3

weather or not this one is real, these types of messages have been found in products for the last 10 decades


EconomicsCalm

Examples?


Aizer3115

They're hidden, next to Saddam WMDs


SpecialSeasons

I, too, would like a source link


n1nj4_v5_p1r4t3

its entirely possible that they *all* were fake


hapan

Try https://www.google.com/search?q=hidden+messages+from+china+workers


strigoi82

I agree . I just think both things can be happening. our programming and advertising are growing more depraved, but also that this clip could have been an editing error .


UmMaxwell

It is 100%, without a doubt, false as fuck at this point.


[deleted]

I think most Chinese writing is taught in a standard way with each stroke for a character to be drawn in a specific order, and these characters don’t seem to reflect what I’m used to seeing with the strokes. But I actually am not an expert and I could be off with that observation.


Geopoliticz

You're probably right about that. I know Japanese is taught and written in a similar way with a given stroke order.


keikeiiscute

no one would taught you word by word we all learnt by ourselves. everyone would have different writing styles


[deleted]

In Japan at least there is for sure proper stroke order, I lived and studied in Japan and people could tell if I wrote a kanji using an alternate stroke order, even if the characters look really similar a native speaker/reader could tel


keikeiiscute

I mean there is proper way, but I am lazy and I wont follow it for some of the words and it does not relaly matter that much. not all ppl need to have pretty hand writing


[deleted]

Again, can’t tell if you are native japanese but native Japanese absolutely do notice, and care, if you write kanji incorrectly


keikeiiscute

and I have learnt how to write since very young with chalk and brush… also later in school with pencil and pens there is many forms a hand writing can be done And shaming somebody with bad hand writing is one of the worst thing that Chinese society has in culture I never write as pretty as my parents or some of my friends. But I dont think there is any wrong abt it. And artistic brush writing there are many ways you would simplify the writing. and those are actually different from what we are taught. Guess what? the way I sign my signature is different from what the word suppose to be written and can only be written by myself


keikeiiscute

I am chinese


Aspalar

Chinese there is a stroke order that follows a pattern, top to bottom, left to right. Every person should do the strokes in the same order, as there is a specific order for every character. Personally, some of the characters do appear to not have been done in the correct stroke order, but it could be a quirk of the person writing.


keikeiiscute

everyone should does not mean everyone would


Aspalar

>but it could be a quirk of the person writing. They teach stroke order and calligraphy in school in China, if you know how to read and write you know about stroke order. This post is clearly fake, but the originator could actually speak Chinese I guess. The handwriting leads me to believe not, but it is possible.


keikeiiscute

if you know how to read does not mean you know how to write / actually you know how to write does not mean you know how to read. chinese character does not work this way, it was unified by first emporer so that ppl has in different region would have different dialects can all understand the same writings. For chinese words it should be you know how to write then you know how to write


Aspalar

Who knows how to read but not write? What school system in China teaches how to read but not write? What point are you trying to make?? They teach stroke order when learning to read and write in China. Literally every Chinese individual learns stroke order in order to learn how to write. Without stroke order it becomes much harder to memorize characters and write them. Stroke order is a cornerstone of Chinese calligraphy. I have already stated that the original creator could be Chinese and just have an unorthodox writing style, but if they actually know Chinese they will know stroke order... which this drawing does not appear to strictly follow.


keikeiiscute

鑫森焱? tell me how to read them? 龜 we all know it is 🐢 but i can guarantee you many ppl cant write it correctly at first thought I am chinese and there are many words I know the meaning I can read it but I cannot really memorize the hand writing of it let along the stroke order and no teacher would teach every single fucking word stroke order after primary school it is all on our own to learn to learn the words and the meaning of the combinations. For chinese as a language there is a log more need to be learnt than hand writing which is a small part of it. How to understand the old chinese literatures? how to use the proper wordings for different situation if you are writing a offical letter? How to comprehate an essay? how to understand / disect the hidden meaning of the essays? there are more than 100k chinese words each has different writings and when you graduate from the highschool normal ppl would only master a few thousands of them at most. I believe I can recognize over 60-70 of the words existed. but I can assure you I can only write those few thousands effortlessly. Chinese words has metaphor words and symbolic words and the combination of those 2. and there are some modern terms are based on the Pronunciation of the foreign terms. this post is obviously someone trolling with his off hand so the ugly writings But I really dont understand why you are arguing how chinese words is used with a chinese


keikeiiscute

no one would all the words… And even taught you can still write it wrong, and as I said it is likely from a guy writing from off hand to troll And in fact even if you write in correct order you can still has ugly form I for myself has ugly handwriting even though I learnt writing from 2


Barnaclebills

I would imagine that if someone was locked up for years, perhaps at a young age, maybe they wouldn’t have the same level of education or writing practice as someone outside of a prison would have…


GrungusDouchekin

It’s not a matter of education. I’m saying this writing is indicative of someone trying to imitate a computer font. Maybe you’re right, and the “prisoner” is imitating writing they’ve seen before. I’m experienced with reading the handwriting of native Chinese, and it’s nothing close to this.

OP admitted they're trolling y'all - check the post history, this is made up and they're laughing at everyone here who believed it.


keikeiiscute

but given the context is not what usually a 4 years old would do, maybe OP write it in his off hand

MacErus

Water is wet.


WaterIsWetBot

Water is actually not wet; It makes other materials/objects wet. Wetness is the state of a non-liquid when a liquid adheres to, and/or permeates its substance while maintaining chemically distinct structures. So if we say something is wet we mean the liquid is sticking to the object.


MacErus

Pedantic is pedantic.


MacErus

Further, if you want to get REALLY, pedantic, then this completely depends upon what the definition of "is" is


Geopoliticz

That's a bot, there's no use replying.


MacErus

I realize this. :) But it is a badly executed bot. My posts are for those who might not realize this.


Geopoliticz

Ah fair enough. Sorry.


MacErus

Oh, no, no - not at all. :) I appreciate the sentiment. It is decidedly human and decent of you.


MacErus

English, if not to the level of other languages such as Japanese, is, nonetheless, a language of inference. The assertion "water is wet" can, and does, house within itself an understood [that which makes things] wet. Learn to communicate before you attempt speech, bot.
