USA use to inflate the competence of the URSS to convince the public it was a huge risk.

I just want China to not genocide Uyghurs, or alternatively for the Olympics to not be held in a country actively doing genocide. Too much to ask I guess.

Lots of countries do a little genocide though. Are there many that don't?

Yes. There in fact are many countries not doing it right now, and even some that have not done it in the past either.

The Olympics is kinda like Football, the people who decide where the games are held are deeply corrupt and will give them to the place that gives the most bribes, regardless of any other consideration.

He could literally give the kid a million dollars for the meme potential and it would be a fraction of a decimal point in his finances, offering $5000 is like a normal person giving a homeless beggar a sliced off shard of a penny

Is that supposed to dissolve fat cells or something, and doesn't it have to be shark fin oil? (Which is Preparation H)

ps Unsurprisingly everything will work (according to the innertubes)! Castor oil, baby oil, Vicks vaporub, ginger, olive oil... I've yet to see snake oil mentioned.

Kind of, yeah. The Olympics are a huge money sink that nobody wants, so only rich and evil or very poorly run countries are willing to take on the risk. IIRC the only other city that bid on these games was somewhere in Kazakhstan.

Then the World Cup will happen in Qatar, where a bunch of migrant slaves died building stadia for the event in a country that has no notable soccer history to speak of and is too hot to play the tournament during its normal timeframe. 2022 is an exceptionally bad year if you like the idea of international sporting competitions.

Migrant slaves die in Qatar all the time without football though, so it's obviously fine!

Ah yes. Pondering this subconsciously last night I remembered a blog post and realized I need to make a meme with an aerogel cube (resorcinol) being used as a shower sponge because "my precious skin is so fragile it can't have have any water on it nor abrasion because it will dry out and blow away in the wind". I'll dumb that in the meme thread; I guess here we have to wait for a headline about Sonic showers.
