maybe I'm ignorant but 外 is the same in simplified and traditional so idk why he highlighted it. the font looks weird though

for 確 they used a font that doesn't draw the center stroke all the way down but it's the simplified form? (I wrote the traditional form here cause thats what I use most)

and then for 將 they wrote another word that idk (I also wrote the traditional form here, the one in the twitter post has simplified radicals that aren't in traditional?)

edit: something was copied/pasted or there was some machine conversion that mixed in a weird font. or it was an optical character scan maybe, image to text

Antonymous posted:

oh the twitter breaks it down its the japanese form lol and there is more actual traditional in there. very weird

edit: so even the twitter post using the character looks like the japanese form, and I tried translating 外 to japanese and it gave me the same weird variant as the one in the paper. so it's using a japanese character set, sometimes. And whatever font Twitter defaults to, it does the same thing, because if I copy paste the japanese characters they become chinese.

So my conclusion is someone sent Zenz the text on an app like Twitter which hosed up and made it sometimes use japanese variants and he copied and pasted because he can't read/isn't sensitive to those changes they show up in the "official documents"

Evidenced here, even the twitter OP had their text changed to a japanese variant, at least to my viewing on chrome. if I copy paste that character somewhere else, it becomes the chinese variant




idk if anyone with twitter could show the OP cause it makes perfect sense

First of all, its Zenz.

Second, that doc definitely got passed around in editing form (not jpg form) in many different computers that didn't installed proper mainland acsii codes.

But is it possible the government mainland PC also didn't have proper simplified fonts? Yes that's also possible, mainland has a lot of bootleg Win XP and Win7 one-button installed images.

Whenever Zenz is mentioned I feel like it should be pointed out that he is completely insane.

just because adrian zenz is a german evangelic lunatic who has never set foot in china , can't read any non western language and believes he is the leader of a crusade against the satanic fornicating communists doesn't mean his research isn't complete bullshit, you're right :hai:

I found out a bunch of poo poo about rice recently, like rice is really fickle and all sorts of poo poo that you wouldn't think about impacts the rice yield and texture. Like the humidity when it grows can have a massive impact on it even when you're just hulling it; if the humidity is too high or low you'll crack the rice

the wiki page on the father of hybrid rice had some great rice facts

also I learned this a while back but have always thought it was cool that rice farmers growing it in water isn't a necessity, it's just that rice can grow in water and it makes pest control way easier. amazing. what a good plant.

All I know is that Cadillac Desert went on about how salt is a huge problem and was probably responsible for destroying some civilizations. Salt builds up over time in the soil, if not properly managed. Eventually this will ruin crop yields and then we'll you're out of food. Today that applies to all the other elements and chemicals included in fertilizer, and it's a big problem for farming in USA and other areas.

not exclusive to china but it's so cool when they combine it with ducks or crayfish to eat bugs and pests.

then at harvest time you get roast duck rice.
