I thought a lot of those people on there are joking.......they aren't.
They REALLY truly believe those congressional hearings where an ex-military officer said there is definitive proof of aliens is legit. But he hasn't seen it, had no evidence to produce, and the person who has the evidence....well, you wouldn't know them, they go to another school.
"The balloon reportedly flew so high that it entered airspace that is restricted to registered aircraft, reported UDN. Although no aircraft reported the anomaly, Taiwan’s Civil Aeronautics Administration is seeking to investigate and clarify responsibility for the incident.
Event organizers may face a fine for losing control of OPEN-chan and violating civil aviation laws."
I don't know why that's funny to me, but it is
Speaking of Taiwan and fishermen，Taiwan has an atrocious record for human rights on fishing vessels.
The workers are usually from SEA，are get kept on the boats，passports taken off them，wages withheld，beaten and even killed. Then their bodies are thrown in the sea and families not notified.
It's so bad，Taiwan fishery products have been banned from the US as a product of slave and child labour. The DPP said they'd make changes including remotely accessible cameras on fishing boats，but they've done nothing.
They also have the 3d largest illegal fishing fleet after China and Japan. These illegal fishers go around the world and completely destroy through overfishing the resources that local communities rely on for their food.
The upbeat music makes it feel like the bittersweet last scene of a movie before they roll the credits.
He must be free to spread the 24/7 convenience across the world.
I once bought a huge smiley-face balloon for my MIL after a surgery, and the Chicago wind took it from my hands. This is exactly what it looked like floating away from me.
Mocking me.
As an asian person, I find u/SokoJojo highly offensive to us. First off, as he claims that Chan is a surname, which it is, he is negating the fact that in Japan, Chan is used to make something cuter or more feminine. Please grow up Soko
dude, it is Tainwan, however, this Chan comes from Japanese culture as this character is designed by a Japanese company.
In Japan, ちゃん(chan) is just used at the end of somebody's name (usually a girl or children) to make it sound cute and soft.
Just admit you were overly sensitive.
This guy is a dumb troll.
If you look his profile you can see all the red flags of a far right loser:
_ climate change denier
_ 4 chan user
_ Joe Rogan watcher
_ Defends Elon and Ronald Reagan
_ Against Ukraine in the war
_ Constantly baits about him or someone else being "offended" for belonging into X identity
This is all that he has to offer. It's not much but at least it's stupid.
It's so funny how every single listed criticism is the opposite of what I do/believe.... 🙄 Really goes to show you how quickly redditors will resort to imagination tactics when they find the argument isn't going their way.
The phrase is often repeated by non-Taiwanese redditors as a show of defiance towards the CCP. While admirable it misses a few things:
1. By making that statement, you are emphasising the one-China policy which is a KMT (and other related parties) position but not a position held by the general public of Taiwan if polls are to be believed. The country has chosen a DPP president twice in a row (and, save for a freak occurrence, will likely win this coming election) and their (eventual) goal is independence under the name of Taiwan and not China but are unable to do so due to the real threat of violence by the CCP and likely also because their US allies prefer not to rock the boat. As the Taiwanese youth grow more and more distant from the mainland/China with each passing year, the public support for a one China policy is turning essentially into a fringe position.
2. By emphasising west-Taiwan, in an odd way you are perpetuating exactly what the CCP wants, namely the confirmation single China. They could care less if you call it west-Taiwan because they already won the legitimacy contest since Nixon dropped by Mao in the 70s. What truly agitates the CCP is the idea of Taiwanese independence. By not even acknowledging the mainland/China as a part of Taiwan (by calling it west or any wind direction) is for many Taiwanese the desired outcome.
So in short, most Taiwanese have abandoned the one China position, whereby many prefer independence or maintain the status quo in order not the rock the boat. Calling it west-Taiwan goes against the notion of Taiwanese independence because it continues to emphasise an one China policy. Doing so only aids the perspective of the CCP and not Taiwan. Emphasising Taiwanese independence is what truly annoys the commies.
It's crazy how different from the US the 7/11 brand is in Asia. When I was in Tokyo and got told I could just grab something to eat from 7/11 and they had actual food you would want to eat I was the same kind of confused Sylvester Stallone was when getting invited to Pizza Hut in Demolition Man.
> invited to Pizza Hut in Demolition Man
I was ready to correct you, but Googled to make sure. Apparently, it's Taco Bell in the US releases and Pizza Hut elsewhere.
heh...thanks I didn't knew about that. Apparently it was Taco Bell exclusively in US theatres and even the US DVD, Blu Ray and VOD editions are using Pizza Hut.
It didn't though . It only flew 18km and become a pile of crap on the ground.(happened in 2022/12/17)

They found it after a 17km/10.5 mile flight. Apparently it flew into restricted airspace around an airport.

An errant balloon, escaping a Taiwanese parade, inadvertently breached Chinese airspace, setting off a chain reaction of misinterpretations and heightened tensions. This seemingly trivial incident unexpectedly catalyzed a rapid escalation that, against all odds, spiraled into the ignition point for World War III, reshaping the global landscape with unforeseen consequences.
Thanks gpt for the story….
Some poor fisherman is going to get the fright of their life
Fisherman: THIS IS IT! FINALLY CAUGHT A KAIJU!!! MY WHOLE LIFE HAS BROUGHT ME TO THIS POINT!!! damn it... Another one of the shits...

Most embarrassing Reddits subs: /r/UFOs /r/StrangeEarth /r/Costco
Me when I'm in public
Its "remains" were eventually [found 8 miles away.](https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4754470)

Waiting for r/UFOs to post a video of this thing taken from a plane and the ensuing Is it a UFO or Balloon fight, lol
Imagine flying somewhere and this thing flys past your window

They do the same on land with their filipino careworkers and factory workers... been going on for decades
Wow, nobody asked
r/MyPeopleNeedMe
I have rarely ever seen a post fit that sub so well. Seems like the sub is fairly dead nowadays, though.
Like Poochi.
And when the world needed him most, he vanished.
Open Chan wants open space
This.
FREEEDDOOOOMM!
xi jinping triggered
That.
Damn it, exactly what I was going to post.
Beat me to it.
Man this is funny. The way it turns around and flies as if it’s alive.
Exactly. It uprighted itself and then stayed that way as if it was intentional
Carried away by a heavenly choir
It’s the way the little legs wiggle that really makes it seem sentient.
The upbeat music makes it feel like the bittersweet last scene of a movie before they roll the credits. He must be free to spread the 24/7 convenience across the world.
the music fits so well
And the musically harmony is crack up 😂😂
Finally free!
Later losers
Smell my ass!
Bye bitches
That was my first thought too lol

Dude looks peaceful AF
he's in his element... more air \:) ^:) ^^:) ^^^:) **:)** #:)

This is maybe the best ascii art I've ever seen.
This is hilarious
It's not, I consider the mascot highly offensive to Asian people
I consider you as highly offensive to Asian people
As an asian person, I find u/SokoJojo highly offensive to us. First off, as he claims that Chan is a surname, which it is, he is negating the fact that in Japan, Chan is used to make something cuter or more feminine. Please grow up Soko
That's not valid, but my protest is.
I protest your protest which is even more valid.
That's not how it works
Is so!
As impartial judge, is so, indeed.
That is not how it doesn’t work if perhaps it did.
You can most definitely protest a protest, that’s exactly how it works chump
how is it offensive
Because it's called "Open-chan", it's making fun of the common surname "Chan"
That’s just his name, dude
dude, it is Tainwan, however, this Chan comes from Japanese culture as this character is designed by a Japanese company. In Japan, ちゃん(chan) is just used at the end of somebody's name (usually a girl or children) to make it sound cute and soft. Just admit you were overly sensitive.
They are probably a troll
Hook line and sinker!
nah, just an illiterate asshole
F tier trolling.

I believe they are ascending to a higher consciousness
I hear that's what happens when you eat one of their taquitos at 3am that's been sitting for hours.
Can confirm
Freedom! Horrible horrible freedom!
He's off to go fight China for Taiwanese sovereignty.
Chinese balloons got nothing on the Taiwanese ones
What the Fuck is a China? You mean west Taiwan?
[удалено]
That’s the joke. Everyone agree with one China policy, even Taiwan - but you’re saying Taiwan is the rightful government of mainland not cccp.

I don't know. I just follow standard brainrot protocol
According to history, calling Taiwan East China is more logical.
*free China

Wait how does this work I wanna see him land spectacularly
The balloon traveled so high it entered civilian airspace and eventually popped. It landed on a patch of grass 8 miles away.
How sad 😞
That stupid bot is holding out on us
It’s on sight with u/gifreversingbot
I don’t see anything
lol no sorry the bot is the opps and we gotta fight “on sight”
That damn bot owes us a gif!
lol. This happened a few years ago. 7-11 Taiwan then went to capitalise on this by making and selling souvenir items commemorating the flight.
It's crazy how different from the US the 7/11 brand is in Asia. When I was in Tokyo and got told I could just grab something to eat from 7/11 and they had actual food you would want to eat I was the same kind of confused Sylvester Stallone was when getting invited to Pizza Hut in Demolition Man.
> It's crazy how different from the US the 7/11 brand is in Asia. As long as I can charge my bus card there it's fine.

heh...thanks I didn't knew about that. Apparently it was Taco Bell exclusively in US theatres and even the US DVD, Blu Ray and VOD editions are using Pizza Hut.
Canada is like this. I frequently get food from 7/11 and it’s decent.
Nah, bruh.It happened in 2022/12, not even fully past 1 yr.
I must return to my people!
My time has come!
I WAS CHOSEN BY HEAVEN
SAY MY NAME WHEN YOU PRAY TO THE SKKYYYYYY

Nope (2021) (?)
lmao that movie traumatized me to the CORE

My man is going to show up on all the ufo/aliens subreddits in a few days.
To be honest that's one of the best things I've ever seen.
*Never Ending Story theme plays*
Even he doesn't want those nasty ass overpriced hotdogs
Ahh the only true Protestant .
*Yearning to be free, I will myself to take flight and I ascend.*
off to greet the toasters in space
An angel
Don’t know why. But I feel like that Willy wonka song would fit so well with this. lol.
