Because the video is pulled from ads. These cars exist, believe me, I hear about them regularly in the office when someone comes back from a visit to China.

Things are changing fast. A Chinese-Canadian co-worker just sent me this, and it gives some sense of what you can buy in China (assuming you can handle the hyperbolic enthusiasm of the narrator): I still have my doubts about long-term reliability, and a lot of the gadgets hold zero appeal for...

I love the bowing and scraping to the zillionaire language, like how the little claymation model of the rich c*nt in the middle 'symbolised stewardship and responsibility' for a dude with a private zoo accused of mistreatment of animals.

I work in an office that's at least half originally from China, and the excitement for these cars is palpable. They're all looking at lists and wondering which brands and models will become available. As a corollary, they are firmly of the belief that Chinese EV's are now vastly superior to...

I think there's no payment from YouTube unless people watch for a certain period of time, so I would imagine they overdub the commentary to keep people watching long enough to get their penny. Just the video in silence would tip people off pretty quickly that it's not a real race. They also...

Ha! Tell me about it. One tip: make sure to sort by 'New' rather than popular. Some of the nicely priced stuff sells fast, like within an hour, so you want to make sure to see the freshest posts...

People record video of the MotoGP video game and post it up after a race with the race date and title as click bait for people looking for a free replay or live broadcast of the race. Yet another example of the ongoing enshittification of YouTube.

I was wondering if your love for divers would trump your disinterest in Seikos. The Samurai is a unique design, definitely doesn't owe much to the Sub, unlike 90% of divers out there. I posted on Bookface, Kijiji, and r/WatchExchangeCanada on Reddit. In perhaps a sign of the times, I got one...

I did mine myself, and if I can do it, you don't need to be a GP mechanic or have special tools to sort it out. Any reputable shop should be able to handle it. Hardest part was getting the valve cover on the front cylinder back on without twisting the rubber gasket or getting silicone sealant in...

Not if he has anything to do with it. And I don't recall the last time China openly threatened to invade Canada, or posted a picture on social media showing a map of Canada and Venezuela with a Chinese flag over it, or directly threatened Canada at a global forum. A democratically elected...

This is why I'm selling. I have more than I wear already, so bought myself a watch box with 12 slots, and promised myself that I wouldn't own more than I could fit in the box. The problem is I'm now getting to the point where I'm having so sell some pieces that I really love, but I guess that's...

Pending sale on the diver from Reddit, and pending sale on the UFO here. Happy at least one is going to a good home...

This is what makes me laugh when people get worked up about Chinese spying. The US tech giants are no less malicious, and have at best rolled over for, and at worst actively aided, Trump at every opportunity. As an Android phone owner, Google could almost literally know everything about me...

Impulse bought a Venezianico Arsenale Avventurina today, so have to shift something to make room. Have two Seikos that rarely get worn if anyone wants a GTAM special. At this price point, I'd rather one go to someone interesting at a discount rather than deal with the unwashed. First one is a...

Long history of that, too. I seem to recall GM taking an interest-free loan to keep making Camaros in Quebec, but then shuttering the plant not long after and pocketing the money, not paying it off until a few years ago? These companies have no regard for Canada in any way beyond doing business...

Ah, the double-whammy seller: wants to get all his money back for both his accessories AND his gear, plus he's an unwilling seller with the wife and baby story. Almost want to bookmark the ad just to see how many weeks it counts up before it disappears...

I think for a lot of people, eating out became eating in during Covid, and the proliferation of delivery services served that need. But only the apps made any money, so prices got jacked and now ordering almost anything in for delivery via an app is insanely expensive as everyone takes their...

Sorry to hear, man. Have been through it a few times over the past 10 or so years, and it's always awful. They become intertwined so deeply in our lives, losing them leaves a huge hole. I could tell you all the platitudes that I'm sure you're already telling yourself at the moment (better to...

Wow. That is a heck of a price for a lot of bike. Two red flags for me: First, ad is 22 weeks old. Second, stored is fine, stored in a field with tall grass and plants underneath is not. If it's actually still available and not just a forgotten ad, I would take a VERY close look at the frame...
