Chinese GF has informed me this is called "scrubbing the wok" (hence why there's foamy water in the middle) and you can see a million more of these videos if you search 越野刷鍋 (off-road hot pot).

i'm designing an entire curriculum for my child based on this post
Today my Gen Z friend and I were talking about vintage tech, and she asked me what “the box under the screen” was called. I feel BAD about how loud I shouted “THE COMPUTER???” (“No, the box the screen sits on.” “THE COMPUTER???” I shouted again, even more rattled now)

New way to help: donate Delta Skymiles to get people home to Minnesota if they're released from detention in Texas.
Okay! This has already inspired a bunch of DMs, so I made a page on the website. If you have 50,000+ Skymiles and would be willing to book flights to get someone home, please fill this out.
