I think it'd be Fan Death, although I can't find whether or not Korea del Norte is on board with fan death or have fans.

You know I was about to make a North Korea joke about infant mortality and the post natal care, but if you believe the statistics (13.9 per 1000 live births, 22 per 1000 at worst), they're better than 30-40% countries INCLUDING India, and handily at that (32 per 1000).
That said, I don't know if surviving childhood in NK is more or less cruel.
-
Rule number one about dealing with NK is don't believe anything NK says.
-
Are you saying they actually had more than 74 deaths from covid? Preposterous!
-
Rule number two, be really careful believing anything about North Korea in general, positive or negative. For example, a large number of North Korean defector stories have fallen apart under scrutiny, as reported by The Guardian. Then you have media outlets like Radio Free Asia making up stories wholesale, like the Kim Jong Un haircut story which turned out to be totally fabricated but still caught on like wildfire. Or the unicorn story, which also turned out to be complete bullshit.

I'm looking at world bank data that says 7.9? Wikipedia says 22, google search says 15, but none of them claim higher than India at 32. Not even estimates can give good results, but there is a distinct reduction in all sources from 121(!!!) from their 1996 famine.

But believe its enemies lol
-
But believe US propaganda outlets? How can “nothing ever come out of NK, it’s so closed off” but at the same time “NK is nuts if you cut your hair you are kill”?
edit: just to make it clear, I don’t believe the numbers NK publicises to the world. They have every reason to not be honest about their numbers, to an Imperial world that wishes to have it annihilated.

Only marginally related to the meme: the notion that a smaller human being can be generated and cut out of a bigger one like that is mortifying to me. I don't know how women do it. Like... how, is that even possible? That's some shit out of a Alien movie. What the fuck is with you humans?
-
Whoa whoa whoa...what do you mean you humans?

We have a hard time escaping our subjective perspective. It's not a lottery. There are two humans who decide with almost 100 % certainty where they create a new human. It's hard to wrap your head around that, but understanding physicalism helps. The idea that you could be someone else is wrong.

If you accept that you are a brain in a meat mecha, sure.
Pretty sure these memes are made from the perspective of souls being real and independent of the body.

Time for a re-roll 🎲

The funny thing about this is that it's implicitly racist cope lol. DPRK sucks but why the hell would you want to be European?
-
Sounds kinda nice

-
The fuck is this shit?
-
Racists having a laugh
-
I mean, they could have said North Korea, Siberia, Somalia, etc. Race aside, some places are way more challenging to live in
-
Fellas, is it racist to not want to live under a draconian dictatorship?

The best version of this meme I saw it in a brazillian community, where they changed the doctor's answer for the expected one (Brazil) to "Caralho mano, este bebĂŞ fala inglĂŞs!" (Fuck dude, this baby is speaking in English!).
