    Hit her with the facts - the Chinese invented fake orange juice in the Tang dynasty and so that’s your fave.

      Not bad, but the Song dynasty invented the musical speech. That’s something

        Get a load of this guy. Thinks the Wing dynasty who invented fried chicken wasn’t the best.

      I fail this every single time. I always assume if somebody had something to say, they would’ve just said it. I mean, we’re already having a conversation about certain topic. Why wait for me to ask?

        Because it more fun and engaging to be asked.

    Ming dynasty was the worst. She was clearly into the Gordon era.

    As long as you can back up your choice with a reason…

    You won’t impress someone simply by choosing their favorite and being unable to say why.

    Qing, because they were so bad at it they ended the Chinese Empire entirely, and that’s awesome.

        Mao wishes he could have killed as many people with incompetence as the Qing. Rookie ass motherfucker.

    Shit, this just reminded me of one of my favorite text posts and I can’t locate it because search engines are a wasteland of paid results and spam. any chance someone has it? Description below

    The story’s narrator is walking along when they bump into a stranger who immediately begins yelling about how [linux distro] is subpar for its intended use case. The narrator calmly replies that the distro excels in specific ways but the stranger isn’t having any of it. The story ends without resolution, with the narrator looking for solace in others’ opinions.

      search engines are a wasteland of paid results and spam

      Last night I spent 45mins searching for something that I had found in the top 3 results 8 months ago. It was buried on the 3rd page. None of the other results had anything to do with what I was actually searching for.

        Try typing before:2024 at the start of the search term, it should filter things from 2024 our, and you might find it. Works the same with any other year

      I feel like I’ve read that before, but it wasn’t about linux. Must be a copypasta at this point

    maybe she was checking if you were into Wu Tang… China’s only female ruler: Empress Wu of the Tang dynasty reigned for 20 years.

    Most likely because it is the one every one knows.

    Got to hit her with the more obscure ones, that shows you know history.

      Most likely because it is the one every one knows.

      Its the one that the expensive vases are most commonly associated with. But that was also something of an apex of art and culture, so its a natural choice.

      You’re not picking the Qing Dynasty, on account of the “Century of Humiliation” ending in Japanese collaboration and a dismal final period. The Liao, Tang, and Song are the only recent dynasties of appreciable length. Get much further behind that and its barely China anymore, just coalitions of city states and warring tribes. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms Era is cool, but not what I’d call “Peak China”.

      Ming is as good a pick as any of them.

      Oh hi, yes. I’m a big fan of the Later Han Period, which lasted a whooping four years. Also, my favorite President is Gerald Ford.

        But I like the Qing specifically because I like studying empires when they decline!

        I mean, I’m partial to the Tang dynasty in part due to Wu Zeitan. Her history and time as empress are absolutely fascinating and the relative prosperity of her reign is really impressive.

    It meant you prefer war and conquest over peace, prosperity, and stability. The correct answer was the Song Dynasty.

    Source: I have never studied Chinese history and made this up, so just take my word for it.
