And their metal is, well, metal as fuck.

I’ve never been to Mongolia and have no connection to it whatsoever, but Yuve Yuve Yu somehow fills me with national pride on their behalf anyway.
faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 3 weeks ago
I was hoping you’d have linked Yuve Yuve Yu, but wolf totem is also nice.
Basically Mongolian throat singing and metal are natural allies in music.

This post is shit. So I guess it follows the rule of the community.

Right it follows the letter of the law but not the spirit.

And then the Mongolians move to Japan to dominate the sumo world.
The first foreign born champion was in 1993 (from the US), and since then there have been 11 more who have made it to champion rank. 4 have been Japanese (2 in the 90s and then a gap til 2017 and then 2025), 1 more was American, and the other 6 were Mongolian. And that’s despite the fact that each training stable is limited to one foreigner only.

Was this the American Musashimaru Kōyō?
tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Yeah, first guy was Akebono, followed by Musashimaru, both from Hawaii (although Musashimaru was born in American Samoa). Not too many mainlanders join sumo, although there have been a few over the years.

Mongolia is poor as shit and going through droughts and deep deep freezes in the winters that are killing all of their livestock, last I heard. They are not doing well.
KingGimpicus@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Unfortunately he is 5’3" and the girls are 4’7".
Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
What’s unfortunate about that? Not meeting your arbitrary height standards?
DrSoap@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
That man is gorgeous at any height.
KingGimpicus@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
I am completing the pattern. Every other stereotype had a negative, why shouldn’t this one?
Or was the joke that Mongolians are better than other Asians?
nooch@lemmy.vg 3 weeks ago
1 who cares 2 avg male height in mongolia is 5’ 6" which is pretty normal worldwide

What is ’ and ‘’?
FunStuffIsFun@eviltoast.org 3 weeks ago
’ meens feet, and “ means inches. Its stupid, I know, but that’s how my country does things. 🙄
Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
This makes me think I’d enjoy a Beauty and the Beast movie set in Mongolia with this guy as Gaston’s character, but renamed “Galdan.”
Really looking forward to his version of Gaston’s song featuring, yurts, archery, yaks, mare’s milk, etc.

nah south korean is thriving, listening to kpop with flawless skin because all the best skincare products are produced locally and super cheap 시발

Physical Asia proved that Mongolians are no joke.

I have lived in all five of these countries and I can confirm, it’s all true. Especially china. It just sucks cock.
FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
That’s interesting, what was Mongolia like and were you there for specific work reasons or just because you liked moving around?
TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
A person lying on the internet…who could have foreseen this?
I’ve been to most of these countries, they are all very nice. But like with anywhere it kinda depends on when and where you are, and you typically won’t get a real sense of the place unless you have a lot of time to travel.
The country side of Mongolia is beautiful in the warm season, I hear it’s pretty barren and freezing when it’s cold. About 50% of the population lives in Ulaanbaatar and it has a pretty bad issue with air pollution. It was very smoggy when I visited, and I hear it gets a lot worse in the winter season when it regularly has some of the worst air pollution in the world.

Either they started with North Korea and escaped or they ended their tour with NK and they’re still there.

Why would someone do that? go on the internet and tell lies?

Y’all are stupid, the answer is so obvious: he’s Kim Jong Un!
bus_factor@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
You can visit North Korea. They assign a guy to you to make sure you only see the approved stuff.
AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
I have a mongolian friend, he said it was a choice between a dystopian city or the vast empty nature. I guess if you like nature it could be good but the density is sooooo low there are places where you wont see civilization for hundreds of kilometers.
Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
There are places like that in the usa. It’s about everywhere actually.

I watched a heartwarming short of a guy getting stopped by the police in Mongolia for using a wind sail powered horizontal bike thingy.
2 locals also showed up on a moped

Oulan-Bator looks like your first SimCity game when you had 10yo and just put random coal plant there and there.
teslekova@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Kinda like Shadowrun.
teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
The winters are super hardcore though. I forget numbers, but it gets really really cold, worse than the upper midwest of the US and central canada in temperature, although I think they get less snow than many of us.

I’m ethnically Chinese but never been there, well only the airport … but why’s it suck so much?
I know people that wanna go back due to cost of living but I heard housing isn’t cheap neither (depending on where you live perhaps?)
almost_genocide@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It doesn’t.
Housing is extremely affordable compared to here in the U.S. So is food, transportation and healthcare.
plutopos@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
How did you end up seeing the airport and only the airport?
BeUnique@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
I have read this comment therefore I also can confirm that everything stated is 100% facts.

Wait, Mongolia will think I’m cool because I’m 300 lbs? Dope.
I’m going to head there rn and fuckong lift the front end of some trucks.
