Chinese People Got Mad Skilz (pics)

fixedgeargallery.com — Check out these pictures of some folks in China making the best of what they've got. I think that first photo might be plastic bottles. If so, that guy's been saving up for retirement and is on his way to cash in.

  • merdiesel, on 11/10/2007, -4/+136Ten minutes earlier, that guy was shoveling dog *****.
  • ohsin, on 11/10/2007, -2/+120i would hate to hear ***** drop from that height ewwwwwwww
  • Torx, on 10/10/2007, -3/+60This looks like some FWD: spam garbage of "welcome to the intarnet" 5 years ago.
  • allywilson, on 11/10/2007, -0/+50I cringe when thinking about the guy using 2 fanta bottles for a seat. If they slip a little sideways...
  • Gir53457, on 10/10/2007, -1/+50These people are not poor. Even the donkey guy can afford the luxury of a donkey.
  • rig0rmortis, on 11/10/2007, -16/+58Hey guys, welcome to the internet.
  • imabot, on 10/10/2007, -2/+39submitter, just checked your email from the 90's ?
  • ColonelJessup, on 10/10/2007, -2/+37Wow. That guy with all the plastic bottles probably has about 75 dollars worth!

    I'm RICH BITCH!
  • speezer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+33Confucius says- Better to have egg on shovel than egg on face.
  • sirlancelot88, on 10/10/2007, -0/+31The street sweepermobile made out of straw brooms could be like a Chinese version of steampunk.
  • imikedaman, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21Digg - Chinese People Got Mad Skilz (pics)
    They'd probably have more mad skilz if it was plugged in.
  • Nerfdude, on 10/10/2007, -4/+19you're rather a pussy.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13that my friend, is the army
  • beorne, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15Go sign Kyoto, yank!
  • sanitarium09, on 10/10/2007, -8/+19they all know kung-fu as well
  • ph3rny, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10even the title of the page has Fwd: in it
  • wiirdo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Makes me proud to be Chinese. You become more creative when you have less to work with. PIMPIN' !!! (The egg in the shovel is kinda of nasty though.)
  • TheHappyRobot, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Mirror and More pics and blogspam!
  • qber, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10You just don't have the Chinese toilet squatting skills.

    When I was in Japan last summer, the public bathrooms I encountered ranged the gamut from Chinese style holes in the ground to the high tech ones with heated seats and controls to spray water on your ass, blow warm air to dry it off, and play music so people don't hear the noises you make on the toilet.
  • joel2600, on 10/10/2007, -5/+14it's like listening to bush address the nation
  • SSUK, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11I seemingly recall similar ammounts of pollution coming from American cities which had large freeways running through the middle of them, as well as Britain kicking out the same type of pollution during it's industrial revolution. Just because China is going through what the west went through many years ago, doesn't mean we can all be critical towards them, our past is shameful for pollution so let's not be hastey to forget this. And as beorne notes, America still hasn't signed the Kyoto Treaty which means America still wants to kick out more pollution than what most countries see as a 'reasonable' ammont.
  • Yondelldude, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8At the first one: Katamari Damacy!
  • goodkidyo, on 10/10/2007, -4/+11oh herroe.
  • SteamGear, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8I don't get why people make fun of Chinese or any poverty full Asian countries. They can survive on simple things like that, and we still complain about how our lives "suck". Props to the Chinese.
  • Asianwaste, on 10/10/2007, -4/+10Necessity isn't the mother of all invention, China is.
  • justinjstark, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6I actually thought it was a really good idea. Next time I go camping I will leave the cookware at home and bring a spade. It is much more versatile.
  • loquax, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I like the 1 donkey-powered truck. This is how creative people make due with little resources. My dad has pictures of his dad from the Great Depression in the US where things like this would have fit in fine.
  • n0t0kayipr0mis3, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Shoveled eggs anybody?
  • wanzedk, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4That's a cow/ox.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Not a botanist, but I do believe that many people in one tree will void its warrantee.
  • themastersb, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Rule 34 on Digg.
  • 3amboo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3ew what if you have diarrhea?
  • J4k3, on 10/10/2007, -3/+6Oh yes, these pictures were taken in and around your house, remember? Retard.
  • spiffyfitz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I was away from digg for a good week and it seems this kind of "welcome to the internet" material is frontpaged quickly.

    The beast is evolving.
  • aolsuxp, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Taking a ***** on that toilet would cause one hell of a splash all over your legs and *****..
  • wondertwins, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2its a one ass powered car
  • MrSlumberjack, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Buried, for most moronic title ever. What the ***** has happened to digg?
  • cheekybastard, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2The last item with the toilet seat was classic, I could have used it as a squat noob.. Those porcelain squat devices are all over Africa and Asia, and if you don't got your aim right, they are a menace.
  • RevMark, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3We have several missionaries in China. The last photo is nicknamed a "Squatty-Potty". The seat apparatus is designed for westerners like us. Those floor high toilets are all over second and first world areas of China. According to our folks there, the natives dont have as much a problem with the hershey squirts as we do.
  • Sterango, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2"Lifehacks."

    We have nothing on the Asians with our trendy new lifehack sites and such.
  • Funkygrrlz21, on 10/10/2007, -4/+6Asian and proud of it!
  • aetherane, on 10/10/2007, -7/+9The pictures are interesting, but the description is rather offensive.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2 I swear doc, million to one shot, million to one.
  • Samji, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Whoops. Commented on wrong story. Damn.
  • supermanred, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Well they look like Army folk. Do you A) Take a frying pan into the field or B) Take a shovel into the field. You'd probably take the shovel too.
  • patthew, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Bamboo-punk?
  • torhu, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1testing 123
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Are you referring to something in the pictures or a part of your anatomy?
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1At least one of them's not China - the donkey van thing looks like it's from the former Eastern Bloc. Likewise, cooking on shovels is something I've heard of Western troops doing, never mind the fact you can't tell which country it is.

    Whatever. I guess people are innovative when they need to be.
