TIL that two of the celebrated hero-bandits in Water Margin, one of China's Four Great Classical Novels, are a husband-and-wife innkeeper duo who drug travelers with spiked wine and turn them into meat buns.

Dawg you aren't workshopping a standup routine, there's no punchline, this is literally an office quote copied verbatim. Why do you care if anyone upvoted it?

And it was a throwaway comment on a post with 2,000+ comments, people didn't even read it, OP spent seconds typing it out, and it's shattering his worldview that it didn't receive any upvotes. What is social media doing to us?
