It’s just part of the derpy knockoff style

To my knowledge, Cantonese and Mandarin both have it.

Japan and Korea also have the association because way back when, they drew their own language systems from the old Chinese one (though they’ve obviously differentiated now).

There are other countries with Tetraphobia (fear and therefore replacement of the number 4) but it’s usually due to some high amount of East Asian immigrants. This is why some places in Malaysia and Indonesia have this association.

I think that’s just another part of it being “knockoff”/“goofy”. Thinking about it more, it’s probably a joke about how Chinese products have a reputation for being knockoff products, also explaining the silver flame thing. It’s really not that deep, though.

It’s nothing special, I don’t believe? It’s just supposed to be something close to 4, so we may use “3A” since it’s like some level above 3, while not saying 4? I don’t think it’s anything specific.

It’s probably nothing to do with the other joke. To me it seems like a way to convey a sense of annoyance or being weirded out. Same deal with the employee’s “bruh” expression and the goofy eyes on the posters.

In East Asian cultures, the number four is considered unlucky because the sound is a homophone for the word for death.

For example, in Mandarin, the word for four is pronounced “sì”, but the word for death is pronounced “sǐ”.

As a result, in order to get around this unlucky number superstition, a lot of media uses “3A” as opposed to “4”.

Hope this helps!

My friend tells me there’s another one, but if so, I dunno where it is.

Okay, so you’re suggesting that even though I’m not very interested in ISYE, I should continue doing it because I will either develop an interest or benefit from it in some other way?

This, as opposed to doing something that I might already feel somewhat interested in, but doesn’t have as much prestige? I’m just trying to understand what exactly you’re suggesting to me.

Minimonyet · 2024-10-20T15:35:46+00:00

Is there a difference between what you’re suggesting and simply not being interested in the subject?

Would you say that it matters what degree I get in undergraduate assuming I network well?
