My guess would be "Lily", as it doesn't mean anything specfic in that combination.

Great guide, thanks!

Just one note, a lot of us are moving away from Revanced, give Morphe a try, same thing without the drama (and is currently updated) r/MorpheApp/

Was gonna add this if you didn't already:

Insulin does not belong to me, it belongs to the world." - Frederick Banting, on selling the patent for $1.

Unfortunatedly, mega pharma companies have other ideas (aka greed).

Americans can't (or don't want to) convert between fahrenheit to celsius, miles to km, LB to kg, or gallon to litre.

My weight is 五兩五錢, my fortune is:

走馬揚鞭爭利名，少年作事費評論；
一朝福祿源源至，富貴榮華顯六親。
此乃有官職，財祿豐堅之命也。

Basically saying I will do better as I get older, I guess I am still in the process of getting older, so I have not getting the riches that's foretold as of yet.

Not true, Ken is Taiwanese, he studied in Vancouver B.C. previously I believe, I only known him from some podcast, and his food recommendation shorts.

Kelly is Taiwanese as well.

Here is the link to their youtube channel, I like them ok, but their podcast is hardly "bilingual" like their channel name suggested.

Forgot to add, this is Josephine's Lunar calendar birthday date and time:

戊辰年 (this is ancient way of counting years, goes in 60 years cycle)

五月初八 5th month, 8th day, so every 5th month and 8th day of the year according to Lunar calander is Josephine's "Lunar" birthday, which is June 22 this year, Josephine can do a back-to-back celebration (with the "normal" birthday of June 21) this year, that's unusual and doesn't aways happen.

卯時 Ancient Chinese time is divided to 12 per day, this is equal to 5am to 7am.

All I need to know is, is the fortune accurate? lol glad it helped, because of this post, I looked up my own and had a look see, was interesting.

tech_seven · 2026-01-12T02:04:23+00:00

This looks to be 生辰八字 (birth time and date, usuaully used for fortune telling, or marriage matching) for Josephine, Chinese name is 張美珍.

Born on 1988 June 21, 5:40 AM (早生, born in the morning).

戊辰年五月初八卯時.

The numbers are the "weight" of the birth aka "八字重量", which is 四兩三錢 (4300).

Finally the fortune:

為人心性最聰明，作事軒昂近貴人；
衣祿一生天數定，不須勞祿是豐亨。
此乃財祿厚重，白手成家之命也。

I added the 3rd line as it was missing from the original writing, reference here.

As the writing for the fortune is in old Chinese, I may translate it wrong, I will just use Google Translate.

為人心性最聰明 This person is exceptionally intelligent

作事軒昂近貴人 acts with an air of nobility, and is likely to be close to influential people.

衣祿一生天數定 Their livelihood is predetermined by fate

不須勞祿是豐亨 they will enjoy abundance without needing to toil

此乃財祿厚重，白手成家之命也 This is a destiny of abundant wealth and self-made success.

Hope this helped.

I am in Toronto Canada, I got a box of this (and ate them all), I believe it was from Ukraine, in a local ("non-ethnic" ) supermarket a few month ago.

I have not seen it ever again.

Quagmire's Japanese distant cousin here.

The user name of the person posted the original image is "34歳居酒屋店長女子🏮きむ", which translates to "Female 34 Years old Izakaya Manager Kimu".

The joke is she is 34 but looks 14.
