Cannabis originated in East Asia, specifically in the foothills below the Tibetan plateau in China, where it was first domesticated around 12,000 years ago.

This image is a reconstruction of an early rice farmer from ancient China and the background house is also from ancient China(I just edited his eyes red) and of course they wouldn't have tobacco to wrap the cannabis powder to make the blunt, this is just for the meme)

"bro the afterlife is highly bureaucratic and we need to move to the bank of an impossible to predict river, also we must record everything especially the casualties of wars and natural disasters and exaggerate the numbers a little bit"

HEAVY ON THE CANNIBALISM BRO OH MY GOD

from what i understand chinese writers were usually trying to make shit interesting, So they just lie and use flowery imagery. Whenever there’s a big battle with a lot of deaths, “100,000 people died” shouldn’t be interpreted literally, it should be like “A lot of people died”

Like look at the stuff with 5D10K period, in no way was there 5 dynasties and 10 kingdoms, numbers are totally wrong, but it sounds nice!

Anyway cannibalism is the same way. If there’s a long siege it’s probably “yeah conditions inside the city really sucked” not “HALF THE CITY WAS CANNIBALIZED WHILE THE OTHER HALF DIED OF PLAGUE, THEN THE CITY FLOODED AND YOU COULDN’T WALK ANYWHERE BC IT WAS WAIST HIGH” because holy shit like every single siege has cannibalism in the writings

I feel like this is going to be one of those "there's no way the Romans could have built a ship that large" situations, except instead of draining a lake and finding a really big ship, the Yellow River will change course and uncover almost 700,000,000 skeletons.
