Mongolia is poor as shit and going through droughts and deep deep freezes in the winters that are killing all of their livestock, last I heard. They are not doing well.

Then heating with rudimentary coal stoves that make their cities look like 18th century london.

Also, he's 18.

And then the Mongolians move to Japan to dominate the sumo world.

The first foreign born champion was in 1993 (from the US), and since then there have been 11 more who have made it to champion rank. 4 have been Japanese (2 in the 90s and then a gap til 2017 and then 2025), 1 more was American, and the other 6 were Mongolian. And that's despite the fact that each training stable is limited to one foreigner only.

Physical Asia proved that Mongolians are no joke.

I have lived in all five of these countries and I can confirm, it’s all true. Especially china. It just sucks cock.

That's interesting, what was Mongolia like and were you there for specific work opportunities or just because you liked moving around?

Edit: hang on... North Korea...

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today 75 points 2 days ago (3 children)

A person lying on the internet.......who could have foreseen this?

I've been to most of these countries, they are all very nice. But like with anywhere it kinda depends on when and where you are, and you typically won't get a real sense of the place unless you have a lot of time to travel.

The country side of Mongolia is beautiful in the warm season, I hear it's pretty barren and freezing when it's cold. About 50% of the population lives in Ulaanbaatar and it has a pretty bad issue with air pollution. It was very smoggy when I visited, and I hear it gets a lot worse in the winter season when it regularly has some of the worst air pollution in the world.

They heat with coal stoves, their cities are like 18th century london.

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, a lot of wood and coal fires for heating and cooling. Probably wouldn't be as much of an issue, but the city is nestled in a big valley that blocks the city from the wind so the smog doesn't really have anywhere to dissipate.

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 2 points 17 hours ago

That is the same dynamic with the mountains that makes the west coast of the US susceptible to higher air pollution, to say nothing of places like Mexico City. Not much coal that I'm aware of, but all of the exhaust has no where to go and just sits there.

Out west I noticed smoke would hug the ground more, on the continental part it rises more.

Either they started with North Korea and escaped or they ended their tour with NK and they're still there.

[–] mech@feddit.org 0 points 19 hours ago

Pretty sure they don't let tourists into North Korea when they already have a South Korean stamp in their passport.

Y'all are stupid, the answer is so obvious: he's Kim Jong Un!

You can visit North Korea. They assign a guy to you to make sure you only see the approved stuff.

sucks cock

🥵🥵 how much does it? 🥵🥵

[–] icelimit@lemmy.ml 2 points 19 hours ago

Everyone sucks, no one gets sucked

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 43 points 2 days ago (5 children)

I have a mongolian friend, he said it was a choice between a dystopian city or the vast empty nature. I guess if you like nature it could be good but the density is sooooo low there are places where you wont see civilization for hundreds of kilometers.

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

The winters are super hardcore though. I forget numbers, but it gets really really cold, worse than the upper midwest of the US and central canada in temperature, although I think they get less snow than many of us.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah i live in sweden and every time i complain about the weather he just shows me ulaanbaatar and its either like -35c during winter or +35c during summer

[–] CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

How extreme is it for you? Because it gets -30°C in the winter here, and 30°C in the summer here, in my part of Canada.

[–] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

i thought where i lived in Tasmania was bad, it gets to 1c in winter and up to 28c in Summer in the part where i live

[–] CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 1 points 29 minutes ago

Want to switch? We get blizzards in april sometimes. Also, tons of tornadoes.

[–] iocase@lemmy.zip 15 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I watched a heartwarming short of a guy getting stopped by the police in Mongolia for using a wind sail powered horizontal bike thingy.

2 locals also showed up on a moped

"It's nice to see all 5 people in Mongolia meet up to see how OP's bike works"

[–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 days ago (4 children)

There are places like that in the usa. It's about everywhere actually.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

driving through iowa for hours is honestly probably more dangerous than driving drunk. you get so bored you just fall asleep at the wheel because there is NOTHING but road

I've never been to Mongolia and have no connection to it whatsoever, but Yuve Yuve Yu somehow fills me with national pride on their behalf anyway.

[–] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I was hoping you'd have linked Yuve Yuve Yu, but wolf totem is also nice.

Basically Mongolian throat singing and metal are natural allies in music.

This post is shit. So I guess it follows the rule of the community.

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 days ago (2 children)
[–] its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 2 days ago

Right it follows the letter of the law but not the spirit.

All three of the people pictured died shortly thereafter while trying to fire a longbow on the back of a horse with their feet.
