It was evening self-study, and the class was about to watch a movie. The teacher fiddled with the computer for ages without any luck — it was running Internet Explorer, way too old a version. The moment she opened Bilibili, it flashed a “browser too old” warning and suggested downloading Chrome, Edge, or Firefox.
That’s when some unsung comrade of ours marched up to the podium and started downloading Chrome — all the while giving the teacher a very know-it-all lecture about how the browser was too outdated to access Bilibili.
A little while later, Chrome finished downloading and opened just fine.
But did you really just have to type “bilibili” straight into the search bar1—
bro tried hitting Google directly from Chinese mainland 💀
If only you knew the Bilibili URL
If only you knew that most Google services are blocked over here
And even setting all that aside—
If only you’d downloaded Edge, of all things?!2
In the end, they fiddled with it for ages and never got it working. The whole self-study period went to waste, and we all just sat there staring blankly…
Why didn’t you go help?
Me? Saving my strength! I just wanna be an NPC, so please don’t pressure me (panicking (jk)
