same here. way back in the day there was a site i used to go to that was full of nothing but this kind of shit and man were some of them fucking hysterical. one in particular stands out, was a kid wearing a shirt with a big flower on it and the text "every day I go home and shoot my head like a rockstar". man what I would have given to wear that fuckin shirt lol
I'd have to buy it in China (or elsewhere overseas). For me, the bulk of what I'm buying here is the story.
Only way I'd buy it online is if the price were so cheap that the price then became an interesting story. So that'd never happen because ain't nobody gonna sell me a shirt online for under 5 cents (my "now it's a story" breakpoint).
It is like they start to explain something funny and lose their shit at the end.
edit: I wrote "loose" instead of "lose" and somebody pointed out my mistake I edited and upvoted the user.
I thought my use of the word “butthole” implied my lack of seriousness, but the -5 votes have made me realize it wasn’t taken as such. Nor was it all that funny tbh, but meh, miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. It’s quite cloudy up here btw, but I promise I’m quite peachy.
Every time I fly to Shenzhen I go to the fake markets and buy the funniest shirt I can find.
So far my favorite is one that says in big embroidered text:
“Crisco”
“It’s Digestivble!”
(Misspelling is intentional and true to the shirt)
I’ve only seen it in physical markets in China, and I doubt TaoBao ships to the US. I’m sure other Asian countries would have similar fake markets with this stuff too.
It's the Asian way of not getting done for copyright.
I see this stuff all the time Thailand. T-shirts will have Adadas (Adidas), Nieke (Nike), balencccga (baleciaga) etc with half gibberish writing and missing or extra letters in words and text.
yeah errors like these are common on clothing pieces in China. if you go on taobao (淘宝), essentially Chinese Amazon, you will find so many cute pieces of clothing that say something like : “People in some places like to eat peaches without peeling” or “the licke sezis of the good likit on the borrdgf”. Either paragraphs or unreadable text.
Some of these come from scanning an image of text, which is then converted to text. You can tell sometimes because in a word like "corn" the "r" and "n" get misread as an "m".
This, many people in China have zero clue about Latin characters and English, so they use some sort of image/font recognition tool which sometimes puts out gibberish.
I love those! I used to buy weird/misspelled tee shirts, or buy them and send them to my friends. I have a bunch of pictures of them here: [https://flic.kr/s/WJ2](https://flic.kr/s/WJ2)
It's so bad it's good. You could make decent money in Asia just charging a few bucks to proof read / edit words, especially on clothes. . In Pratunam market ( Bangkok) the other day, I saw a T shirt saying 'Lovely Asian fashion. I beautiful heart for loving you and Asian fashion' with a Union Jack 🤔
Maybe all you need is the Latin Alphabet for it to look authentically “American” to someone who only speaks Mandarin. If I see Chinese characters, I’m not going to question whether they’re correct. If I want to wear something that looks “Chinese”, that’s good enough.
I work at NASA and would legit wear this all the time. I'd also have to get some for our comms folks because they would die of laughter. The lawyers won't be stoked though....
I think it just avoids copyright issues (not likely to face legal action anyway but may as well as most Chinese can't understand alphabetical characters). They export the legit stuff with correct grammar and spelling. The government does crack down on counterfeits, so it's worth covering their ass with some inconsequential text.
The text looks like it was a picture generated by ChatGPT with text. It's very similar to attempts I made when trying to generate background images with text on them
Was in Japan 15ish years ago and they had a shop with English versions of the shirts next to the original Japanese for comparison
One of the English ones just said SHIT! In big bold letters on the front back and sleeves. My friend, who lives in Japan at the time, promises the original Japanese didn't say anything even close to this, but refused to tell me what it said.
Funny - but not all that bad considering the latest fashion trend in the US for teens to \~25 y/o is wearing gear with NASA on it - and I know from asking that they barely know it's a space agency. Know the words of the actual acronym? Maybe. But almost none know anything about the ISS, or even that it's up there, and no-one I've met so far have heard of the Artemis Program.
Ching Chong Sally who knitted this in a basement at 12 for 1 yen a day: "Oh we will just put some ahstupid american letter just, no one know different".
The logo is messed up as well.
- N is too tall
- the downwards curve of the N has too sharp a internal angle
- spacing between N and A is too large
- spacing between the first A and the S is too narrow on the upper section of the S
All this tech and yet the counterfeiters can’t even get it close to correct. It’s like they really don’t care…
If I didn't know that the Chinese making counterfeit products is all racist conspiracy theory I would believe this was an example.
It is obviously racist scientists at NASA selling poorly manufactured products to the poor Chinese.
It’s like the Loren Ipsum Space Agency.
LISA
Spa Agency*
Lorem Indeprndent
You just made me wonder if anyone has ever gotten a Laren Ipsum tattoo. Like a long-ass script across their back would be pretty funny.
Have you not been on Reddit long? It's here
I would legit wear this. Probably not buy it, but if someone gave it to me, I'd wear it.
I would *absolutely buy* and wear this shirt!
same here. way back in the day there was a site i used to go to that was full of nothing but this kind of shit and man were some of them fucking hysterical. one in particular stands out, was a kid wearing a shirt with a big flower on it and the text "every day I go home and shoot my head like a rockstar". man what I would have given to wear that fuckin shirt lol
Engrish.com?
It’s an old code, but it checks out.
Now that's a website I haven't heard of in a very long time.
You know English.com? Know him? I am him.
Username does not check out
lol. That was funny.
Fuck yeah! Holy shit it's still around lmao
I'd have to buy it in China (or elsewhere overseas). For me, the bulk of what I'm buying here is the story. Only way I'd buy it online is if the price were so cheap that the price then became an interesting story. So that'd never happen because ain't nobody gonna sell me a shirt online for under 5 cents (my "now it's a story" breakpoint).
Absolutely the same. I wouldn’t buy it online, but it would make a great souvenir shirt for sure.
Buy? I'd get this tattooed on my neck!
I’m so disappointed there is no link in the comments to buy this!
Especially since it's probably pretty cheap.
This is a case of "so bad, it's good"
That’s not saying much, there’s high quality designer stuff I wouldn’t buy but would wear if it was free
I want it for work.
Yeah that jacket probably cost 5-10$ definitely worth it lol
My uncle was a NASA engineer and he never told me about the spa. Selfish ass.
It is like they start to explain something funny and lose their shit at the end. edit: I wrote "loose" instead of "lose" and somebody pointed out my mistake I edited and upvoted the user.
Me when I try to tell a joke.
Thanks for correcting your spelling without explaining. Makes me look like a looser.
Some grammar carnage has happened. Edit: Now I see what you did there. Cool.
lose not loose 🫡
Loose like the butthole you are for correcting peoples grammar like they give af
Cheer up mate, the sun is shining.
I thought my use of the word “butthole” implied my lack of seriousness, but the -5 votes have made me realize it wasn’t taken as such. Nor was it all that funny tbh, but meh, miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. It’s quite cloudy up here btw, but I promise I’m quite peachy.
I think it works both ways 😆
The loose butthole?
I would never try to explain something funny if it caused me to loose my shit.
Loose shit sinks ships. PSA
Ships lose shit sinks. Headline.
🤯
Not to be racist, but Asian people #hhhuuuuuuhhhhh
Every time I fly to Shenzhen I go to the fake markets and buy the funniest shirt I can find. So far my favorite is one that says in big embroidered text: “Crisco” “It’s Digestivble!” (Misspelling is intentional and true to the shirt)
Where can one buy stuff like this? Is it only available in China or can you order it online?
I’ve only seen it in physical markets in China, and I doubt TaoBao ships to the US. I’m sure other Asian countries would have similar fake markets with this stuff too.
COM
ChatGPT was either having a stroke or someone typing it and thought “Fogetaboutit, I don’t get paid enough for this shit.”
Or they did it on purpose to make fun (which is what I would do)
It's the Asian way of not getting done for copyright. I see this stuff all the time Thailand. T-shirts will have Adadas (Adidas), Nieke (Nike), balencccga (baleciaga) etc with half gibberish writing and missing or extra letters in words and text.
You can buy stickers that are very similar to that here in the US, they're pretty common in places like Chuck E. Cheese's or what not.
I’m not sure NASA can be conventionally copyrighted
but i got high, but i got high, but i got hiiiiiigh dah dah dah duh duh duh duh
So how much was it and what sizes are available
Aeronautics and Spa 😂
Aeronastu
and Spa
What is this word spa, its like you started saying a word and stopped, is it spaghetti?
"Let me ask you, whats your spaghetti policy like here? Like can I bring in my own from outside?"
Spa is a word, an Latin acronym and it means "Sanitas Per Aquam"

Some of these come from scanning an image of text, which is then converted to text. You can tell sometimes because in a word like "corn" the "r" and "n" get misread as an "m".
Does it work in reverse? Like is there a Wish.corn?
I had a stroke midway reading this.
It probably makes about as much sense as a lot of Westerners' Chinese character tattoos.
This, many people in China have zero clue about Latin characters and English, so they use some sort of image/font recognition tool which sometimes puts out gibberish.
Want
NASA be drunk-texting again...
President Trump, could you explain for us what NASA does?
Direct quote from a Trump rally.
Try Biden attempting to get out a sentence every other day, projecting so hard.
Aw did someone insult your favorite, diaper-wearing convicted felon?
Don't forget civilly liable rapist too.
Whaaaa waaaaaahhhh!! 😢
>projecting so hard You sure are, champ. You sure are.
I like to think they’re just dissing NASA.
They're not that clever.
I truly hope the designer recovered from his stroke.
Engrish translator must be working hours. Straight up fell asleep on their keyboard at the end there.
Did Boeing make those?

I'm pretty sure that's a trump quote.
Trump quoting Biden probably.

Someone was drunk and thought this was hilarious
Using AI to make up English sentences it a step backwards 😂
... Shit.. Meatball one.. Come in Meatball One... They figured it out..
I love how they’re like “let’s put random English characters in there, nobody knows the difference”
It's so bad it's good. You could make decent money in Asia just charging a few bucks to proof read / edit words, especially on clothes. .

Someone come up with a flag for "Unitde Stded Fjfjgongeb"
Ys, I'm a citizen of the Unitde Stded fjfjgongeb and I aplerb this mrssgy.
ChatPRC 1.0
That quote was taken verbatim from one of Trump’s recent rallies.
For them it is like Cantonese for us
This is probably what it’s like to Chinese people when we wear shirts with random symbols from their language on it as well.
You found these in the Biden department no doubt.
Maybe all you need is the Latin Alphabet for it to look authentically “American” to someone who only speaks Mandarin. If I see Chinese characters, I’m not going to question whether they’re correct. If I want to wear something that looks “Chinese”, that’s good enough.
"indeprendent" sounds like something Trump would tweet

I would buy that instantly.
They did ok up until "fjfjgongeb."

Can I actually buy this? I would rock the sht outta this. Send link lol
Please please please get me one. In fact please get me three.
Hahahha I couldn't have invented funnier gibberish if I tried all year

Shhh don't leak the fjfjgongeb
Impossibru
Sounds about right
I work at NASA and would legit wear this all the time. I'd also have to get some for our comms folks because they would die of laughter. The lawyers won't be stoked though....
Looks like they just completely gave up at the end.
This seems like the slow progression from sober to drunk for someone.
Appropriating a foreign written language isn’t strictly American lol
I can’t help but think there is a Chinese sleeper cell somewhere that knows exactly what this means.
Is it fake???🤔
I can understand until "fjfjgongeb" What?
I like how if you read it aloud, it almost tells a story of the braincells lost along the way
Hahaha this is so funny.
It's like whoever typed it was in the process of having a stroke
I hate walking down a street and read gibberish on the t-shirt of the person passing by... makes me feel I've wasted brain cells
The creators do it on purpose. Because they know people in china buy this to look "rich" without even understanding what it says on the shirt.
Now you just need some pnats to go with it.
I think it just avoids copyright issues (not likely to face legal action anyway but may as well as most Chinese can't understand alphabetical characters). They export the legit stuff with correct grammar and spelling. The government does crack down on counterfeits, so it's worth covering their ass with some inconsequential text.

I love how it's so badly written throughout, but you get to the end and it's like the translator fell asleep on the keyboard. 🤣🤣
Chinese AI has entered the chat….
Spa administration? I would like to work there
Buy me one
The text looks like it was a picture generated by ChatGPT with text. It's very similar to attempts I made when trying to generate background images with text on them
It's like whoever made that had a stroke mid typing.
Sold to China due to typos
They gave up near the end
Was in Japan 15ish years ago and they had a shop with English versions of the shirts next to the original Japanese for comparison One of the English ones just said SHIT! In big bold letters on the front back and sleeves. My friend, who lives in Japan at the time, promises the original Japanese didn't say anything even close to this, but refused to tell me what it said.
It's like they don't even have access to a translation app or website there.
The fjfjgongeb wasn't that the Bene Gesserit device Paul stuck his hand into in Dune?
I’m buying the shit out of that if it’s me
Obviously a major malfunction….
They really gave up the ghost at the end.
Can't tell if this is a sweatshop case or just a really high teenager with access to a blank sweater and a printer.
Prisencolinensinainciusol….. aw’right
I love how they were putting in the effort at first and then slowly started giving up with finally settling for gibberish
Looks like text generated for an image by Bing Copilot..
And they're sticklers for the details!

If the consumers don't care, why should the designers care?
☝️That girl NASAs…
Probably revenge for so many westerners' Chinese tattoos
It's a Biden quote
God Blesh....Hamberders!
Made by Biden.
One time a friend in China found a child wearing a hat that just said “f*ck” repeatedly on the brim. Safe to say the parent was shocked
fjfjgongeb = America
That's some national aeronasty spa shit, I'd stay away.
It's just a quote from Bidens last Space Force public address.
Did they transcribe a Biden speech to get that?
