I read an account by a DPRK defector once. He had been given fingernail clippers that were made in the USA. They were so well made, and cut such neat clean lines that they made him despondent, because he knew the DPRK could never make anything that well.

Wtf they’re nail clippers. If you can manufacture AKs you can manufacture nail clippers. Literally 3 bent and cut bits of polished spring steel, a rivet, and a retaining pin

Nope, in North Korea entire towns share the communal nail clipper or if they dont have that they get the guy with the most teeth to bite them off for them

Funny, I just experienced the inverse of this. Saw a tweet from a Russian about how due to remnant industry from the USSR they can get some specialized machinery for $10 there and it costs $1000 in the US.

They will beleve the most ridiculous nonsense as long as it’s compatible with their unshakable assumptions that [country liberals don’t like] is literally 1984.

This almost feels real. Like maybe a small oversight on production lines due to sanctions and the like.

But now Real Korea has their own “Legos”, so who the fuck cares, really.
