My understanding is Fuzhounese is also very common to be heard in Chinese restaurants. Fujian cuisine is one of the more commonly exported forms of Chinese cuisine.

But let's face it a P.H.D. Quantum mechanics is probably easier than understanding the regional languages and dialects of spoken Chinese.

I can usually tell Cantonese apart but you really have to be exposed to the sounds as a kid. I don't know any of it, though, I can only figure out the language being spoken and there's no way I'd know every dialect, haha.

You have me beat the best I have is knowing it is some form of Chinese. They only way I know it mandarin is if I catch some one saying "nว hวŽo"

Can you order my food for me in quantum mechanics?

[โ€“] Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Sure quantum entanglement should allow for instantaneous ordering and instantaneous delivery.

But what if I can't decide what I want instantaneously?

It is always the human factor screwing things up.
