8 is a lucky number in China. 88 is just double that. Fuck nazis. Stop letting them take things that never belonged to them from the rest of the world

There's some truth to this, but I don't want to be the white guy telling the new hire in the US in 2025 "our line length is 88". They probably won't think anything of it, but if they do they probably won't think I'm into Chinese superstition.
