Weather Channel thought I was in China?

So I was on the weather channel site checking the local weather. I had it on Cleveland but noticed the tab was showing Chinese letters. I was like, the heck going on here?

So I went to the page source and copied the text and ran in through a translator and it was saying "10-day weather forecast for Zigong City, Sichuan Province".

You can see the tab here:

I am sure it is just a hiccup somewhere on the site but it is weird that it was pulling a Chinese location. Like I would have expected it to just be somewhere else in the US.
With all this stuff with China data farming us and whatnot... I don't know Rick. Seems pretty strange to me...

:haha:
 
Running a VPN, maybe? Running a few Tor nodes? Could also just totally be a random hiccup.

...or...

Beerus is a Chinese Agent, conformed!

I mean I had a lot of anti-tracking stuff going so it likely just glitched something on the site. Like my computer's location wasn't the same as my actual location. I don't run a VPN standard but I do have it where my device gets changed all the time so no one knows what I own.

Yeah, makes sense. I've got a lot of similar programs/extensions/etc, as well, so understandable.


Could be...it could be...
