Tips

register
Internet slang from the 2010s, abbreviation of 贫穷限制想象力 (pínqióng xiànzhì le wǒ de xiǎngxiànglì). Used wryly, almost always with self-mocking humor when reacting to extreme wealth.
culture
Often dropped into comments under posts about luxury goods, celebrity homes, or wealthy livestreamers. Equivalent in tone to English 'how the other half lives' — surprised and a bit amused, not bitter.
