I read this some where: “The U.S. health system works exactly as intended. …Oh sorry, did you think it was intended for the benefit of the patient? You’re mistaken.”

There’s a situation in Sydney where a publicly state owned golf course in being reduced from 18 to 9 holes to make room for parks and other public land. To which I say: let’s go! Can we please do this with all publicly owned golf courses. This is truly a day of celebration for all non-golfers.

No one in Trump’s cabinet should even be allowed to run a brothel.

To all who complain about overpopulation, I tell you, overpopulation has never been an issue. The issue is unsustainable practices that continue to make our planet unliveable.

One day I was thinking: “since when did every conservative pundit become a Russian hack” Then I thought: “since Russia started paying them”

In my coding experience there appears to be a smorgasbord of learning material when you’re first learning a language but a drought of material when you’re an intermediate to advanced. Do they think once you learn a nested loop you’ve learnt coding and are set for life?

Why do all free-to-play games devolve into being repetitive grind fests?

We all like to act like we’re better than this social media bs, but then someone unfollows you and it hurts

Ever have a company do something so stupid you wonder how this wasn’t market tested out of existence? For me, this is water parks and concrete paths on sunny days. My feet are still blistering. Most importantly, why do all water parks still have them? This should have been cut decades ago.

As of 2024 giraffes are now an endangered species. This is an international tragedy.

Don’t you hate it when you go to a different area and find out that local business you liked is actually a chain

The growth of Bluesky could be fuelled by dead-internet theory. In fact, that’s not even a random thought, to some extent that’s probably true. It’s just a matter of to which extent.

If the cops go on strike does the purge then commence?

Hear me out… we make a new game called American Political Campaign Simulator. The better the campaign the less votes you get, meanwhile some user who has spent the whole time dancing to Ave Maria and complimenting schlongs gets a record high score.

Anyone so bad at physical things (uncoordinated, slow reaction time etc), that when you find out you’re good at something you question if the laws of physics are still in effect?

Ever wonder why every country town in Australia has a meat pie shop? First of all why are they all selling the same thing, and why do they all have the same consistency? Is there a secret meat pie racket going on? Second do other countries have an equivalent of that? Like maybe croissant shops in 🇫🇷?

After pondering why this site is so pleasant to scroll, I finally figured out why: No ads.

Do you ever wonder how much of a miracle it was that Australia just happened to have bountiful natural resources, unbeknownst to the British who colonised it. Because if we didn’t… then we’d just be New Zealand.

Do animals in slaughterhouses ever go “oh fuck” and realise where they are?

#science The acid in your stomach is strong enough to melt metal, but your stomach lining regenerates so fast it survives. So hypothetically, if you’re in prison smuggling razor blades between your gums but accidentally swallow some… don’t stress.

#science Human saliva contains a mild painkiller stronger than morphine. So if you ever run out of your supply and are frantically searching through the back of the cupboard to get high on something, you can technically just use what’s on you.

You know the scrotum absorbs the liquid the best out of all the parts of the skin. So technically you could get crazy drunk by dipping ur balls in alcohol.

“Ogres have layers”. “Onions have layers”. You know what else has layers? Every call centre process 😭.

With the release of ‘Wicked’ Ariana Grande had an Ariana 15000 grand (pay) day.

Now that ‘Wicked’ opened in the box office with flying colours can we bring back the 80’s slang “wicked”

Imagine if political debates were done in a Jubilee video

Imagine if world leaders hosted their own podcasts

My X notifications. Every so often I remember through first principles why I don’t click on the app.

Retail story: A customer wanted to buy something without the box. I was like “just buy the thing with the box and yeet the box into the trash”. But for some reason they didn’t want to do that and just didn’t buy it 🤷‍♂️:

Anyone notice how political explainer videos on YouTube have gone from highly optimistic things like “how we can fix the U.S. health system” and “how we can solve climate change” to “let’s just not become authoritarian plz”

You know what the world needs? A new intellectual property. Star Wars, Marvel, and Disney remakes have gotten us far enough as a society, but it’s time for something new that can inspire a sense of awe rather than ‘ahhh another one’.

One mental health lesson the U.S. election taught me is that your concerns are valid. Before I’d be ashamed to share my genuine concerns. But now I know that if half the country could elect a dictator due to a bit of inflation, then I should be allowed to express my doubts about anything.

One line of Not Like Us that didn’t land for me is “freaky ass n- he a 69 god”. That just shows Drake is reciprocal, and that ain’t a bad thing innit? The rest of the song slapped tho.

Investing story: I sold my Qantas shares (ASX:QAN) at $6.80. Currently they’re at $8.94. Every now and again I remind myself through first principles why I don’t bother selling shares.

Another retail story: One time a drug addict pissed in the children’s clothing section of the store. That’s the story. It ain’t much but I’m still butt-hurt I had to clean it up.

I work in retail, and I love the questions I’m asked by first-gen immigrant Asian customers. Sometimes instead of being asked the price, I’m asked “where was this made?” Then I’m like “China”. Their eyes light up and respond “oh so this must be cheap”.

Fun fact. The average file size of a Tik Tok video is just over 13 MB. The average size of an NES game is 384 kB. This means every Tik Tok video you consume holds more than 40 times the data of a basic NES game.

#australia #sydney Two questions: 1) Are the any good Australian or Sydney-related feeds? 2) What nightclubs to you recommend in Syd?

The cybertruck is to our era what Medusa was to ancient Greeks, all who look upon it are stricken mute as stone with the horror of what their eyes just witnessed.Should have named it Gorgon
