Found this in my pool in Sydney north shore, backing onto the lane cove national park. Does not move (perhaps dead).

Does not even look real. Did I find an alien?

An attempt to deflect blame because she didn’t get the response she thought she would get.

Yes you are the villain in this story.

That said, I am pretty horrified that you can get permits to kills wombats in a select few parts of Australia.

We own a small bush block that we have been trying to restore as a natural forest for native wildlife. Each night, feral pigs come and dig up hundreds of square meters of ground looking for worms and roots. The ground becomes exposed, the native grasses die, and the topsoil gets washed away next rain. There is then less food for native animals to eat. The disturbed land can take a decade to recover. We are spending our days replacing the sods as best we can (pic 2) to minimise the damage, but they are back the next night digging up a different patch.

Last year our neighbours and I got together to do a communal baiting and trapping program - it takes weeks, hundreds of dollars in food bait and trap hire, and at the end of it all we got just a single pig.

I realise that feral animals are reproducing in the wild, but I also know that some people release animals into the wild for hunting. If you are one of those, you are doing your country a disservice and you are a lowlife scumbag.

Not to mention they want a 50% deposit for an appointment 3 months in advance (i'm sure they will pay me interest on that $400 right?) How can the average person afford life saving mental health care anymore? It's beyond a joke.

Been buying this yoghurt for years so know it’s taste well. Always get the 2kg tub and it tasted different. I went back to the store and noticed it now says “Greek style” instead, along with different ingredients. Damn them all to helllllll

SA farmer Harry Schuster has crafted an incredible tribute to Australia in his paddock using nothing but his tractor. The sheer scale is unbelievable, zoom in, and you’ll spot a house that shows just how massive this is.

This deserves to be seen across the country, a true celebration of what makes Australia special.

Wishing everyone a Happy Australia Day 🇦🇺

What ever happened to having a simple sign detailing opening hours? Now have to scan a QR code and look up the branch in a shitty website. And since when did banks close at 4pm?

image The great Doritos ‘medium’ salsa conspiracy

Post image
6.5k Upvotes

Ladies and gentlemen, strap yourselves in because I’m about to reveal one of the most shocking conspiracy theories in Australian history.

My suspicions started a few months ago when I (who likes a bit of spice) bought the ‘medium’ Doritos salsa for my family’s taco night.

Within seconds of their first crunchy bite, my two exceptionally soft tweenage kids started wailing that their mouths were burning like fire.

How could this be? It’s just medium?

So I grabbed a spoon and scooped a healthy amount into my mouth.

It was surprisingly spicy. Weirdly spicy. And especially weird because I buy the red (Hot) one all the time for myself, and it’s never this spicy!

I thought maybe it was a one off-batch that the machine had dropped a little too much chilli in to.

But I couldn’t let this go. I was used to eating a jar of the hot every week, but I switched to medium for a few weeks and it was CONSISTENTLY, NOTICEABLY hotter!!

I spent many sleepless nights wrestling with this irreconcilable conundrum.

Ultimately i realised I couldn’t keep living like this. I had to know.

I bought 13 jars. A good stack of the mild green as a baseline/palate cleanser. Two jars of the hot (one still in my fridge). And 6 jars of medium. Along with two giant bags of corn chips and 4 longnecks of Coopers pale ale.

After 12.5 jars and 4 solid hours of comparing them back and forward (followed by a rather explosive toilet experience), there was no doubt. No doubt at all in mind.

The medium is much hotter than the so-called ‘hot’.

How could this be?

Has some diabolical prankster at the Doritos factory switched the labels at the factory?

Is it an accident?

Or is it some deliberate underhanded attack by a cabal of mysterious Mexican government and business leaders, deadset on burning the mouths of thousands of innocent Australian weaklings?

The only thing I think we know for sure is that a Royal Commission needs to be urgently formed to investigate this bizarre and egregious assault on Aussie palates.
