The fact that the Poet has hooks at just the right height to hang my crutches on is the most civilised thing

Dropped off a library book at a community centre and I saw a poster for an art workshop that was completely AI generated
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
God that’s fucking depressing.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
You know, I tried for a second to defend it as, you know, devil’s advocate, but I am honestly at an absolute loss. What the actual fuck.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I’d say the poster was done by council staff and not anyone running the workshop. There was a bunch of AI stuff in there

I assume everyone has a variety of nicknames and/or phrases for their pets, so I’d like to hear them lol
For Mickey:
- “who made you so cute/pretty” usually while he’s headbutting my nose.
- “mickstar”
- “stinky puss brain” after he goes loo
- "buttlicker" said like the family guy sketch “butt scratch-ER”
- “how you doin’” this a call and response, he usually responds with “mrr-rah!”
- “monkey/possum/koala” when he gets picked up
- "big puss" this was the name of my first cat who was a year older than me, so it’s a bit of a homage but also bc Mickey is like 7kh of pure feline chaos lol

Alfie became Alfa-reenie, which turned into Reenie.
He also gets “OMG WHY” when he insists on licking my face.
“Whiny bitch” is also a common one.

Mr Woof had a bit of a compulsive face licking problem when I first got him, so I had to advise him quite frequently that “no one likes a dog who can’t hold his licker”. It sunk in eventually, I haven’t had to use that one for years.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I give my little dog a new name every day. Today it’s Princess. If he pees on the carpet it’s Mr Pissy Pants for a week.

Oreo is otherwise known as Little Miss, Shiny Girl and Bowl Cat.
Pepper is Pepperoni, Roni, Little Cat and Spicy Cat. She has her own song about being the spiciest of all the sausage cats.
Foxy is Fluff, Fluffle, Mr Flufalufagus, Ginger Fluff Sponge or the Big Fluff.
Betsy is Betsy boo, Puppy, Puppy Wuppy, Rocket Dog or Miss Barks a lot.
None of them ever get called their proper government names.

For Cerys: Cerycat, ceriad, Hissy Miggins, The Tit Clawing Maniac. Sweetheart (redundant that’s literally just the english translation of her name), Madame Squeaks, Shivertail.

Sam: Sammy, Sammalammadingdong, Sammywimwamwazzle, Little Buddy, Cocksucker
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago

Happy Friday, Yarra & DT!
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I refuse to accept Friday and will continue to live in Thursday evening until I’ve had a chance to go home and get some sleep.
But I do encourage everyone else to have a good Friday and I’ll catch up with you eventually!
Catfish@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Hello GamesDay people. This is your 1 week alert. I have decided against a spit meat mostly for cat wrangling reasons. Alternative attraction is a giant tiki mix. Pineapple juice will be a starter, bring whatever 😺
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
RSVP my apologies, I was keen but have other obligations. I’ll make it one day.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I can’t make it, I volunteered to be Boyo’s taxi before I realised the date 😭 Definitely my turn though, lol.
Catfish@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Poo. Well your shiny pig is around when remote is possible.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I thought it was tm lol. 20th yea?
Gives me a chance to finally find some nice bottles for the hot sauce to give out.
Catfish@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Yes 20th. Kinda for Solstice. Hot sauce very welcome!
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
TIL there’s shampoos you can use to slightly colour hair instead of completely dying your hair to get rid of greys.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
scared 🫥
but will look into it .😢
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I was assured by YL it’ll look perf. Will report back later.
Catfish@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I have some Directions in Ebony to give away if that happens to be a relevant colour. The stuff is 3/4 conditioner in the first place.
Catfish@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Yes. Or if you get the right sort of dye (not the boxes) you can add a tint to whatever shampoo you prefer.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Oooo. TIL another thing.

Day 6:
I have 3 remote meetings today, one of which is a “progress review”. I’ve requested that meeting be pushed back to Monday.
I’m curious to see how this goes.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I mean its the most basic of requests! If it goes badly that’s a massive red flag
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
It’s all good!
Faith restored :)

Watch The Martian with Boyo. 4/5 Hobbits. Loved it, but so many “BUT WHY” moments. I get the feeling that I should have hated Teddy, but I didn’t, some dickish dialogue aside.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Someone stole my beach shoes off my front porch
they were pretty caked up with sand but otherwise nearly new
they were just cheap kmart shoes
but, 😐
I hope they needed them

Welcome to the “but why did you take THAT” club
For me it was my doormat
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Well, I made it in today
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago

I had a good sleep thanks to cough medicine and less antihistamine in my system making me wired, I think I will halve my evening dose
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Since the kids aren’t even dressed I think today will be a work from home day
StudChud@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Partner is playing Dishonored, and I am reminded of how I completed the game without killing anyone, circa 2015/16.
Although I may have forgotten a lot of the intricacies of the game, it remains one of my proudest gaming achievements.
Taleya@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
hmmmmm. My lovely new door latching magnet came today and it is STRONG - 34kg pull force, although it will be pushing. So much so my concerns are now about the strike pulling out of the screen door over time. Am I overthinking it, or a hollow anchor?

Someone on the Woolworths reddit sub posted this pic, I thought it was too good not to share. Wonder if chef has any good butt hole recipes?
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Hannibal might!
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I’m glad it’s fresh.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
mmm, cream of butt hole soup with fresh black pepper 😋
