• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Satire] Australia to recognise existence of country that's being destroyed by weapons made with parts Australia supplies⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  So after Britain gave Palestine (which belonged to the Ottoman Empire, not Britain) to the Zionists to make modern Israel, other countries are now recognising that the original owners of the land are legitimate. Why not de-recognise Israel? (or is that anti-Semitic and forbidden?)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I wanted to bury a hard drive for archival purposes (e.g. Country becoming Dictatorship), how to keep the contents from being damaged and where is the safest place to bury it?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So much data has already been lost due to bitrot caused by magnetic loss and plastic breakdown. Most consumer grade storage will break down and start to lose data within a decade. Even if the data survives, will the operating system and software be available in the future to read the media? Surprisingly, the best way to preserve data long term is to print it on paper. Or write it to a gold record and send it into space.

  How often do most people use § and ½ !? Is a dedicated key really necessary?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would happen to the US if it denaturalised and deported all non-whites?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, actually:

  1. Where would they deport First Nations people?
  2. There were American people before the Mayflower arrived — why wouldn’t everyone who immigrated since that time be deported?

  It’s the middle of winter, haven’t seen one for a few months, but they’re common in summer.

  Australia here. Not summer yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do Australians in the northern hemisphere celebrate Christmas in July to have a Christmas that reminds them of home?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As an Australian, I’m only familiar with customs in Australia. Do they celebrate Christmas in July in Lesotho, Madagascar, or Argentina?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do Australians in the northern hemisphere celebrate Christmas in July to have a Christmas that reminds them of home?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In Australia, some people of European and/or North American backgrounds celebrate Christmas in July so that they can have Christmas when it’s cold and miserable, just like where they came from. I was wondering if people with Australian backgrounds do the opposite so that they can have a proper hot Christmas like they’re used to having at home.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t need an alibi. You don’t need to provide evidence. You are presumed innocent. The cops need to prove you guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

  Unless you’re in the US, then you’re fucked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is there such a negative connotation with the poos of horses, bulls, and bats?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Bat poop is associated with COVID-19, Ebola, and Marburg viruses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“Production” to describe multiplication?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  More than forty years ago, “product” was used at school to mean multiplication. ie, “What is the product of 35 and 41?”

  Maybe education systems in different countries used different terms over the years?

  If they make you take a polygraph test, insist on a tarot reading and a full personal horoscope as well. Between the three of them, there’s no way that they can’t find the truth!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have there been any major changes noticed in countries that have recently split?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My parents emigrated in the late 1950s. After the Berlin Wall came down, they returned to Germany as tourists and noticed that former East Germans spoke a noticeably different dialect to West Germans, my father said it was similar to the difference between British English and North American English, but the change had come in only about 30 years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  People are lazy, they get so many emails each day, they couldn’t be bothered reading messages properly. I have turned into a cynical annoying person and write emails with large clear action points like this:

  ---

  Hi, I have some comments and questions.

  Please answer 2 (two) questions so that I can proceed with my part of this work. Without an answer to both, no more work will be done and the project will be on hold.

  Consequatur doloribus eaque ut quia veniam est ut. Vitae assumenda sed quisquam omnis dolores nesciunt fuga. Autem non sint minus sed quia. Aspernatur tenetur quis nostrum repellendus nostrum est qui. Sint aliquid est distinctio laudantium.

  1. Yes or no- Does this mean that the flibbertygibbet must be completed first?

  Reiciendis quia qui quia quo hic commodi molestiae vel. Ipsam ut quia et voluptates quaerat voluptatibus neque recusandae. Et fuga necessitatibus rerum debitis. Repellat facilis possimus ab sed eos doloremque. Ut rerum aut corporis. Cum voluptatem praesentium error.

  2. You need to provide further information on the doohickey because there is not enough detail for me to be able to goober the whatchamacallit

  ---

  And then keep forwarding the original email every day until I get the required information. When the boss asks why no progress has been made, I can show him the email trail asking for information.

  Cover your ass, keep adding the same questions until you get an answer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are any calls without caller ID legit?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Government departments, hospital, many companies regularly call me with “No Caller ID” and then seem surprised when I don’t answer.

  If it’s urgent, they will should leave a message (instead they keep calling and complain that “it’s hard to get hold of me”).

  I actually just got a new phone number because I was receiving literally hundreds of spam calls, text messages, and voicemail messages on a foreign language, every week. I have “Silence unknown callers” switched on. Only my contacts can get through. If anyone else doesn’t leave a voicemail, send a text message, or email me, then it’s not urgent and I won’t even try to follow up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What kind of CAPTCHA is this?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is not a captcha, it’s a trick. Don’t do it.

  They copy malware into your clipboard and try to trick you into pasting that malware into an environment that will run it.

  Delete/ignore and move along.

  In this specific case, pharmacy or doctor. In the case of surgery, ask about social assistance at your hospital.

  Never heard of a whisper, but never heard of a lot ofthese either (some sound made up by five-year-olds).
