- Comment on Daylight saving has 80% support in Australia and a majority in every state 7 months ago:
Because while the sun is up it’s extraordinarily hot and the UV is high. The more north you go, the hotter it is in the evenings and the less it makes sense.
- Comment on Daylight saving has 80% support in Australia and a majority in every state 7 months ago:
Exactly. That’s why we’re an early morning city. Once the sun is up it’s too hot to do anything.
- Comment on Hey Aussies. What are we all doing tonight? 7 months ago:
I’m trying to lift my mood with upbeat electronica but it’s not working. Maybe classic rock is the go to. Have a good one anyway 👍

Doing the same! What music you listening to?
- Comment on Coles paper bags have been shrinkflated 8 months ago:
The elastic strap is a good idea. I have a couple of giant daiso bags that fit like 3 supermarket bags in them. Keeps them together and makes it a ton easier to carry instead of trying to loop 6 different bags through your fingers.
- Comment on Coles paper bags have been shrinkflated 8 months ago:
This was click and collect, and brought out in crates, so maybe that’s why.
- Comment on Coles paper bags have been shrinkflated 8 months ago:
Yeah they’ll try and cut costs anywhere I reckon. Won’t be long and they’ll be disintegrating before you get them home!

- Comment on Yes, ‘Australian sushi’ exists. Get over it, argues Adam Liaw 11 months ago:
TIL Australian Sushi is a thing! It never occurred to me that they don’t have the easy to hold rolls in other parts of the world. I think they make up like 10% of my diet haha.

- Comment on Referendum Results, Congratulations, Comiserations 1 year ago:
Yeah I noticed that everyone has jumped on the “Australia is racist” bandwagon. I think there is that element but I’m optimistic that the referendum failed for other reasons and we can all move on.
- Comment on What did you pay for your democracy sausage? 1 year ago:
$2.50. Gluten free bread was 50c extra but I think they forgot to charge us for that.
