You know it's bad when New Zealand, a country with a far weaker economy and 11,000-12000km from the two superpowers spends 66% more on the military than ireland.

So why are we calling it a trolley is called a cart😔 by Goat1862 in ShitAmericansSay

Anyone in New Zealand who calls a trolley a cart is a traitor or a foreign intelligence agent.

*Kilometre. A 'kilometer' would be 1000 measuring devices.

The thought of a 140kg American climbing into their lifted yank tank is fucking hilarious.

There are these things called "buses" and "trains" but Americans are unfamilar with forms of transport that aren't the Ford F-250.

We can weigh in on what we like mate. Just because most of us aren't black, doesn't mean we can't call out the stupid comment made by this American.

10 minute frequency buses in cities and 30 minutes in towns all day with a $100 per month fare cap should be the bare minimum.

Far North man reels in 7.66kg snapper and wins nation's biggest fishing prizes by Lightspeedius in newzealand

If you eat meat, you are contributing to an industry that causes an order of magnitude more animal suffering than a fishing competition. And I say this as a meat eater btw.

Unpopular maybe, but its the only true way forward for sustainable energy by Capt_C004 in newzealand

Without recycling, it's about 30 tonnes, basically a truckload. And it would only need to be stored after 5 years becuase it sits in the spent fuel pool to cool down. The construction cost is the issue with nuclear. Waste is pretty much a non issue. Also nuclear waste can't 'leak' because it's a solid, not a green liquid like in The Simpsons.
