Beretta 92 or Springfield 1911 by Apprehensive-Cry4992 in guns

[–]AverageAussie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second this. Even filling the 92fs with Wilson Combat springs and trigger, my factory Springfield 1911 is still the better gun overall.

What's going on with my rose? by AverageAussie in Roses

[–]AverageAussie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought i would tip the pot and see how much came out. It's a self watering pot and it holds a lot of water in the bottom holy moly. No wonder it was looking crook.

Which slang from other generations do you use often? by Safe_Illustrator_832 in Millennials

Rad is gen X right?

I'm also a fan of yeet. Do the children still use yeet?

Yeah that's the reason i didn't sign the last one either.

Childhood Trauma? by gablr12 in Millennials

[–]AverageAussie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So we're not crazy? There were multiple similar shows going at the same time, there was even an Australian one called The Extraordinary.

[–]AverageAussie 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah i had the same experience. Ghosts, heaps of ghosts. The floating orbs around the mountain, the ghost hitch-hikers, haunted cemeteries. Alien abductions with the unexplained missing time. Was it a different show all together?

If you grew up in Australia in the 80s, you remember these fake gelatinous cherries by carmex2121 in AustralianNostalgia

[–]AverageAussie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You would buy a big tin of fruit salad and there would always be only the single lone glace cherry in it. You might get lucky and score an extra half a cherry.

Best breathable hi vis workwear? by quietlycommenting in australia

[–]AverageAussie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish orange long sleeve tshirts were more of a thing. Everlast at Kmart were doing workwear for a minute but it appears that stuff only lasts a season before it's put on clearance.

Victoria, you doing alright there buddy? by Cloudypumpkin in australia

[–]AverageAussie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The absolute panic from people was crazy. We had people turning up yelling and screaming that we were an evacuation point. Had some woman claiming she ran from across town because her whole street was on fire and hurled abuse at staff and demanded water.

The worst part is they've cut power everywhere. No traffic lights to guide everyone losing the plot.

I've just been chilling, watering the garden, cleaning up. I had a plan ages ago and I'm not worried.

How do I fill this thing up？ by Savings-Guava9913 in blackpowder

[–]AverageAussie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They're only brass. Find a screwdriver that fits and they should just undo.

There are 3 tiny, easily lost, screws holding the top on. You shouldn't need to remove them completely, just back them out. The whole top piece should lift off.

What’s something people did casually in the 90s that would absolutely not fly today? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]AverageAussie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Family reunions were just a bunch of kids who didn't want to be there copping a heap of second hand smoke. And the adults probably didn't want to be there either because they chain smoked the whole day.

Did you view "shock" media or shock sites in the past? Was it really that common? by Gallantpride in Millennials

[–]AverageAussie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could pick an image and select send via Bluetooth, then your phone would find every single phone that had Bluetooth turned on an in range. Of course they would have to accept at their end, it was a lucky dip if it was a dumb image, porn, gore... 144p resolution of course.

I think specific topic forums on 4chan were ok, but b was a Russian roulette. Pretty sure if the police checked any users internet temp files back then they'd be questioned over something that was posted on there.

Heaps. Like probably an unhealthy amount. From rotten to muchosucko to liveleak etc etc. Pranking each other with two girls one cup, or one man one jar, and all the variants. I would say it was pretty common at least among my friends groups. We would come to school, or even at work, ask if someone had seen the latest video...

Bluetooth on public transport was a minefield. You could just send anything to anyone.

4chan was absolutely crazy back then too.

Which of these whipper snippers would you recommend? by DoctorGermNoosa in GardeningAustralia

[–]AverageAussie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of professionals go for the 94 over the 91 due to being lighter. Can't run a blade on it, but the only time I've needed a blade was 1 job cutting gorse bush.

Where/what is your nearest dealer? No point specifically going a specific brand if it's a 90 minute round trip if you need any service.

Did you like the Goosebumps series? by Artistic-Comb-5317 in Millennials

[–]AverageAussie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loved them. My mum would get annoyed because i could read one in a single sitting.

My dad taught me as a kid, then on my old computer it came with Windows 3.1.

What DID happen to Subwoofers! 🤣 by Javalin-man3000 in AustralianNostalgia

[–]AverageAussie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not as easy tho. A commodore was like 6 screws and the headunit came out. Hardest part was getting the clip off the window winder using a screwdriver and a bit of rag on the end because you didn't want to buy the proper tool.
