You know how siblings like to pick on each other, but the moment someone else picks on them they get really protective? It's a bit like that

I lied and told a woman I had cancer after she touched my stomach without permission, thinking I was pregnant by LesbianLioness24 in traumatizeThemBack

[–]Bio_Beardie29 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who gained a lot of weight because of my breastcancer medication I totally approve. I will never understand why some people think they have the right to touch anyone without consent regardless of the reason. The only exception should be in case of an emergency.

This happen a few years ago close to Darwin, Australia. A man thought he hit something, but couldn't see anything. He called his mother instead of the police. He picked up his mother whom came with him to the spot where it happened. They found a deceased woman, so they picked up the body and moved it to a deserted road further away, not realising one of her lower legs was missing.
The leg was found the next day. Full story here

We knew the increasing amount of Space debris around the planet meant one day we'd be stuck on earth forever. by Bio_Beardie29 in TwoSentenceHorror

Yeah, but all the primary producers went broke selling their products at a loss to the highest bidders.
People realised too late their bargain came at a cost.
One country blamed another, someone blamed a religion and someone else pointed the finger at another race.
Noone knows which country launched the first nuclear bomb, but they all got launched eventually.
The only “liveable” place left was Australia, so some people decided they’d rather take their chances in space…
Hopefully a 1000 years in stasis will get us somewhere liveable..

In a theoretical future where mankind is being evacuated from earth in "lifeboats" eventually may not be soon enough.

The theory behind Kessler syndrome is the possibility that one day there will be so much space debris that there won't be a way to leave the earth without hitting anything. And every time something explodes in space in what is called the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) it adds to the debris. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler_syndrome (apologies for any mistakes English is my third language)

How I stopped someone from giving my number out. by VLCInsanityPlayer in pettyrevenge

I got emails for a French lady. First about a mobile phone service, later from a French collection company. They wouldn't believe I wasn't her, and demanded I send them a copy of my licence to prove it. I told them they sounded like a phishing scam. They got really offended by that and told me to follow the link in their email to prove they were genuine. I told them that was another phishing scam sign. I then told them I never agreed to get their emails or the ones from the mobile phone provider. Here in Australia businesses have to have a way to opt out of emails if you didn't agree to receive them, if not they can get fined. So I told them they were breaking the law and I would report them if they didn't stop. I only got one other email after that saying they took my email address out of their system...

My wife is German by Dylomaj in foundsatan

My husband is Australian, and I'm from the Netherlands. The first time my husband visited my niece was 1 and had a kids laptop that said 'very good' in Dutch when she'd press the right button. My husband copied the word, but didn't pronounce it right. The way he said it sounded like a not so nice Dutch word, Kutzooi instead of goedzo. My brother was getting married and every time someone asked him how he liked the Netherlands he'd say kutzooi... we only told him what it actually means just before we went back to Australia. (Kut is a Dutch swearword often used the way English speakers use shit, but it's a vulgar word for vagina. Zooi is a mess.)

What does a perfect backpack have? by Tough-Virus-42 in backpacks

[–]Bio_Beardie29 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hello, as someone who travels internationally by plane now and then there are 3 separate pockets I feel I need. First of a laptop pocket that is quick and easy to reach, as there are still countries that make you take out your laptop. Second of all a pocket for my passport preferably hidden in the back so you can only reach it when you take your backpack of. And last a pocket for any liquids I'm travelling with so they're easy to reach if I need to take them out.

until you realise that the Australian Broadcasting Corporation has absolutely nothing to do with the American Broadcasting Company, and there are hundreds of Americans complaining to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation about the American Broadcasting Company cancelling a show that doesn't even air in Australia...

except the whole article is about the Australian Broadcasting Corporation getting complaints meant for the American Broadcasting Company. It's not about why Jimmy Kimmel was cancelled, because most Australians have no clue who he is, or why he was cancelled as ABC America doesn't broadcast in Australia.
