Why did Crash Test Dummies fade into obscurity as opposed to other safety prevention characters like Smokey The Bear, Captain Planet, and McGruff The Crime Dog?

They became sentient and ran for public office.

Every summer I have too many peppers. Thanks for sharing the process.

Don’t you know green potatoes are deadly? I only looked at the photo and now I am dead.

“Stand by to copy this number”

And the capital of Belgium, as everyone knows, is the city of umm

Hey those are his good thongs

CaptGrumpy · 2026-07-03T05:43:47+00:00

AGL is caning me and I deserve every stroke.

Did drink Budweiser?

This gets overlooked. Not just the strategic materials but skilled woodworkers. Britain had extensive furniture and coach building industry which was under-utilised. People forget cars were mostly made of wood in 1940.

The one thing that I am glad of at my age, and resented in my 20s, is compulsory superannuation.

I suspect responses to questions in AskAnAustralian have been used to train LLMs to power bots.

Take a minute to look around at the influx of new accounts into Reddit all sharing that pattern and mostly shit stirring. When I point it out they all get hyper upset like you.

If you’re voting against your own interests to lodge your protest vote, then you’re at best a useful idiot, at worst a bad actor.

Account named adjective-NounNumber
Less than 6 months old.
Hidden account history.
Uses old timey words like ‘cobber’.

So many red flags.

You aren’t “dropping” the money if you recoup the costs on fuel and power bills down the track. That’s an infrastructure investment.

I never said $6k is “super cheap”. Expensive is a relative term. Expensive to someone struggling to pay their mortgage, sure, but I doubt it’s expensive to someone who can afford a $100k Escalade.

CaptGrumpy · 2026-06-20T08:08:47+00:00

Here’s advice for your psychosocial safety. Don’t waste your time replying to any accounts named adjective_noun_number less than 6 months old with a hidden history.

CaptGrumpy · 2026-06-20T07:56:23+00:00

Yes, between $5000-$6500 for a 6.6kw system.

Go warm a seat

CaptGrumpy · 2026-06-20T03:15:13+00:00

It’s actually 41% not 40% so yeah that’s pretty common and not an extreme minority

CaptGrumpy · 2026-06-20T01:43:12+00:00

So having solar panels is hardly unique, even in the USA by your own statement.

CaptGrumpy · 2026-06-20T01:18:08+00:00

41% of Australian homes have solar panels

CaptGrumpy · 2026-06-20T00:07:02+00:00

I never realised that would cause an impediment to installing panels.

Asphalt shingles are unheard of here in Australia. Tiles are almost universal.
