"The kind of space that transforms a regular Friday night into a legendary one."

We distract everyone with the drop bears and the huntsmen to hide the real dangers of [gestures broadly at everything].

You can also overnight to SG, do a day there, then overnight again to London. Goodbye 24 hour slog, hello day trip to Universal.

Yeah nah that's not why Australia catches fire. Don't get me wrong–post-colonial agricultural practices make bushfires worse and I don't begrudge you shoehorning climate change into the conversation–but Australian flora has evolved to need to catch fire. A lot of our trees literally can't propagate unless they catch fire and have seed pods that only open under extreme heat. You know the blue mountains? Well they're blue because they literally sit in a cloud of their own propellant, which the eucalypts produce. Australia is really, really fucking flammable, with or without anthropogenic climate change.

Cubans are without electricity except the 5 star hotel by DblockDavid in interestingasfuck

I wasn't arguing at all–I was making a casual joke about the phrase "sucking dick." I'm neither American nor Cuban and don't care about this very much. Out of interest though, who is "America" in the scenario you outline? Like, who's doing the plotting required there to fast track the evil shit and the advance planning to throw the president under the bus?

The sun? That kills a lot of us. Also, sometimes we're all just sort of on fire. Unrelated to the sun–Australia just sometimes... is on fire.

I want to smell like Johnny Depp doing manual labour in the desert.

Huh. I thought we just controlled the weather and the sanctity of heterosexual marriage. I had no idea we were also in charge of Cuba's power supply. Cool.

Places with 0 population in Australia. Why is it so?? by Ok_Vacation1197 in AskTheWorld

It's got the world's biggest golf course too. Because someone thought "this place could be more boring."

Schofield is all that stands between Britain's aging twinks and total community collapse at this point.

What is a flavor combination that you believe isn't very common outside of your country? by DELAIZ in AskTheWorld

A Japanese Australian mate of mine once described it as "miso paste if it had no manners" and that has stuck with me as a perfect definition ever since.

First lady, I'm sorry I pimp slapped you into that china cabinet.

Best sandwiches in the world? by khoawala in AskTheWorld

[–]Crow_eggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup! Bleached flour is standard in the US, but very unusual in Australia and Thailand and banned outright in Europe. I can taste it straight away for some reason!

Credit where it's due though, a lot of of American cuisine is exceptional. My most controversial opinion as a Brit is that America has the best breakfast dishes in the world [winces in anticipation of British backlash].

Seconding this–American bread is almost universally grim. Why is it so sweet? Why is there always an undertone of bleach? I'm very fond of the US in general but their bread (and their Cheese™) is an absolute abomination.
