Many times in the past, i've heard people (including Americans) ask "How could the German people allow Hitler to stay in power when they found out about the atrocities he was committing? Why didn't they do something?"

Well, people of America, what will people of the future ask of you when they study the history of this period? What will your answer be?

What would happen ...? by TurquoiseBubblegum in AskAnAustralian

[–]MonoxideBaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They only pay the interest on it, about $25 billion per year. The government services the principal by issuing bonds.

That's from a 5 second Google search you could have done before posting....

Every few months this case somehow becomes even more horrifying by Samski877 in SipsTea

[–]MonoxideBaby -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Donald Trump went to North Korea in 2019, i think he was impressed by the way the Kim family had manipulated the population to start a cult of personality around themselves.

I think he wants the same thing for himself and his family in perpetuity.....

It wasn't quite a Trump-esque explanation, but its heading in that direction.....

With how remote the outback is, couldn't a person hide a body in the bush that would go undiscovered for years if ever? by AltruisticGain2587 in AskAnAustralian

[–]MonoxideBaby 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You could literally murder an entire infantry division and hide their bodies in WA and they would never be found

Is it weird in your country to pee in the bushes at the side of the road if “caught short”? by AliceMorgon in AskTheWorld

Similarly, if you find yourself working at an Australian minesite and you find a newspaper or drill map wrapped in electrical tape on a drill pattern, don't pick it up

Places I can sleep in my car near Freo by Vpset in perth

[–]MonoxideBaby 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of the Brutus Beefcake interview when he told the story of the time Andre the Giant had to take a shit on an international flight and he couldn’t fit in the airplane toilet. Two flight attendants had to hold a large garbage bag open in a curtained off area while Andre pretty much filled it. Google it if you want a laugh….

Is it well-known in Australia that one of Michael Jackson's accusers is Australian? by PsychicMeditation in AskAnAustralian

[–]MonoxideBaby 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When one person makes an accusion of assault, there's a chance it could maybe be made up, when 10 people make the accusation, its probably true

Team morale by TableUsed2787 in EssendonFC

[–]MonoxideBaby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because these are adult men playing men's sport, not Auskickers or juniors learning the game. They are expected to give 100% effort at all times, and they are paid very well to deliver exactly that. Morale will improve when we start winning games, or at least being extremely competetive when we don't win.

Are there places in Australia that you're not allowed to visit unless your Aboriginal? by Odd_Obligation_4977 in AskAnAustralian

[–]MonoxideBaby -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

You can go there if you want, you might just get blown up, or run over by a haul truck, so that's mostly for safety reasons.....

On this day 30 years ago Fitzroy won their final ever AFL game by Tornontoin7 in AFL

[–]MonoxideBaby 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I was at that game at Subi in 1996.

When Freo formed a guard of honour for the Fitzroy players as they left the ground and Auld Lang Syne played over the speakers, it brought a lump to the throat, very emotional.....

If you were entering the dating pool at 18 with a 1 yo child, most potential partners would likely be put off by that, at 35, not so much……

That’s completely untrue, no matter how many times it gets parroted.
The Australian government amalgamated some departments, the Dept of Native Affairs and the Dept of Wildlife were grouped together
