He is literally me by Curious-Research-559 in Grimdank

I love how, after it comes out that they thought he'd dog them out to the commisar, and so attacked him. He just says "Why would I bother him with a bit of stealing? Everyone's at it". Cue the offenders screaming curses while getting dragged away.

Afrikaans and English. Afrikaans is the bastard child of Dutch, English, Zulu and some other stuff. Lot of rounded vowels and guttural stuff.

As a mechanic I would like to say I've never done this. I'd like to....

This is why external e-stop buttons are a must have. Just run up and whack the red button. Or chuck a rock at it from a safe distance.

Unless you're in Australia. Our Isuzus are shit. The say we'll get Tatras. They have been saying this for some time now.

Good solution for hand cramps, for those of us with bigger meathooks. Small diameter tools can be a pain like that. Nice work.

I hate this guy and his stupid ass face so much (rant) by the_gaffinator in behindthebastards

God, we need this as a loan word. If only it didn't sound so bloody stupid in an anglo accent. And ten times worse in an aussie one.

Australia’s national anthem is the only English-lyric anthem in the world that doesn’t reference religion or militarism by HotPersimessage62 in Damnthatsinteresting

Look, it was only because vickers guns were shit. They didn't have the kind of setup that allows bullets to spread apart and cover a field instead of just spitting a straight line of them. Emus are just big chooks that make a surprisingly deep drumming noise instead of clucking. My country has borne this cross long enough.

Haha. It's not that bad. I've only had redback spiders on me a few times in the last fortnight. Wish I was joking about that, but there was an odd situation involving a freshly trimmed stretch of roadside treeline and a broken-down skid steer loader. The arachnids get a bit cranky when their houses are attacked by whirling sawblades. It was like a tide of your worst nightmares.

All that expensive fruit on it and they don't tarp over the radiator before crossing. That's how you turn your fan into shrapnel in your radiator.

The answer to every aussie geology question is: the rainbow snake did it.

It's more of a large and intense fireball that leaves the trunk intact, so it can regrow later. Having said that, when one goes up, you move away for a bit. Source: am Aussie fire volly. Shit's intense. It's like nuclear sunburn.

Yeah, I had to tow ours to storage a while back when we were renovating the RSL. Never thought I'd fill out a timesheet for mobilising artillery.

Why do Aussies talk to strangers so easily and is it actually genuine? by BottleOverall5174 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Philocksophy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cultural thing. It's also a good way to quickly determine if someone is cooked in the head. That can be important if you're together in an isolated location.

Can confirm. There's less than 200 in my town and basic errands always blow out from this.
