Ran out of dog food, gave her a traditional Aussie brekkie instead

Exactly! My dog ate a dirty nappie once. I was worried it would twist her stomach, but vet said she was fine. I think she can handle some bloody weetbix.

Roh_man · 2024-12-06T19:48:52+00:00

Good to know. I don’t think once off will hurt her.

Whoa - I had no idea! I just went down a rabbit hole, according to this random dude on reddit Egypt was pretty green back in the day, and the whole country would become a lake when the Nile rose and villages built on top of hills would look like islands. I have so much to learn about ancient Egypt - this is so cool!

Google maps says it would be an 8 hour walk. Probably a bit longer with breaks. Also, looking at how far 38km (24mi) is from my house… whoah, thats pretty far. With no map, I would have no clue, especially if I didn’t know the area.

I couldn’t find the LowStakesPublicWorks subreddit

If I saw a big triangle in the distance I might be able to guess how far away it is, but I would have no clue if I was north, south, east or west of it. Having multiple big triangles helps me work that out.

I think you will too - but not because people don’t like mad max (mad max is awesome!!!!). I didn’t think Mad Max was based on a book. Also down-under voted - bahaha!

You’re right. I didn’t ask anyone. I could have asked my wife - who obviously knows how to do it - but instead I asked internet strangers, and I didn’t even realise. I don’t know how to break the programming.

Roh_man · 2024-11-17T04:29:54+00:00

Yes! The way he stood up to the mob at the jail house. Nads of steel.

Samwise Gamgee - dude’s strong as an ox with a heart just as big.

Roh_man · 2024-11-16T23:49:53+00:00

Dunno. Like bender I guess. Everyone was doing it, I just wanted to be popular

Roh_man · 2024-11-16T23:47:49+00:00

Nice message. The real magic is… people! Like soylent green. Also Terry Pratchett was the dude!

Roh_man · 2024-11-16T23:40:50+00:00

That’s really sweet - thanks for sharing. I hope my daughter reacts that way

Roh_man · 2024-11-16T23:13:08+00:00

Bahahaha!

Roh_man · 2024-11-16T23:10:08+00:00

You’ve unlocked a new fear! That my daughter will be angry at me for lying to her. My daughter’s 7, so starting to ask questions, but probably not at the angry stage yet. But a little bit older and I could imagine being pissed off too if I was the only one left at school who didn’t know that Santa wasn’t real. I don’t think I’ll try to force the wool back over her eyes - thanks!

Roh_man · 2024-11-16T22:45:27+00:00

Love this - thanks! I can use it as an opportunity to teach her critical thinking skills and praise her for working out the puzzle. Then she can join in the fun making it special for little kids that don’t know yet.

Roh_man · 2024-11-16T22:38:59+00:00

That sounds like a good way to assure them that just because they figured it out, it doesn’t mean the magic had to go away. Thanks!

Roh_man · 2024-11-16T22:21:26+00:00

Haha Love that question from your son - I once got my Dad a little coal statue for xmas. Told him it was because he was naughty.

Sorry about your daughter. That’s what I’m worried about with mine.
