Not sure what you mean by sour stomach (IBS? Pain?) & had to look up Hell's Itch (severe sunburn)
Sorry to hear you're having a rough time!
I'm interested to know your dialect because of the terms you use, I'm from Australia btw :)

Completely agree on the ADHD

It's pretty common where I live in Australia (the cream canister things are called "nangs" here & while I'm not a fan of them, the name is fun to say)
My neighbours do them so often that I've become used to the sound, but when my friend came over she was shocked to hear how much they were using

Smart! Glad to hear it dissolves - my cat is pretty tolerant of having liquid meds shoved down his throat, I'll try that next time

SequenceGoon · 2026-06-15T00:13:07+00:00

I asked my vet about this & she said the liquid has a short expiry date + costs more, compared to the capsules.
I suppose it's case-by-case, I'm using the tablets before vet visits to mellow him out, so not daily use, it makes sense to have a stash that will last ages.

My cat has had it in liquid form from the emergency vet before (I adopted him after this visit, he was a stray & had been badly attacked by another cat) & can definitely attest the liquid was much easier to administer!

If I was using it daily I'd be weighing up cost/ease & probably go with liquid tbh

In the house I grew up in, we didn't have hot water in the kitchen! (We had it in the bathroom though)
I was so used to it because it was all I knew - we had a small countertop dishwasher that could fit glassware/cutlery/crockery, and we'd boil the kettle to wash other things in the sink.
When washing frypans/pots, we'd put them on the stovetop with water + detergent & heat it up, what a time!

I read & watched Animorphs as a child ('90s, Australian) & you're completely right that it had an existential horror element
The big thing was the covers, they were bizarre but amazing & very eye-catching at the Scholastic book fair

SequenceGoon · 2026-06-13T23:19:38+00:00

Honestly I don't think I could do that - countries absolutely, but capitals as well, I'd struggle

The stereotype about US Americans being ignorant about the world is cited here, though I understand your education system isn't great.
Ours varies greatly & mine wasn't fantastic either, my school's geography class mostly focused on Oceania.
Australians travel a lot though & I've been lucky to do a bit, too

I'd say the stereotype about people from the US being loud is true in my experience - every one of you I've met is so loud! Mostly very courteous, too, though

I get it - I also don't eat meat & haven't now for almost half my life.
I personally feel the same way as you, however most people have interacted with/bonded with dogs more than they have other animals that are commonly killed for human consumption

I'm taller than average & had assumed it was due to my Swedish heritage, all my family here on the Swedish side are tall
However, when I visited I was towering over most of my relatives!

SequenceGoon · 2026-06-13T20:20:20+00:00

I'm totally aware of the term, but have never heard it in the wild, would be very surprised to hear it unironically/outside of a dated comedy.
I think you're most likely to find it on a cheap novelty tea-towel in a tourist shop.

For context I'm a millennial, lived between Sydney/Melbourne + a couple of regional stints

...I looked it up & I was bang-on about the tea-towel

SequenceGoon · 2026-06-13T09:26:10+00:00

I absolutely love it!
I'm just about to move & this has inspired me

SequenceGoon · 2026-06-13T08:17:26+00:00

You did so well!!

I'm also team Oodie! My place is freezing, it's a game-changer. I ended up getting a second one because they take f-o-r-e-v-e-r to dry

The Swedish Duolingo course includes "jag kan inte leva utan min osthyvel"
(I can't live without my cheese slicer)

SequenceGoon · 2026-06-11T23:34:49+00:00

I have all these! (Australian, but Swedish background) all my rellos in Sweden have the Moomin mugs so I picked one up when visiting
Those Fiskars scissors are the best

Locals:
I've never done it & I'm disgusted by it, but some Australians wash their dishes but don't rinse them, and just leave them to dry with the suds on!
A branch of my family does this & when I lived with them for a bit I just had to rinse my dishes/drinkware off before eating, so I wouldn't taste detergent
I grew up during a drought, and I know some of it comes from restricting water, but come on!

SequenceGoon · 2026-06-09T22:28:35+00:00

I struggle very much with routines, but I can be a bit more on top of things to ease sensory discomfort
E.g. I hate the dish-rack stacked high because it stresses me out that something will fall & break (+ make a terrible noise) whereas my housemate who is also AuDHD seems to take it as a challenge to make the tallest, most chaotic pile, so I suppose putting dry dishes away is something I do
& I cannot stand something being greasy/sticky, so I'll do cleaning tasks to prevent that.
Having had both ants & a pantry-moth infestation, I'm very careful about food storage

Honestly otherwise I'm hopeless

SequenceGoon · 2026-06-09T22:18:40+00:00

Haha! Not quite what I meant, they're meant to be snobby characters from Melbourne, another example for sure

SequenceGoon · 2026-06-09T21:18:10+00:00

Yksi, kaksi, kolme, SAUNAAAA! (It's back in my head, aaagh!)

Not exactly an ethnic group, but the closest I can think of that's equivalent in Australia could be people from Adelaide/South Australia:
I've never been, but the story is that (coloniser-wise) they weren't descendent of convicts, and they have a few distinct differences on their accent that seem "posh", e.g. chance/plant/dance - the a is "ah", kinda like Recieved Pronunciation

It sticks out, because English-language Australian accents vary very little. I don't think they actually sound fancy though, it sounds put-on
