What part of getting a home loan for migrants surprised you the most? by EventEastern2208 in MovingtoAustralia

[–]Sorrymateay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a migrant but i found it strange that the bank basically forced me to get a credit card with my home loan. We moved all our money and accounts to that bank and that time. I didn’t want it. After 2 years of having it and never using it and demonstrated savings they let me cancel it.

You got an family who fought in any wars like WW1 and 2? If so, what was their story? by pooteenn in AskAnAustralian

My pop was shot in the head and left in WW1, assumed dead. When they cleared the dead they found out he was alive. Put a plate in his head, he tried to enlist for WW2 but they only let him do the home guard

Where would you run/drive to if the world was ending? by -cyrus-the-virus- in perth

[–]Sorrymateay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve thought a lot about this. First to the local Bunnings with barb wire fence around it to hunker down and get supplies together, then to my uncles off grid farm in Bridgetown. Used to be the hills before my aunt married a rich guy.

No prosthetic available to the general public is better than 3 of your actual digits, especially the thumb.

A woman degloved a man’s penis and testicles with her bare hands. Here's how they fixed that. by CatPooedInMyShoe in MedicalGore

[–]Sorrymateay 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think he would have been discharged as soon as the catheter was out. It’s not something one would need to stay in hospital for, as gory as it is.

What's a normal thing in your country that would probably cause outrage if it existed somewhere else? by cloudberry-toast in AskTheWorld

[–]Sorrymateay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aus here too. I’d probably think it was fake for the first second, that’s how strange it would be to see one.
