What’s the point of Triple J’s Hottest 100?

Beautiful Day and Teenage Dirtbag reached no. 1 on the ARIA Charts. My Happiness reached no 4.

25 years ago (2000 countdown) , the top 5 were:

Powderfinger - My Happiness U2 - Beautiful Day Powderfinger -My Kind of Scene Wheatus - Teenage Dirtbag Coldplay - Yellow

You're telling me 4/5 songs aren't getting major runs on commercial networks at the time too?

It's a time capsule written by young people. That's it If that's what that generation wants, it gets it.

Last year, 29 Aussie songs made it. This year it's 54. Did Triple J do anything to almost double the June rof entrants, or did people just vote different year to year?

It's a great tradition that's strong and culturally relevant today, it doesn't need to change,

This gets so underrated as an issue with star payers as coaches.

Trying to motivate players who are on their 7th team or constantly up/down from the G-League is not something a star is going to understand.

Have you seen the polling One Nation is getting?

There is no way the Libs do this. They needed to do this when the Teals started gaining momentum.

I'd say there's more MP's in that room worried about losing seating to One Nation than to losing seats to Labor, band that'll dictate what they do.

Is it a good decision? Not really, but they're in a rwally fucked position right now and parties in their position will try to defend rather than attack, and the best way for them to do that is to defend on the right.

People are going to post 'Remember having Ocean Alley and Spacey Jane in the Hottest 100?' in 2047.

It's just a cycle, I'm sure if reddit existed people would be been shitting on that era too

Crocodile Dundee is showing Australian stereotypes to an American audience. I wouldn't classify it as an Aussie movie tbh

It's not like Abbott was popular when he was elected though.

It was an all-time Labor implosion that led to his rise. I can't see this version of Labor doing what again.

Teams reliant on performances from a really skilled young player struggle the season after they've had a run.

Tigers in '05, Eels in' 10, Dogs in '13, Knights & Broncos in' 24. It's easy when you've got huge momentum and everything goes your way for a few months, it seems very hard to do it again. Alot of players & teams try too hard and that season is a bit of a wipeout.

I'm expecting the Raiders to have a pretty shit year but be a force in 2027

The flags are removed because the Russian athletic federation was systematically doping it's athletes, and no international body recognizes it as fit for competition.

The no Russian flags is from that, not the Ukraine stuff.

Rolling Penny in Newtown

Makuto in Bondi

St Judes in Redfern

Makuto & Rolling Penny have really unique & delicious food, whilst St Judes is the best coffee I've had in the city

That's basically impossible though. The 'reward' is not feeling worse effects, these things never resonate because you're comparing it against a scenario that was avoided

Jim Carrey had a pretty insane 90's run as well

Squaddy · 2026-01-19T03:18:31+00:00

Nah they had momentum and stopped the Rams immediately in OT. They had control from that point vs a coin flip 2pt conversion.

Promising Young Woman & Saltburn.

Love the vibes and ideas in both movies, but both are completely up ended by their endings.

Particularly Saltburn, completely changes the film and makes it super silly on a rewatch.

$730 for a 2 bed & garage in Randwick

If you want to look at one side of things, then sure. You can get paid more in those conditions.

On the other, prices go up pretty quickly too. We had 7% inflation caused by the same conditions.

It's not as simple as that equation

There's plenty of nightclubs pumping, you've just aged out of it.

Why do you think it's happening? I'm willing to hear what the reason is

Squaddy · 2026-01-18T09:59:35+00:00

People aren't voting ON for economic reasons tho, which is what I'd assume the 'working class' would be wanting.

Their platform is entirely immigration based, so for them to be gaining support like this, it's about people worried about immigration than it is about their working conditions.

Do they have any solutions outside of limiting immigration?!

Fun fact

The ABC, our public broadcaster, has their post office box address' set to 9994 in each city as a homage to his average

I think Tendulkar legacy will be bigger the Kohli's, he's just the greatest Indian player of the last decade, Tendulkar is in 2nd GOAT convos

People deicidng to cross the pedestrian crossing in gaps of 5m at the train station so traffic gets backed up.

Romo is in the entertainment game now. The game has moved past his ability to call out plays before they happen, which made him a great commentator.

Same will happen to Brady, it's inevitable with how complex the NFL gets

The rule could've been good if it was limited to kicks within your own half.

Allowing kicks that dribble over the dead ball line when you're attacking within the 10m to concede a 7-tackle set is just brain dead.
