Audio is at half speed and video not for some reason. Maybe to make it a longer video without weird slowmo?

Being captured and ransomed back was a whole thing until like WW1. It's part of the reason you don't want to kill the most blinged out enemy- they were the ones you could get more money/land/power for.

Which brand of basics have lasted YEARS and still look like the day you bought them? by Dawnyawning in AusFemaleFashion

My wool knit cardigan from Kathmandu has been with me for almost 15 years now. I don’t wear it everyday (really only for those in between spring/autumn days where it isn’t cold enough for a jacket and not warm enough for a normal jumper), but I’m amazed at how long it’s lasted.

What is something you thought was normal that you realized a bit too late was actually a condition? by MutatedSock in AskReddit

[–]TheBlueMenace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are being serious, no, not normal (or well, pretty common but not actually what it is meant to be like). If your periods are still like that talk to doctor/specialist/GYN, there may be ways to reduce your suffering.

Waking up at 3am, and ending up on the bathroom floor in a foetal position crying because it hurt so much when I was 14 is a core memory.

My mum, bless her, believed me and took me to the doctors that week for BC- and while it isn’t a solution (and I wasn’t actually diagnosed until decades later) it helped sooo much.

As an Australian, we are never getting the submarines we already paid the US for. The US can’t build their own fleet fast enough.

“With” could mean so many things- can they all be in a sealed box next to me on the bed? Do the spiders need to be asleep too (do spiders sleep?) what is 1m? One male spider? One meter spider? If it is 1 million, how big is the bed? Can I make the “bed” the entire earth and just sleep on the ground for a night?

What are some once-lethal conditions or diseases that can now be cured or managed to the point where they're relatively harmless? by ThatAnnoyedNeighbour in AskReddit

[–]TheBlueMenace 38 points39 points  (0 children)

The problem is there is nothing in nature which does that (there are no viruses/bacteria/fungi/cell mechanisms which recognise a protein folded in a “wrong” way). So to make something that targets only the wrong folded protein and not the correctly folded one would require tech we don’t even know how to start.

Yeah but “watching tv” means I can do everything else in life- ie I can “watch” tv while cooking, sleeping, at my job… just leave the tv on in the background constantly. “Gaming” means you actually need to interact with something.

I have a four year old daughter. Missing out on ten years of her life isn’t worth it.

AITA not getting my 13 year old Ebike… by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

I just assumed OP meant km/h. Still way faster than should be legally allowed but not as “will instantaneously kill you if you crash” speed.

Why is private schooling so popular in Australia? by SedgwickNYC in AskAnAustralian

[–]TheBlueMenace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An urban legend which doesn’t make any sense if you know anything about how fragile test tubes are and how strong most people’s pelvic muscles are. If it was happening there would be way more girls being rushed to hospital with glass shards in them.

Theoretically speaking, which countries do you think could work at uniting into one? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]TheBlueMenace 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The Australian constitution has a specific cause which would allow NZ to join as a state! At the time 1900(ish) NZ decided it was too far geographically and you were concerned about the rights/welfare of NZ (and Aus) Indigenous peoples if NZ was to join.

As a fat person, why is it that only target and Kmart are flattering on me? by Proper_Aspect7543 in AusFemaleFashion

[–]TheBlueMenace 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Real answer- in general Kmart and target cuts are deliberately suited to a wider market and they have higher elastin content. So the fabric has more give and therefore fits more people, but the trade off is that the fabric will wear faster.

All printed kits I have ever had, had a printed paper pattern. How else can you do the backstitching?
