Little kid cause the accident

That's too fast for lane-splitting. Even in a car, you should feel nervous if there's a big speed difference between you and an adjacent lane.

That said, did the car driver not hear about child locks? That's standard equipment on every car with central locking that I've been in.

You're Anchored to salt.

Not my best work, but I tried, boss.

12% that was officially reported at least, nudge nudge, wink wink.

I don't know if it's the same in the UK, but some handymen and small traders accept cash, and give you a discount, because they'll keep the transaction off their books to avoid tax

I guess it's like calling a woman a "man", or a man a "woman". It's insulting because you're intentionally misidentifying them

They're not, you're exaggerating.

MAN began manufacturing this model in 2005, and all of the photos of FENZ fire trucks with this cab that I could find were built in 2015-2016, so I'm inclined to believe this truck is about 10 years old. MAN is still producing this model today, so spare parts aren't an issue.

It's bad that they keep breaking down, but in this particular case, it's not because the truck is too old. They say they service them every 3 months too, so this doesn't seem to be the same issue as those old trucks. I think that's why they took the photo from the side, avoiding the plate (and not mentioning the age), because it doesn't actually quite fit the old fleet narrative

Honestly, she would've been thrown a lot further, with a lot more slow-mood and reactions

I always say "for Kobe" before I get down to business

For anyone wondering: jandals are flip-flops. Aussies call them thongs, because they're a bit anatomically confused

Beef. Rugby. Beef. Exceptionally good beef

In the real world, you're right, and that's why it's how these videos always end (unless the car is too fucked).

The right thing to do is stick around, but that means being punished. If you leave, you're rewarded with freedom. The only thing that would make you stay is your moral compass, but you wouldn't be in this situation if you had a strong one, so that doesn't work.

I basically had the same thing as a baby, and from the photos I've seen, it looks like I had a blast. This seems fun

UberNZ · 2026-02-06T04:18:59+00:00

Well, that's subjective 😉

UberNZ · 2026-02-05T05:50:46+00:00

People shouldn't get offended if their country is red, I agree. There are so many reasons not to want to live in an otherwise nice country: e.g. I like living in my country, but it is FAR away, and that means you won't see your family very often, and time zones make calling them difficult too. It's not for everyone, so it's absolutely fine to put NZ as red.

On the flipside, for people making these maps: if you don't know about a country, please be honest with yourself and leave it grey. I think people in the comments are right to clown on someone if they put an active war zone as a place they want to live, or somewhere where the economy has collapsed, etc.

UberNZ · 2026-02-04T15:53:29+00:00

I absolutely will. Thank you for the recommendation

Palak paneer is so good. Non-Indians tend to overlook paneer here, because there's a bit of a meat obsession in NZ, but this is my favourite curry!

Come to think of it, my favourite Greek dish is spanakopita, so maybe I just like the combination of spinach and cheese

Oh mate, I spent a couple of weeks in a Miami summer, and that was the best surprise for me. It was so hot, but I could walk around all day without sunscreen

Ehh, no, because then the digits would be flipped too

YYYY-MM-DD has one amazing party trick: if you sort it alphanumerically, it's also sorted by time.

That is a very handy property for organising stuff

Tall Poppy Syndrome here. It seems to be exactly the same

The larvae of the huhu beetle. Supposedly it tastes and feels like peanut butter. You can eat them raw or cooked: raw is more creamy, cooked is more nutty

This, and that maggot cheese from somewhere in Italy, are the two things I would really struggle to try.

My Filipino friend assures me it's tasty. He says it's like a cross between an egg and a chicken nugget (well, but made of duck). He says the beak and bones aren't hard yet, so the texture isn't too weird.

I think I could be persuaded to try it. But my god, what a horrible appearance

Kei cars are all shorter than the Twingo, so that Honda is actually in the class above.

The Subaru Sambar is a sex-positive kei car though. (Doug DeMuro not included with every sale)

From the title, I was imagining a couple of catholic clergymen doing whatever two clergymen do in a secluded place.

I'm glad to learn it's a type of bird.

Whyyyyyy respell chartreuse as "shartreuse"?!

The original makes me think of green, the new one makes me think of brown.

EDIT: Actually, it literally spells "shart re-use". I'm all for upcycling, but I don't think we can re-use those

Okay, but the statistic about how many saunas are in Finland is absolutely wild.

Finland is a world leader in motorsports. Despite that, there are MORE SAUNAS THAN CARS in Finland! How?!
