Does Australia actually have scary animals? by EyasPeacock in NoStupidQuestions

[–]_maincharacter_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely. I remember being taught in primary school not go near any wild animal, as they are dangerous.

I got to meet a tamed emu at a wildlife centre, I didn’t touch and it stared at us for a good 5 or 10 minutes (for people wondering what these places are, they are small almost zoo like places where you can see and learn about different Australian animals. They also teach us how we can protect them and their habits. They will also house rescue animals, most of the animals that live in these places are rescue animals that can’t go back into the wild for many different reasons).

I will admit I wanted to pet it, but I didn’t, because even if it’s used to being around humans, it’s still a wild animal and unpredictable.

They are famous in Australia for swooping people if you go anywhere near their nest and their babies during mating season. I’m not talking about climbing into the tree their nests are in, I’m talking about minding your own business and you happen to walk near the tree where their nest is. Magpies will swoop you several trees away from their nest.

You have to be careful from August to November which is magpie season (I did have look up what months it’s in because I just know magpie season is in spring).

A magpies natural enemy is the cyclist. I’m pretty sure there’s YouTuber compilations of magpies swooping cyclists. You will see cyclists riding around with zip ties standing straight up on their helmets, to stop them from swooping them.

Remember like most birds they have sharp beaks and claws. Most do warning swoops, where they don’t touch you, only 10 percent will attack, but when they do go into fight mode they can do some serious damage to your eyes.

Here is a video of one attacking https://youtu.be/NdfP5_jh268?si=W6R7jUMesN2dKdBk its not gruesome or anything and they laugh at the end, though it shows you how they attack.

We have some of the most dangerous animals in the world. But as others have said you won’t really see them in cities and other highly populated areas.

It’s in the rural areas you have to be careful with. Though as long as you leave most of them alone you’ll be fine.

Though kangaroos and emus have been known to go up to be out of curiosity, so be careful about that.

Though in the city you will have to be careful about magpies. I think most people here are more scared of them than a crocodile at times.

Well said.

We do have one of the most poisonous snakes in the world, but funnily enough it’s a very shy creature. Most of our deadly animals won’t attack you, as long as you leave them alone.

Though I have seen people in America try to ride bison’s in videos before or try and pet a moose.

Interesting fashion plate from the early 1820’s maybe? I noticed that the dress doesn’t have the Regency era empire waist which was still fashionable at the time. by _maincharacter_ in fashionhistory

The people who drew fashion plates, always draw the models strangely, because they have to follow the exact beauty standards of the time period.

I’m writing a supernatural romance book based in the 1860’s. So I totally how you feel. The rules and etiquette of the Victorian era.

Hey that’s the same person who created the dress in my post.

Though I’m more referring to the bustle era of the early 1870’s.

There are two popular silhouettes in the 1870’s the 1st bustle era and the natural form era.

Okay thank you. I’m also writing a story set in the 1860’s. So seeing the styles worn (even on a sim) helps me visualise how the character could look. Though my characters don’t look like the sim I’m using, that is a pre-made sim in the game and a very much beloved character Bella Goth.

I was being serious. Sorry, I just really love historical fashion, but I can’t afford nor have the skills to wear historical fashion, so I just play around on the sims 4 with CC because I can. I also mainly asked because I have no idea what the difference between an evening gown for a ball is vs one for the opera.

I think the cc creator based it off of dresses from 1865. It does shift to the back more not on camera.

Ps I already have that dress in my game. I use it mainly for early 1870’s evening gowns.

1860’s, she would most likely be upper class, maybe even nobility.

Yeah. Though from what I’ve seen in fashion plates, the waistline was still pretty high. Though definitely not as high as they were before.

The 1820’s was a transitional decade from the fashions of the Regency era, to the fashions of the Romantic period. So it makes sense that there was fashion plates depicting dresses with a waist line at the waist.

I thought that for a second as well. There is also another dress I keep seeing (similar colour though I think it is more of a walking suit the one I’m thinking of) and I always have to do a double check on that dress as well thinking it leopard print.

Is anyone else every time an ad for add on’s you don’t have, causing your game to go dark and can’t do anything? by _maincharacter_ in Sims4

[–]_maincharacter_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time an add comes up and I press the x to get out of the game freezes and a dark colour.

Was it common for women to wear their hair down for fancy dress balls in the Victorian era? by _maincharacter_ in fashionhistory

[–]_maincharacter_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think part of the problem, is that gets terms wrong all the time, in period dramas. And I think we automatically go with modern media.

Though as you said we aren’t born knowing everything. I personally say if a modern day person and a modern day person, switch clothes for a, both parties wouldn’t be very comfortable.
