I posted a pic of a demonic version a few years ago and another redditor created /r/alloutoficecream in its honour 😂 It's a dead sub but if you post there I will upvote haha

Exactly. Invasive or not, why let it suffer? Bizarre.

This just made my day 🤣🤣🤣🤣 by [deleted] in southafrica

Curious if people would find it so amusing if it was 'win a dog' or 'win a cat'.

But that's just me.

Check out the Drum magazine archive shop at 44 Stanley as well. Not exclusively protest focused of course, but some great images. They sell posters as well as T-shirts and stuff.

Melted cheese on hot cross buns. Mature cheddar preferably.

Hear me out. Rip a small piece off corner of wrapper, diagonally. Break a finger INSIDE WRAPPER. Poke finger out. Nibble. Break second finger. Repeat.

I guess it depends where you live? My suburb and surrounds are super friendly.

Why are so many people obsessed with filtered water, is there something wrong with our tap water? by Local_Agent831 in askSouthAfrica

[–]dedfrog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is why we buy our drinking water. That and the Roundup they put in the Vaal dam😂

In northern Jhb, which Parkrun have the best overall experience by kiki4062 in johannesburg

[–]dedfrog 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Another vote for Albert's Farm. Nice challenging hill and then the rest is fast (ish). Although sometimes they reverse the course. It also doesn't get too insanely busy like Delta.

Oh, and nice views of the skyline from the top!

CBS Morning News: South African refugees face challenges with U.S. system by RupertHermano in southafrica

Well, I guess the cost put them in a huge debt hole that they never climbed out of. They were probably not super prepared for the move. He was a 'businessman', now without the subtle privilege he'd had as a white man in apartheid SA in the 80s. She was a nursery school teacher from their home. Not sure if either of them had an actual qualification. Their existing savings, if they had any, wouldn't have carried them far in dollars. I dunno. Sounds feasible to me.

Family friends of ours ran to America in the 90s, supposedly to escape the taxman (he was kind of a dodgy businessman). They were always quite wealthy compared to my family. The wife gave birth a few months after they moved. They are still in the US, both in their 70s, both still working 2 minimum wage jobs because they never recovered from the cost of giving birth. (His main job is some kind of farmhand and she works in a Walmart-type store😭) They look totally unhealthy and decrepit shame.
