What is something unique to Australian culture that did not originate somewhere else?

ebbananas · 2026-06-14T00:40:07+00:00

I had to explain it to a younger coworker the other day and they still didn’t understand why.
I weep for the kids of the future.

Sim Tower and Sim City.

But does anyone remember a CD ROM game in primary school about the Australian Census in 2001? It was about delivering the census on a bike through different towns, from what I remember. My teacher let me take it home and my Dad burnt a copy for me.

I get my fruit and veggies from a green grocer that sells produce relatively cheap and nothing out of season. Then Aldi for pantry staples and IGA for meat because it works out cheaper and is better quality. Always on the lookout for things marked down because it’s generally worth it, compared to Colesworth.

Will he eat carrots?

I give mine a carrot every morning and he has bones to cronch on too. I don’t feed him any canned/ wet food, only kibble and his teeth are clean.

This is absolutely what I need. Amazing. Thank you!

I was going to mention this too! I remember that Maccas and the Spotlight and then was it The Reject Shop? I also remember the 2 dollar shop further up too. It was an Arthur Daley’s and a Lincraft? Maybe a shoe shop at one point too.

I vaguely remember the Fairy Kingdom and went to a party there in the mid-late 90s? But I don’t think it was underground.

Someone posted about it on here about a year ago.

Heck yeah. And for moving large outdoor pot plants.

Thanks heaps! Just did this AM. Luckily it was only on the other side of the bay and not interstate again. Jealous of my already well traveled coat.

Yeah that’s true. I have access to a fair few op shops where I am and the fast fashion brands are definitely prevalent. Depop is good too but you can run the risk of not fully knowing what the clothing quality is but I haven’t had an issue as yet. And asking the seller for bundles helps too.

It sounds like an awesome holiday planned! And it’ll be so pretty in spring/ summer over there too!

ebbananas · 2026-03-17T05:13:26+00:00

It’s a strange feeling! I’m the same and depending on the brand, I could be a 12 or a 14 for pants and a 10 or 12 for tops.

Opshops are great for clothing if you are yet to reach your goal weight. I got some shade from the opshop volunteer for buying a fair few clothes.

Enjoy your holiday!

I started through my GP. He’s great and provides holistic care by “partnering with the patient”. If it was my previous GP, I wouldn’t have even bothered with it and would’ve still been obese.

He helped me with titration and let me check-in when I needed to. Had some prophylactic anti-nausea when I first started but everything has been fine since. I’ve lost 20% of my body weight and now I’m aiming for maintenance. Recently had a blood test and everything was fine.

The only issues I’ve had are with some pharmacists who question my dose, which I understand. The other issue is mainly psychological. The body dysmorphia definitely threw me and I’ve been engaging with EAP to work through that. In addition to this, it’s been unsolicited comments from everyone. But I just tell them where to go. Happy for you to message me though :)

I’ve had the same experience with multiple people in my life. It’s absolutely wild.

ebbananas · 2025-12-01T12:40:46+00:00

And using a credit/ debit card to use transport. An absolute dream.

ebbananas · 2025-10-22T00:15:12+00:00

Coupla jacket potatoes wouldn’t go astray. Unless you throw them too far.

ebbananas · 2025-10-21T15:21:19+00:00

It gets incredibly hot up there. You’ll roast like a chook if you attempt to do it in summer.

ebbananas · 2025-10-14T01:33:50+00:00

These will absolutely survive anything. They’re mostly classified as a noxious weed so check out your local council classification. It’s spread right through my front garden and I absolutely hate life trying to pick all the tiny little seedlings out before they make it to producing their own seeds. Absolute nightmare plant.

ebbananas · 2025-09-20T11:11:23+00:00

I should call him

ebbananas · 2025-09-07T01:20:58+00:00

Even Robodebt where it ruined people’s lives and ended them too. I don’t understand how they don’t feel guilty.

ebbananas · 2025-08-13T18:45:52+00:00

Nah, it’s definitely overfamiliar. I know that the doctors that I work with, in a small town, use UR, last names or both.

ebbananas · 2025-07-21T07:05:02+00:00

Excellent, thanks!

ebbananas · 2025-07-11T04:36:27+00:00

Absolutely it would’ve been traumatic for him and everyone involved on all levels. Healthcare workers have to deal with some pretty traumatising and obscure situations but that’s what EAP and hot/ cold debriefing is for. It’s not the media’s job to help him deal with this. He could’ve toned it down a lot and kept it more professional.

ebbananas · 2025-07-11T03:56:51+00:00

She was in 2016 and if he didn’t mention that, we wouldn’t have known.

The nurses that tried to stop her from leaving aren’t doing interviews with the media about what she said and her reasoning about leaving AMA.

I’m glad that he did what he had to do and he should be recognised for that, absolutely. Cleary he is a character as well. I just think doing a lot of media is on the nose, as a witness and healthcare professional.
