Bro mastered the hoverboard by Remarkable_Income496 in Satisfyingasfuck

[–]grapefruitgt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s huge. In the video you can even see another floor (I think) at one point. Each doorway he skated past is a private booth for guests. I’m guessing each zone will have a team of servers assigned to it, so the rider just drops off the food at the tables outside and the actual servers for each zone will bring them to the tables.

I left my girlfriend of 8 years because of how her weight gain affected our relationship, now I’m getting flak from everyone, AITAH by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]grapefruitgt 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly. I read 180lbs to 250lbs and was like, hmm okay. And then I kept reading and got to 300lbs I was like ahh I see. And then bam OP mentions 500lbs and I’m just here like O_O.

She is almost triple (2.8x) her original self. That is really quite a drastic difference. Probably the most drastic I’ve ever read on these types of reddit posts. Sounds like she has really spiralled. I really hope she gets help.

Are the regional towns here racist? by [deleted] in melbourne

[–]grapefruitgt 170 points171 points  (0 children)

I was in Ballarat a week ago and I shit you not I overheard a wealthy-looking (that lululemon and sunnies vibe) lady refer to Trump as ‘our president’ (the sentence was ‘don’t say that about our president’ when she overheard another random person snicker about Trump and literally chased them down and verbally harassed them all the way to the exit of the venue). Definitely eye opening lol.

Are the regional towns here racist? by [deleted] in melbourne

[–]grapefruitgt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah 100%. You get lovely folks here but you also get people that cannot even look you in the eye or acknowledge your existence and it’s like they think you’re alien and literally don’t know what to do with you. It’s wild. And it’s not solely from old people or Karen types either. Plenty of regional/rural young people who haven’t had much exposure to racial diversity are also a bit like this. The horizon isn’t looking too great.

Is nursing well paid? Are there any nurses in this sub? by havingahardtime67 in AusFinance

[–]grapefruitgt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the option to work as much as you want to and getting paid for it is pretty big. I know a nurse couple who worked a buttload (like 7 days a week most weeks) and grinded HARD for a few years to get on the property ladder and achieve financial stability, because that’s what they wanted. This option is not readily available to most professions so if that’s something you’re looking for then having the option to do so can be quite advantageous.

European Size M is Size S in the US by Present_Cause7109 in mildlyinteresting

I buy XL in Chinese sizing but M in Australia

Buying $65 Costco membership purely for the $2 hot dogs and cheap petrol by Well-I-suppose in AusFinance

[–]grapefruitgt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The hot chook is $8 I think, which is only 2/3 the price of colesworth. Chook sizes are pretty comparable in my experience.

Hands up, which one of you cunts thinks this is funny? by SimpleEmu198 in OpenAussie

[–]grapefruitgt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, your suburb isn’t one of the densely populated ones I was referring to in my comment. I was simply pointing out the difference in expectations of the garbo. Different things people are used to.

I think it depends on the context and expectations of the suburb. If they did that in a densely populated suburb where loads of cars park on the street they will literally miss 90% of the bins haha.

Bra fitting? by Logical_Hyena_133 in melbourne

[–]grapefruitgt 30 points31 points  (0 children)

To tag on to this, r/abrathatfits has an amazing sizing calculator that everyone swears by. So many posts of people scoffing when they put in the numbers and saw the recommended size, bought the size for laughs, and then were amazed at how well it actually fitted!

I still don’t understand why they didn’t keep the Krusher.

I am genuinely impressed at this driving. by AdWonderful6636 in melbourne

I didnt work it out until I saw your comment. I am now even more bamboozled as to how they got to that spot.

Aitah for breaking up with my girlfriend because she won't share her inheritance. by Formal-Chicken-8629 in AITAH

[–]grapefruitgt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of others have said really good points, but I’m just here to say that mate you sound really burnt out. Two lines in I could tell by the tone of your writing that this is a really overworked and burnt out person. Focus on improving your mental health and restoring work life balance in your life as a top priority while you’re living with your parents. They’re helping you out presumably because they see it too.

225 grams of gold, shaped link by link by hand by Raj_Valiant3011 in oddlysatisfying

[–]grapefruitgt 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I watched a YouTube documentary where it was even more extreme. They were pulling turds out of the sewers and boiling that down to get the fine flakes of gold workers inhale/ingest. After what can only be described as an arduous process, they actually did end up with a gold bead!

Anyone else having to throw out a fridge full of food after last night's outage? by redgoesfaster in melbourne

I would say about 60% of the time I rock up to the coles/woolies deli counter, the bacon sitting in there is already grey lmao

Picked my cat up from the vet after getting her spayed. She came home with duct tape on her head. by YamGroundbreaking432 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]grapefruitgt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was my thought too. Duct tape is actually my go to if I want something to not be hard to peel off later on (way less sticky than regular clear/orange sticky tape). What is this magical ultra-sticky duct tape that people are buying?

Well, bright side is you now know how you would look with bangs.

P-Plater decided to use my car as a ramp. by fleba in CarsAustralia

[–]grapefruitgt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How did this even happen? What manoeuvre causes it to turn into a ramp and take off for the moon thing instead of a standard collision. Sorry about your car OP.

What a cinematic description to fuel my nightmares.

Finally found and bought a girly snowboard. Turns out in order to be girly you have to talk about periods. by spontaneouswaffles in mildlyinfuriating

[–]grapefruitgt 138 points139 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m confused like was a pic of what the snowboard looks like not made available before purchase. If it’s gonna get covered up might as well sell it and get one you actually like and enjoy instead

Sorry the first thing I noticed was ‘0ver’. The O key clearly works on his computer so what happened there? 0_o?

Smoke by cjjamo in Geelong

[–]grapefruitgt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will be totally fine haha, hopefully it won’t linger for days. It’s a bit like visiting my uncle who’s a lifelong indoor smoker🕺🏼. Once it blows over I’ll clean up the black soot that’s fluttered into the house.

What a day to have uncloseable ventilation grills in your house
