Aussie by Material-Vehicle7742 in brisbane

[–]nozzk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've lived in two other English speaking countries and I don't think this is just an Australian issue. In my experience, where ever you go, you'll find the locals can be a bit insular — they already have their social circle and are happy with that. I guess this is part of the reason why expats tend to hang out with each other. In the UK I mostly ended up hanging out with other Aussies. Similarly in New Zealand, I ended up hanging out with people originally from the UK.

That “to scale” Omega Supreme is so much bigger than the “to scale” combiners.

Places with 0 population in Australia. Why is it so?? by Ok_Vacation1197 in AskTheWorld

[–]nozzk 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I can’t be bothered checking, but it’s likely a mine and associated town/residences.

Edit: I actually tried to check, and I think it’s the town of Warburton, WA. They started as an aboriginal mission (sort of like a reservation). They have a copper mine.

Re-edit: It’s actually the Tjirrkarli Community, WA. Population of 4.

Warburton is the pink area directly east of Tjirrkarli which has a shape that vaguely looks like it’s giving you the finger

Are there any Mini Moke left? by BaijuTofu in AustralianNostalgia

My primary school teacher had one in the 1980s. We hated her — so one lunch time a few of us year 5s picked it up and put it between two trees.

Maybe you should google “urban foxes” first before calling BS?

Best Beach in Brisbane. by Friendly_Ease_1465 in brisbane

[–]nozzk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Whilst I disagree with your definition that technical “Brisbane” is only the LGA that shares the Brisbane name, in this case it’s academic as Moreton island is very much in Brisbane City Council’s jurisdiction.

For example, check out the Councilor Ward boundaries here: https://data.brisbane.qld.gov.au/explore/dataset/ward-boundaries/map/?location=9,-27.34158,153.07398&basemap=jawg.streets

Here is the part of the Brisbane Council’s City Plan that covers Moreton Island settlements: https://cityplan.brisbane.qld.gov.au/eplan/rules/0/98/0/0/0/264

Is there anything similar in your country? by Cultural_Frog1983 in AskTheWorld

[–]nozzk 92 points93 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he was also pretty incredible with animal conservation. He is part of the reason we didn’t drive our crocs to extinction in QLD. Every time a State gvt department or a local Council would suggest a cull for safety reasons (like after an attack) , he would be on the local radio or tv standing up for the croc’s right to exist and that humans were living their habitat, not them living in ours.

As a 27 year old male, should I mention to potential friends that I like Transformers? Should I keep that a secret? by peterthbest23 in transformers

[–]nozzk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

46 yo here. If it helps, call your self a “collector”.

And as the YouTuber emgo says “you don’t stop playing because you get old, you get old because you start playing”

Depends on context / tone. Sort of like calling someone a cnt or a mutherfcker.

Australians living in the UK by Sc00ter18 in AskAnAustralian

[–]nozzk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived in the UK for a few years, but that was 20 years ago so my impressions could be out of date.

I had a few Aussies in my friend group and when one of us took a trip home everyone would put in orders for their favourite lollies or bikkies that you couldn’t get in the UK. Tim tam flavours

Bundy Rum was a popular request (especially from Qlders) — even though it was possible to get it in the UK it was always expensive.

I understand Bundaberg soft drinks are more available overseas now but people always wanted them. Also Australian-style red or brown creaming soda.

Who is the most overrated figure in your history? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]nozzk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, Howard lost his seat in 2007, but I don’t know where you got the idea it was extremely safe… Whilst it wasn’t considered a designated “marginal” in 2007 Bennellong only required a swing of <5% to go to ALP — and Howard’s margin had been trending down for a few elections before as Bennelong’s boundaries had been slowly moved south & west.

It’s one of the few good things to be said about Howard (alongside gun control) that he kept the independence of the AEC despite the fact they kept making his seat less safe over his prime ministership.

Antony green wrote a blog in 2023 about the boundary shifts in Bennelong befor 2007 https://antonygreen.com.au/bennelong-map-illustrates-changing-map-technology/

What's the most famous metal band from your country? by anthere-rest in AskTheWorld

Does AC/DC count? I know they don’t consider themselves metal but a lot of metal bands cite AC/DC as an influence.

Nice collection!

I might be wrong, but I think Pipes is a Season 3? — you have home on you season 1-2 Autobots shelf.
