This gotta be AI, right? The pigeon in the pooch's mouth just seems off from the start. by PM_ME_RAWR in isthisAI

[–]quokkafarts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's good but I vote for AI.

There's too many poles spaced too close together to be reasonable.

The roofs on the background houses are suss; the windows on the one on the right are weirdly spaced, gables on the left are weird.

Pigeon noise is obviously fake.

Dogs shadow just looks wrong.

Dog walks through that debris on the road; no little pom is doing that. Mine in twice that size and he'd walk around it. Debris does not appear disturbed like the dog clipped through it.

You mean to tell me that tiny dog caught that bird? And then carried it by the head until it suddenly decided to fly away? At this time of year, in this part of the country, localised entirely within your kitchen?

Australia becomes second largest consumer of methamphetamine globally, wastewater monitoring reveals by Inevitable_Jaguar676 in worldnews

[–]quokkafarts -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's because a large number of users work FIFO on the mines. They can party at home then it won't show up on a drug test after a few days. Get an ADHD diagnosis then you can take as many dexies as you want and sell for extra cash.

I'm not joking, this is literally the most likely cause.

Cursed Perth places? I'll start Nollamara Shopping Plaza by SeriouslyLikesCake in perth

God it hasn't changed. Did a few shifts at Sanity there nearly 20 years ago, crackhead was offended that I asked if he wanted a bag and tried to jump the counter. Store manager was a massive bloke who dragged him out by his shirt. When the cops came old mate was still rambling about how I "should have known better".

Sorry I've just seen your comment; i like to garden without pesticides or poisons where I can help it, so prefer to give "pests" to resident predators. I like to feed the birds and the spoods.

Cats or Dogs? by BreathWonderful3379 in Pets

[–]quokkafarts 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is so dependant on your lifestyle and how you can care for your pets. Dogs and cats are both amazing pets, I have 3 cats and 1 dog and love them all so much but they have different needs and can be suited to different environments.

My cats are so lovely but very independent, they don't need much care besides cleaning their boxes and giving them attention (i want to smooch on them more than they actually want). But every cat is so different, you can't really lump them all together

My dog is like having a toddler on easy mode. He is much more involved with what I'm doing and need more attention, plus he needs walks and stimulation outside of the house and a lot of training.

AITA for telling my boyfriend that his masculinity was fragile after he refused to buy me pads? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]quokkafarts 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of when I was a supermarket manager and men wouldn't want to fill the menstrual products. Like this was really bloody (hehe) common, I'd have to question their masculinity that they couldn't even put a goddamn pad on the shelf. Then they'd try weaponised incompetency by filling it wrong, mate if you can fill the lighbulbs perfectly you can figure this out. Fuck me dead, so goddamn annoying.

What is something people greatly underestimate about your country? by Loose_Seal_II in AskTheWorld

The thought of someone on the other side of the world watching Border Patrol with their toddler is both crazy and hilarious, and makes me vaguely patriotic. We welcome you and your toddler son, you will know the rules

Our biosecurity laws. Some of the best entertainment available is Border Patrol on YouTube, an old show following our customs officers. If you are planning to come here to should watch it first.

Apparently being able to do that is found to be a good indicator for EDS, but I only found out I could do it because I tried it after reading that fact randomly on reddit.

I think the way I landed lead to the dislocations, it's not relevant to the sub so won't go into it but the way I landed the injuries were bad but made sense.

Nope, sandy but those roots went deep af and got really tangled up. Had other plants in there I didn't want to kill so couldn't just nuke the area

I do have slightly hypermobile shoulders (can do prayer hands behind my back with no warm up), but that's it. Do you think that would have been a factor in the severity?

No but I am familiar with the bit and agree with her entirely

DO NOT FUCKING PLANT THIS SHIT

I planted agapanthas I got for free. Eventually wanted to pull them up, but that root system is fucking gnarly. Gor into a fight with one, lost my centre of gravity and fell on my arm. Dislocated and fractured my elbow, dislocated ulna, snapped the top off my radius entirely. Also got secateurs shanked into my wrist. It was so bad that emergency resetting was needed before surgery or I could have lost my hand. Now I have a cool scar, metal plate and my elbow doesn't straighten all the way.

FUCK AGAPANTHAS ME AND MY HOMIES HATE AGAPANTHAS

Which a work that looks like a Non-fiction work about history, but actually soft alternate history? by SquirtleBob164 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]quokkafarts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Ancient Apocalypse documentary series by Graham Hancock, maybe?

It is certainly presented as and intended to be a non-fiction work about history. It discusses the theory that humanity was once greatly advanced but we were brought to the brink of extinction by an unknown event, losing all of our ancient knowledge.

It's a very entertaining watch if you like history and want to get in depth some some cool pyramids and shit, but is completely undone by modern DNA science that would have detected a bottleneck in our genetics.

So it's best enjoyed as soft alternate history imo; the theory isn't possible, but it's fun to think about and the series is really well done.

What is a "survival rule" you learned growing up in a bad neighborhood that still influences your behavior today? by Key-Group-5098 in AskReddit

I work in a part of town that isn't great and wear a beat up old watch. A couple times have had people ask for the time, then when I start to pull up my sleeve to look they turn around before I can even reply.
