I suppose Happy Anniversary aussie.zone is in order. Our mates over the Tasman had theirs a week ago, and they had a cool post of all the exciting stuff that happened in the year. I don’t remember anything, though.
So you guys feel free to reminisce about the neat stuff you’ve seen on Lemmy over the past year and I’ll happily be reminded of all the stuff I’ve forgotten.
Happy anniversary! Thanks for all the background work you and lodion do to keep our little corner of the web alive.
I’s surprised to see this post on Melbs daily chat, but it makes a lot of sense, being the biggest spot for a shindig on aussie.zone! :)
You’re right - I probably should make it a post in Meta or something. At 1am though, I was on my way to bed. I couldn’t think of anything to really justify as a post. This thread is where I usually put my little musings.
As for the work, I don’t think either of us would say we do all that much. I sure don’t. I respond to reports, clean up spam and vet the new applications, hoping to keep spammers and bots away. Maybe 10-15 minutes a day, often less.
Otherwise I use Lemmy like anyone else.
Has it been a year already?
Not quite for most people here, but for the server and domain, yep!
The how to not poop for three days post!
Dare I ask?
The original seems deleted. Here’s an /r copy https://www.reddit.com/r/BestofRedditorUpdates/comments/1abactb/i_need_to_survive_for_3_days_without_pooping_and/
Wtf? What a happy person they’d be around after 3 days of not shitting.
It’s cold and foggy in Mildura!
This looks like that lake SCP
There are no bodies in the water
You do not recognise the bodies in the water 👀
Fantastic picture
It was so fucking nice to get out of the house on a weekend!
And now I have a new friend and someone to go out and see gigs with!
Maybe my luck really is starting to turn around.
Yesssss! 💜
Heading to the tote tonight to catch up with a very old workmate. Haven’t had a night out in around 6 months.
Actually just excited to dress nice lol
You deserve a good night out!! I hope you have a wild time!
Cool. Have a great time. .😽
Dinner tonight is a very upmarket smoked salmon, leek & potato quiche from the ARC cafe. Piedmontes had them on special. I had a portion yesterday - tonight I will nom the remainder. Seriously yum even heated up in the air fryer. If you see these, check them out - good enough to pretend you made it yourself. Hoax cuisine at its finest.
I ate tuna out of a can with a fork lol.
Bachelor chow 🐟
The trick is, after every mouthful say outloud “oh wow this is actually pretty good!”
Cheers everyone 🍺
Cheers 🍸

Cheers 🧃

But it’s already bed time 🥱
And happy anniversary 🍺
sat on soda soaked into the seat on the train so now im standing in front of some ads waiting for it to dry so i dont look like i peed myself
Oh bacon I’m sad to hear that but I am glad it was just soft drink. I hope the day gets better for you.
A few weeks ago I used the public restroom and the stupid tap was so ferocious it spashed water on my top. Looked like I had dribbled on myself so I stuck my boobs under the hand dryer and someone walked in while I was shaking them.
Could be worse. Our soap dispenser at work tends to clog a bit, sending ropes of white slimy goo flying in random directions, often ending up on your top (or once onto the top of the person next to me!).
I once had an accident with a bottle of moisturiser in the hallway. The result was highly suspicious looking, but smelt better than that sort pf party.
Hahahaha
Thank you. It smells like caramel. I did use up all my luck getting a job this week. A bit of standing is reasonable payment.
👀🫢 oh dear!
Ah, that sucks!
Oh my god how is it this fucking cold?!?!?! Admittedly my rental has no insulation, but still lol
Got a oodie? They rock. Even the knock off one.
I have an old man robe with a hood lol
It will be warm at the Tote. Also, the Raffles on the opposite side of Johnson St from the Tote does a very nice and very cheap feed. I particularly like their Hainanese chicken, but I’ve not had a bad dish there yet. Maybe get some to take home for Gibson? Then she may forgive you for ABANDONING her. In the COLD SNOW. But then, cats …
That’s a great idea actually! She was looking at me like “where the fuck are you going?”
My old dog used to lay the guilt trip on me likewise.
I had the heater on for a bit so I wouldn’t freeze while I was doing work.
Waiting for it to cool down but I’m close to donning the oodie as well.
I haven’t taken off my oodie all day
I made a hot chocolate for my daughter because she’s studying and I realised I’ve never actually made a hot chocolate before so I winged it. Completed the job with marshmallows on the side.
I feel like one too but all I have are little blocks of diary milk chocolate and not mich milk left.
How did you make your hot chocolate?
1 tablespoon of cocoa powder and a bit of sugar dissolved in some boiling water. Topped it up with milk and microwaved it for 1 minute.
I would microwave the dairy milk chocolate in the milk and stir like crazy
Mickey, I see your tail peeking out from the doorway,
Mickey, I see your face from the corners of my hallway,
Stalking me down the corridors of my home
You’re freaking me out, waiting to get me aloneYou hunt me down like a mouse,
You think it’s real neat
When you pounce around my house
And swipe at my feetMickey, I see you crouched underneath my desk,
Mickey, I see you hunched like a household pest
You’re freaking me out, waiting to get me alone
Stalking me down the corridors of my homeI skipped dinner last night so I could get an early night. I did manage 9.5 hours, but starting the trip off with 4ish has absolutely screwed me over. I’m still really tired ☹️
I don’t believe in a God but if I did, this product existing would be like spitting in God’s face.
Before you ask; of course I bought some.
For science, of course.
For science!
Fuck it id eat it. I love Vegemite.
Nah God loves Vegemite. God loves everyone.
I’d probably try that myself but maggi noodles is so of bleh.
Let us know how it goes!
Just to add as well one of the worst things is the price.
Asian grocery store sells their stuff cheaper per 5 pack and actually weigh more per unit.
65g per noodle pack is highway robbery.
Everyone keeps saying this, but I’m yet to find a decent Asian grocer like this. We don’t have Asian grocers in my suburb, just Indian grocers and they are very different.
The gross thing is that theyre Maggi noodles.
Vegoodles. e: as inspired my Mr Inbetween’s vagankle.
That’s definitely one of the two main problems
Local councils as re absolutely fucking useless and I’d abolish them all, or make them advisory bodies at best. They certainly shouldn’t be handling tax payer money.
Generally the older you are the more pissed off at bureaucracy we get.
Embrace it.
Kafka’s “The Trial” is a great critique of useless bureaucracy. It’s a short read.
We need more amalgamation of councils. Good idea to have local representation, but not so local. Can’t imagine the nimbys in nice burbs wanting to join with the plebs though.
I propose the state government forms an office of local council that handles all the contracts for rubbish collection, road maintenance, planning and so on across the state.
Councils need to be further amalgamated and reduced to a representative body only that has no control over the day to day operations and certainly no control over purse strings.
Alright I’ve been back for about 24 hours now so it’s time to start whinging. It’s not even the cold that’s getting me down (this alpaca woollen jumper is almost too warm), IT’S THE GREY. IT’S 1PM AND I’VE HAD MY LIGHTS ON ALL DAY. So bleak outside. Give me back my sun!
I have a bunch of chores to do like packing away all my summer items, moving pots back to my (fixed) balcony and tidying up the thoroughly messy carport, heaps of laundry, changing bedsheets, washing the bird poop off my car from just before I left (bad timing, it’s been on the car for 2.5 weeks now)…
Looking at the weather I think I can put it all off to Monday. And so I shall. I deserve a day of doing nothing (but maybe I’ll get the car washed today and do a bit of laundry). (and sort out the presents.)
yesterday I started doing special spine exercises as well as starting to make sure I used my back properly, no slouching, careful lifting, etc etc
it will probably take a while to see results but it’s a life time change so that’s ok
in the meantime neighbour partied until 3 am 😩
