"Americans wondering how on earth all the Taylor Swift fans got to last week’s concert at the Melbourne Cricket Ground when there’s no sea of car parking next to the stadium"

Americans have been so brainwashed that they can't imagine another way.

Where can I see the photo/video they're all talking about?

I'm even happier seeing a nice big park around it. It feels like it makes the point even better somehow.

I used to ride my bike past the MCG on the way to work. I found out Ed Sheeran was playing there because I saw the stalls being set up in the evening.

It's pretty cool to incidentally pass such an icon on your way to doing something else.

Sooooo close to actually being helpful, but the ask was for the video in question not a generic screenshot from Google maps. All the talk of the crowd makes them just at relevant at the stadium. I for one would like to actually see this mob they're all going on about, if just for proper context.

Damn, your imagination can't piece it together? According to the description the comments from Americans came after they saw a Google Maps picture of the stadium. You were then given a picture of that same stadium. And you want a tik tok link instead? Must suck to need so much help in life for the basics. Best of luck out there!

The url is in the image.

EDIT: Since you're either not on your phone and can't copy it from the image or you're too lazy to type it out even though it's short, here it is: vt.tiktok.com/ZSF6gW6VU/

You can copy a URL from an image on your phone?

[-] tyler@programming.dev 1 points 8 months ago

Every iPhone can, and I’m pretty sure Android can too.

[-] LinkOpensChest_wav 2 points 8 months ago

Nope, doesn't work on my Samsung S21 FE

[-] SteveTech@programming.dev 1 points 8 months ago

I believe Samsung has their Smart Select thing, but I like Pixel's implementation much more.

[-] DeathbringerThoctar@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I was wondering that myself

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

I dream for the day we have good public transport.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

But car company say go go car?? As confuse.

[-] bfg9k@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Lol why would anyone drive to the G when Richmond station is right there? Train, Tram and Bus interchange right next door.

Anyone with half a brain gets the train in to watch a game.
