I'm guessing hes copying the Arc de Triomphe simply because he hasn't seen the Brandenburger Tor.

I wonder when he's gonna approach Hugo Boss for new uniforms for the Secret Service.

I see..

Its got a few definitions but the context I was using is coming in at the last minute to secure the win. I've been listening to kids too much and it's affected my language. Rip.

You made me curious. I can't find solid numbers on attacks/deaths per capita, but last year a indigenous Arakun (far north Queensland) fisherman was killed and only confirmed by DNA testing his remains in the Croc.

In 2024 two people were killed, a 12yo girl in NT (Northern Territory) and a 40yo man in Cooktown, Queensland.

The US also seems to have 1-2 annual alligator deaths, but considering our demographics difference (Aus 28.2m, USA 342m), Australia has over ten times as many deaths by large reptile per capita.

BTW all of Northern Aus is where the crocs are, and there are 'Absolutely no swimming' signs everywhere, but it's hot as fuck up there and fishing and boating are very popular pasttimes so it is hard to keep the people and the crocs out of each other's territory. I imagine it's similar in the Southeast US?

Us making glorious wildlife films like Rogue (2007) is certainly not helping haha.

Recommended btw if you like a bit of horror and don't mind dumb movies like The Meg, Deep Blue Sea.

Bilbies are much bigger and their ears are huge, they look sort of like a marsupial rabbit with a large tail.

Sure is. Like Cliff said, it's a Western Pygmy Possum (from social media source).

Microplastics coming in clutch.

When you have to go back 132 years (Hawaii) and 128 years (Puerto Rico) to find a whataboutism you can throw back in a commenter's face - it's probably not very contributory to the conversation.

All intersex people with ovaries, according to JKR: women.

I suspect she'd actually be quite angry at the amount of male-presenting people (complete with penises) that she just affirmed are women.

Its almost like this is a complicated topic that can't be boiled down to black and white by bigots.
