I love the nighttime Mildura coach... Ever so slightly creepy photo I took on our rest stop in Donald

Alt image thingy: a kinda slightly creepy photo taken at 2am of desserted roads in Donald

I fucking love this community. I'd rather drink my own piss than drink instant. Very good sir/madam. We are all very excepting here. Take my upvote.🔝

Someone should print that on a tshirt and put it in a souvenir shop. I'm also surprised license plates haven't changed to "victoria - the coffee capital" I'm fine with instant when real coffee isn't available.

Morning Aussies, greetings from America 🦅

Hope you guys aren't doing too bad, wish I could help you all immigrate here or something

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Which America?

Good America (Canada)

Or okay America (USA)

[–] GaveUp@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've lived back and forth between both actually

Grateful I've never had to step foot in worst America though

Not a chance. I refuse ABSOLUTELY to eat grits. And your mob have the nerve to complain about Vegemite.

[–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I refuse to eat grits too. I have no idea what they actually are, but they sound dreadful 🤣

[–] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 1 points 2 years ago

The nearest equivalent we have is steel cut oats. I understand grits is a kind of porridge, only corn not oats. Should be banned under every possible convention, including the nuclear arms one.

Today on Melbourne roads:

  • Bicycle rider jumping a speed bump on the wrong side of the road nearly hit us.
  • Doing 105 on the Calder overtaking a bunch of cars doing 90. SUV towing a caravan cuts me off and proceeds to fish tail and nearly lost control a few times.
  • Tonight also on the Calder. Absolutely pissing down so most of us were cruising at 80kmh. Except for that muppet who decided that he could fly past at maybe 120.
  • Doing 80 on a very quiet rural road of some sort. No idea what I did wrong but a bird somehow managed to land a massive shit on our windshield. Of all the places and time they could've shitted, it had to be on us driving past under the tree.
