Oh no I can’t slow down, I can’t hold back Though you know, I wish, I could, Oh no there ain’t no rest for the wicked, Until we close our eyes for good.
i have never suffered from self hatred because i grew up, thankfully, in a very pro-black black community. therefore i didn’t have this phase of wanting to be white because fucking seriously, who would want to be like this assholes? shit!
all bugs can be organized into one of three categories: homies, chillers, and haters. hornets and wasps are haters. mosquitos are haters. most spiders are homies cuz they eat shitty bugs, some spiders are chillers cuz they dont really do anything, but also some spiders are haters because they’ll kill you. learn to tell the difference. bees are homies but they become haters if you fuck with them. most beetles are chillers but if they’re the kind of beetle that flies really fast at your face then they’re haters.
Do your supermarkets assume all shopping is done for a family of six? Why is everything so huge??
There are basically no chip flavours. There are a couple (sea salt, cool ranch, a couple more) and then just ten different kinds of chilli/spicy/hot flavour, most claiming to be spicier than the others. Spicy chips are a weird fringe novelty in Australia but here they seem like the main thing.
There may be no chip flavours but there is a hell of a lot of jerky. And chewing gum. Those two things have whole sections, not just a thin sliver of shelf like in Australia. So many chewing gum brands.
There are donuts and ice cream and cakes EVERYWHERE. Supermarket, more like cake/ice cream shop.
The money?? All looks the same??? And it feels like paper???? I mean I know you guys call it ‘paper money’ but I kind of assumed that was an exaggeration? It’s hard to believe it’s actually linen.
The bulk savings are for things WAY in bulk. These aren’t your Aussie “two little packets of chips for one” deals. There are THREE LITRE SOFT DRINKS here, and the bulk deal is for 3 of them. Who needs 9L of soft drink at once? Is this sort of thing for parties?
Alcohol is cheap; by which I mean alcohol is normally priced for places that aren’t Australia. Our alcohol is absurdly taxed.
Everything is packaged so weirdly. I saw transparent bags of neatly stacked corn cobs. I saw tins of “mixed beans”, HUGE tins of mixed beans.
Snapple and Squirt are real drinks.
There is a brand of hair product called “Aussie” with a kangaroo logo. I have never seen it in Australia.
The plastic shopping bags are great. They’re not the flimsy things you get in Australia; they’re real, actual bags. I highly recommend these bags.
Now I feel like australians are just trying to fck with our minds
There usually is a sperate part of the store devoted to cakes and donuts and other pasterys
I love reading people from other countries than mine interpret America because I just keep reading through this list going yep, yep, oh yea, yep, definitely, yep. Idk why it’s so fun.
Viridi is a relaxing gardening experience in which you nurture your very own virtual pot plants and watch them grow in real time.
There are no shortcuts in Viridi (though singing to them may help a little), you simply plant, water and wait. It’s meant to be left open in a second window while you work, or checked in on now and again for a bit of meditative gardening.
Your little collection of plants take a long time to grow, but that’s the whole point. In a world where so many games are keen to give you everything as soon as possible, Viridi slows things down to a crawl, making for a wonderfully relaxing experience as you tend to your plants and watch them slowly grow.
Like everyone always talks about how amazing Rise of the Guardians’ animation was but I think we need to all take a step back and look at the work of art that TinTin was like

When I first saw a trailer on TV I thought it was live action until I saw it again and I was like “wait is it live action”
I FREAK OUT OVER THIS MOVIE ALL THE TIME. I LOVE IT SO MUCH.
Is it bad that one of the many reasons I’d love to have a husband is the 24/7 protection from creepy people and also things that go bump in the night?
I’m not gonna lie, sometimes I’m lying awake at night and hear a noise downstairs, and I think, “Oh crap. I’m the husband. Time to go downstairs and die, I guess.”
