Opposite monkey paw situation, as cows are no longer farmed due to the poison risk, global emissions are massively reduced. And the huge amounts of land dedicated to feeding cows is returned to forestry, further reducing emissions.

The poisonous cows solve climate change long before the vegans can.

Yet

Good point, corrected.

What’s not in their jeans is probably in their genes.

Key word is “state mandated”, only the state of Victoria was locked down, I think COVID barely scratched the other states. I also lived in NZ at the time, and as you recall, we barely got COVID and I spent 2020 and 2021 skiing and partying. Thanks to clever leadership, not seen in the US at the time.

As for UK healthcare, I quickly researched where Australia stacked up in the world and by most metrics, the UK was overwhelmingly the best. Unlike the weirdly propagandized Americans, I don’t have to do weird mental gymnastics to try and force my country at the top. I can accept facts.

We keep up with the mortgage because the minimum wage here is $16USD.

The average Australian citizen pays $17,000 in taxes as opposed to $14,000 for seppos.

For that, I know myself and all my fellow Australians will never be crippled with medical debt, as going to the hospital is always free. We have the second best health care in the world, right next to the UK.

Us Aussies like to look out for each other, rather than you individualistic, seemingly selfish yanks.

I’m more privy to “_fireFox” when declaring my browser.

PNW?

Damn, $3.50USD gets you a flat white/cappuccino/latte here, I don’t know if you’d find pour over coffee. And people here are upset at THAT cost, with home espresso machines taking off accordingly. I’m surprised Americans drink so much coffee at that price.

Wait what’s the joke

$5USD for a coffee, is that normal? Is that inclusive of a tip? Here in Australia Id leave the register if they tried charging me more than $3USD, and we don’t have a tipping culture (thank god).

I’ll still show up late

Scientists have been edging us with woolly mammoths for decades.

Vegan diets are popular in third world countries because they’re considerably cheaper. Meat is cheap in western countries because it’s very often subsidized by governments. Meat consumption by wealth proves eating animals is a luxury.

Also veganism mantras always have “as far as is practicable”. I bought a Samsung phone because Fairphones don’t work here in Australia.

Oh I upvoted it because I’d never seen the bot before, and liked the idea (even though it didn’t work here). I have the mediafactcheck add-on which simply shows a websites bias in my Firefox toolbar, I think it’s a good idea to have media bias constantly in the public eye.

Oh dear I remember playing around with explosives as a kid, chlorine, break fluid, tin foil, that kinda thing. Then we started playing around with acetone and peroxide, trying to make a touch explosive. I count my blessings that we didn’t do it correctly, as I absolutely would have lost a hand. I don’t know how you can explain to some people the risks associated with this kinda stuff, the book we were using called the touch explosive “Mother of Satan”. If that didn’t dissuade us…

Jokes on you, the trash heap is now deliciously seasoned.

Why did you buy your pet some ashes?

Damn, 2026. I hope you CAN wait.
