All I know is you shouldn't drink a ton of red gatorade midway through a night of heavy drinking.

When you start to throw up, your friends will assume you are vomiting blood and call an ambulance or possibly an exorcist.

All the people saying mandatory voting is bad are misinformed. It is essential for democracy, and should be applied everywhere.

Australia has mandatory voter turnout, but you do not need to submit a vote. You just need to show up on polling day.

Everyone has political interests and needs to be politically represented, but some people are too tired after work to take themselves to the polling centre. Others are incarcerated. If anything, those people are more in need of political representatives.

American conservatives spend billions trying to prevent poor overworked people from reaching polling places or exercising their right to vote. Mandatory voting prevents that.

Make no mistake, Australian democracy is healtheir than whatever clusterfuck in going on in the US.

I was repeatedly called an Oompa Loompa by someone upset about losing Starcraft 2, which sounds pretty tame, but the hatred this person put into his writing.

I dunno why but my man HATED oompa loompas

If 14 year old me had heard I would buy a top-tier computer only to underclock it, he would have cried.

But here we are.

Just hoping that everyone understands that The Spinoff, like The Onion, is a satirical website

People need to understand that in a democracy, winning the plurality of the votes is not the same as winning the election. If no-one will work with him, he will not be in government.

Her milkshake would bring me (a boy) to her yard.

I heard that the Inuit people fuck every part of the man, no part is wasted.

Upvote if you like the correct use of OR

Literally the biggest religion on earth, influencing the most powerful nations on earth.

Often antiperspirants create a cycle of dependency. They kill off some of the benign bacteria and favour the ones that produce strong body odour, so if you stop using them you stink.

I grew up in a region where no-one used antiperspirant or deodorant. Nobody smelt bad. People have a smell, but its not strong.

When I moved to the city and smelt post-basketball teenage BO, it was so bad.

I dont use antipersperant. I have asked many people if I smell, all agree I dont.

I left Australia decades back, so all my slang vocabulary is stuck from when I left.

From the article: "Maybe people mean that no inductive argument will conclusively, indubitably prove a negative proposition beyond all shadow of a doubt."

While you are correct, its fair to assume that the above is what is meant here.

I literally only play on slow, and I can barely keep up with my notifications. How do you people live?

Why do you keep eating cat poo? It's full of toxoplasmosis. It's going to kill you. Why? WHY?

Oh sorry, that's 3 questions.

I only say this because I see 0 comments from my instance, but that's real clever, yo.

My favourite is the belief that goose-necked barnacles grew into geese.

The idea was started by the Norman scholar Giraldus Cambrensis in the 12th century when he visited Ireland, and was very popular because it meant that the monks who were required to fast and eat only fish during Lent could eat geese. Technically if they lived part of their life underwater, they must be fish.

Seymour's idiotic comment is real, but the article you linked is satire playing off it.

A lot of the internationals here seem to be taking the article at face value

It was chewy like undercooked bacon rind.

Max Frost - Withdrawal

Same here, like reddit as it used to be.

Not really educational, more just a fun stream that covers astrology/exobiology news and gaming, but I enjoy Moohoodles on Twitch.

Makes me wonder if they are making contingencies for a Trump victory.

The US government could force Google to reveal if people are accessing abortions or contraception, or participating in protests.
