Society & Culture Things you do/did that you probably think no one else does

[Pistol Night]

I do this

I'm currently second longest resident ( and as the other is in his 40s it might stay that way)

Had another resident pass away pre-Xmas so his unit will have the 3rd tenant in my time

Id be paranoid everyone thought I was a campaigner if that was me.

I try to imagine millions of years ago and try to picture city streets being desolate with dinosaurs roaming around.

Ive done it where I imagine things 200 years ago.

I estimate a lot. Flying over a small town in WA trying to work out whrre it is. I estimated 300 to 400 population

Estimating islands off esperance to mainland. Estimated 6 to 7km for the big island from the beach width

I drive past abandoned cottages in the country and imagine when it had people living there.

Which country?

 

[GreyCrow]

Which country?

South Australia

 

[74561347]

South Australia

I looked south of Australia on my map and there is only a white country called antartica

 

[akkaps]

I looked south of Australia on my map and there is only a white country called Tasmania

Fixed

 

[74561347]

Fixed

There's no Tasmania on my atlas, just an area that hadn't been filled in with a warning of 'here be inbreds'

Yesterday for breakfast I had two eggs on toast and for lunch I had bacon on toast

 

[Roo096]

Sometimes for dinner, I have an Ulster fry. Eggs, bacon, mushrooms. sausages, beans, potato bread, soda bread, tomato, and a cup of tea!!

Been there done that, Berocca too

You need help

 

[Gralin]

Yeah but not for that, that wasn't in the last decade

One of my mates (very hungover) put a Berocca in his mouth and had a sip of water. He was foaming at the mouth, freaking out, one of the funniest things I've ever seen

Prefer non alcoholic beer over real beer. When I want a "drink" I have whiskey or wine, beer is just a tasty beverage and I don't need the alcohol.

IIRC the clearer the alcoholic drink the better for you. So vodka yes.

I respect this choice but I don’t understand it at all.

I don’t dislike the taste of beer but I wouldn’t ever drink it if it wasn’t alcoholic. Far tastier non alcoholic beverages available.

Yep this has been my reason as to why anyone would actually buy non-alcoholic beer.

Nah I get it, I am weird on this one.
Most n/a beers taste like bumcrack, but something like athletic brewing IPA tastes great, is a lower calorie drink with all natural ingredients, and a good carb hit after a workout.

Put alcohol in it and I'm not interested, I just don't see the point in drinking beer to get drunk, I'd rather have something worth the self abuse like a well aged brown spirit that's taken generations to perfect, not some bready water that some hipster in Northcote pissed into a bottle

You obviously haven’t had good bum crack yet [emoji23]

You make a valid point. Do people drink to get drunk (due to alcohol) aker DDTA anymore?

From what I've seen, teens and young adults don't seem to have the same passion for drinking themselves into oblivion like they used to, which is good as there are way to many middle aged people with dependency issues.

I’ll still have a few beers for a little buzz but a binge drinking session is firmly a once or twice a year job now.

 

[phantom13]

I actually don’t understand people who have one or two glasses of wine/beer with dinner most nights.
That’s real odd to me.

thats interesting. i know people who after work say "i need a drink" because it apparently "helps" them wind down. another who says the sound of clinking empty wine bottles on bin day is sound to their ears. ok.
