beetles in the budgie smugglers trying to have a chop at me
wtf does this even mean?
Bugs crawling into his underpants and having a nibble.
Just when I thought this post couldn’t get sexier
Have you heard what we are not here to do with spiders?
Beetle = beetle.
budgie smuggler = tight underwear/speedo
chop, chomp = bite
Animals tend to seek high-ground during floods, to avoid drowning. Doesn’t matter if it’s a human or a tree, so beetles and spiders climb him and hide. Although he’s happy that it’s beetles and not snakes.
budgie smuggler
OMG, I got new slang!
One of our recent fuckwit prime ministers was prone to wearing them for photo ops.
More than just one of our recent fuckwit prime ministers
It’s funny because any Aussie would read that and know exactly what he means.
My brothers and some local kids went body boarding down the creek when it was flooding one time and they all ended up with a heap of spiders hitching rides with them.
Kayaked a hell creek one time, most arduous thing I’ve ever done, took 28-hours.
Did not know there were banana spiders under every piece of tree I dodged. Was so covered I gave up on using the sponge to toss 'em, went in with my fingers, fast as I could go. Anyway, I’m a little over my fear of spiders. A little.
I would have immediately drowned myself.
That’s what the spiders want.
Bushfires: ok-ok, we’ll wait some time…
Wildfires and floods support each other.
As the green burns down it can help less with water retention and slowing down the surface runoff or stabilizing slopes through the roots.
As the floodings uproot trees or kill them in stagnant areas with prolonged suffocation of the roots, the dead trees dry quicker and become more susceptible to fire.
Climate catastrophe is fun.
support each other.
Aww, how cute…
Well, it is nearly winter 😂
I reckon we’re on coin toss climate. Heads (bushfires) or tails (floods). Sometimes it bushfires, sometimes it’s floods. Lately on the East Coast we’ve been on a flood streak. Our “luck” will change soon.
This is an immensely stupid idea. The SES will relocate your animals if you ask.
Only if they have capacity, and I doubt they have capacity for horses very often.
I guess how stupid it is depends on the particular location - if you’re on a flood plain, then yeah, but if there’s high ground nearby, maybe not.
I didn’t think about all the spiders that’d be in flood waters…
Lots of them can walk on water (e.g. Fishing Spiders)), and some big ones can live underwater for over 24 hours
I’d been saving to buy my kids new laptops for their upcoming birthdays and picked some up at a great sale price last weekend. Last update they were in Lismore on Tuesday afternoon…
… What?
The 2 laptops I ordered were on their way being delivered. It’s now Sunday and the last update on the tracking info was from last Tuesday in Lismore, right before all this flooding.
Lismore isn’t flooding…
